^^^^ I own that 8 string blackjack SLS and I can tell you that its a great guitar. Great sound and well-crafted.

Oooh. I just woke up, my mind is scrambled right now.
I'm pretty sure they've been listening to us for the passed few years.

I've said this a few times, but what if I told you a passive version and a 7-string version is also coming?
This is in no way intended to be a complaint, but Ibby and Schecter are literally flip-flopping. If that latest Banshee isn't Schecter's take on an Ibby Premium then I'll be the son of a motherless goat. This is...of course...not a bad thingJust making it harder and harder to stick with Ibanez for my next few purchases.
I miss the V-1 so damn muchThe Banshee is less of a take on anything Ibanez are doing and more of a return to form really because Schecter were originally a custom shop and made flat topped superstrats all the time and when the Diamond series first came out in the late 90's the V1/V1-plus (and V7) was part of it but it wasn't very popular due to it's 80's shred stigma so they ditched it and chose to focus on their C shape instead.

Ark ! Putting a 8 string Solo headstock looks awful ! A avenger without the original headstock doesn't look good.
Looks fine IMO: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...871.1073741842.228523443929627&type=1&theaterwell, try putting 8 tuners inline though(not saying it isnt doable, but it would be kinda weird
)
Serious, I dont even need any more guitars but I will buy this if it exists.
The best part is, if it exists, I've got a pretty good chance of getting one since Schecter make left handed versions of almost everything. So its not like when I look at new ibanez's and say, "thats nice, but I'll never be able to own one."
I want a good green seven string. Ebony (no inlay) fretboard, string trough body (or hipshot)
But that green schecter above to me is hideous.
I would like a more emerald quilt burst.
