Banshee Series FR PASSIVE Guitar Review
Banshee Series – Before the Banshee Elite series, Schecter first issued the passive Banshee FR series. As the name implies, this guitar uses a passive pickup with an output that is arguably smaller than the Banshee Elite series.
An interesting feature of this guitar may lie in the tone knob. The provision of a coil-split feature on this guitar can indeed be considered an advantage because the sound feeling it gives off is somehow quite close to strat guitars.
Speaking of sound, this guitar does produce a ‘really rock’ sound, not as aggressive as the blackjack ATX series but still capable of making the amp we use scream while maintaining its clarity.
Banshee Series FR PASSIVE Features
- Multi-laminate maple and walnut neck which super comfortable profile
- Alder body with quilted maple top
- 12-16 inch compound radius ebony fingerboard for great playing comfort
- 24X Jumbo frets are great for players who love to bend strings
- Seymour Duncan passive JB/’59 humbuckers for serious vintage warmth and bite
