Ultrathin Neck Profile For Fast Playing

Shredders will love the Sullivan King Banshee 7 FR-S's ultrathin C-shaped neck carved from maple. With its slim profile and compound 12—16" fingerboard radius, this neck offers maximum speed and playability throughout the entire fingerboard. The smooth satin finish enhances your playing comfort, while the graphite reinforcement rods provide rock-solid stability even during the most intense performances. From rapid riffing to wide interval stretches, the Sullivan King Banshee 7 FR-S's neck gives you the fast feel you need.

Carbon Fiber Rods Reinforce Neck Stability

The Sullivan King Banshee 7 FR-S comes equipped with carbon fiber reinforcement rods in the neck to prevent warping and improve stability over time. As humidity, temperature and string tension fluctuate, the carbon fiber rods ensure the neck retains its precise relief and feel. You'll never have to worry about dead spots or uneven action thanks to this 7-string guitar's reinforced stability. Jam night after night while confident that your Banshee's neck will stay straight and true.

High-Output Pickups for Aggressive Tones

With its duo of powerful humbucking pickups, the Schecter Sullivan King Banshee 7 FR-S serves up the aggressive tones needed for hardcore music, metal and EDM. The Schecter USA Apocalypse bridge pickup produces a hot, high-output signal perfect for heavy rhythms and searing leads. Switch to the Sustainiac neck pickup and you'll get infinite sustain for atmospheric pads, alien sound effects and more. Whether you want tight chugs, soaring leads or otherworldly textures, this 7-string electric guitar has you covered.

Sustainiac Pickup Provides Infinite Sustain

The Sustainiac pickup in the neck position takes this 7-string guitar into outer space. By using harmonic feedback, the Sustainiac pickup lets you hold a note or chord infinitely, enabling alien textures, psychedelic drones and more. You can even use your guitar volume knob to control the amount of sustain. Whether you want a light wash of sound or an interstellar infinite sustain, the Sustainiac pickup unlocks new creative possibilities every time you play.

Floyd Rose Tremolo Enables Expressive Techniques

Unleash your creativity with the Floyd Rose 1500 Series double-locking tremolo bridge found on the Sullivan King Banshee 7 FR-S. This rugged trem system stays perfectly in tune even during the most extreme use, enabling techniques like dive bombs, flutter tremolo and radical tuning effects. The locking nut also ensures rock-solid tuning stability no matter how wild you get. Express yourself without limits using the smooth, responsive Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo.

Visually Striking With an "Obsidian Blood" Finish

The Banshee 7 FR-S makes a bold visual statement with its deep "Obsidian Blood" finish. The striking look perfectly complements the guitar's immense tonal capabilities. Plug in and let your creativity run wild.
