Watch
Why it matters
Schecter's catalogue is built on superstrat shapes, and the Banshee is the one with a less aggressive outline and rounder body. The Elite tiers add upmarket hardware and construction, which is where the price steps up and where most of the range's value sits. It is a sensible pick for players who want contemporary playability without the sharper styling of a C-1.
Note
A softer double-cut; Elite and Elite-6/7 tiers.
