Description
The Banshee Elite-8 is Schecter’s answer to guitarists who need eight strings of usable, articulate low end without sacrificing playability. A Swamp Ash body paired with a Flamed Maple top gives it both resonance and visual depth, finished here in Gloss Natural to let the grain show through. The 9-piece Maple/Walnut neck runs straight through the body with an Ultra Access heel, so the upper frets stay reachable even on this extended scale.
That 28″ scale length is the key to this guitar’s low-string punch — it keeps the tension where it needs to be for a tight, defined low F#. An Ultra Thin ‘C’ neck profile, carbon fiber reinforcement rods, and a 20″ fretboard radius keep the feel fast despite the added string count, while 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets on ebony give you room to bend and dig in.
Schecter’s own USA SuperCharger Mach-8 pickups handle both bridge and neck duties, wired to a Volume/Tone/5-Way MegaSwitch layout for a wide spread of tonal options — useful for anything from tight rhythm chugging to clear, articulate lead lines. A Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-thru-body construction keeps tuning stability and sustain locked in, backed by Schecter locking tuners.
