Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built for fast, high-output electric-guitar work, the right-handed Banshee-6 FR-S combines a swamp ash body with a three-piece maple neck, ebony fingerboard, and 24 frets. Its ultrathin C neck and 12–16-inch compound radius support complex lead playing. A Schecter USA Apocalypse bridge humbucker supplies aggressive output, while the Sustainiac neck pickup keeps notes ringing beyond their natural decay. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series double-locking tremolo adds dive and flutter effects to the setup, finished in Obsidian Blood.
