That Avenger

So it looks like the Dream Machine will only have the option for black hardware. Well, at least the pickguard is still metal, just black powder-coated.

The black-plated brass guards were on some of the original Dream Machines, but the most famous ones had polished brass guards. Really disappointing that they'd try to resurrect the name without doing it right. (I love Tom Anderson stuff, so I have a real soft spot for the early Van Nuys era Schecter Dream Machines from when Anderson worked there).

That's probably why they called it the Dream Machine-II, since it's a different take on it.

I would really appreciate flamed hellraisers,that series neeeds a restyling



Oh and

Nothing we haven't seen already,but it's quite a good view. It doesn't even come close to Ibanez stuff,but I'm fine with it anyway.Still,surprised by noone posting pics on fb except Schecs guys

The new Banshee Elite 8 looks great, but it is prepared with Schecters new USA SuperCharger Mach-8™ picups. Any experience/opinions that how do they sound in tone and quality?
I mean compared to the plain Banshees SD Nazgul and Sentinel, which are some of the best passive picups yet to metal and heavy stuffs, but on the Elite it seems that Schecters been experimenting with they own indoor stuff.
Maybe I'm not the only one who is a little bit confused about this and would rather see the prooved SD pups on the Elite as well.

Are these Schecter picups easily interchangeable with the other passive picups?! In that case it would worth a consideration...

And my last question: any news that if the Banshee Elite 8 will be available in the EU as well?

Thanks for the opinions/answers!

Yes they are interchargeable easily,but I honestly wouldn't decide to swap them before the time,all schecter CS pups I've tried in the past have always been extremely good,far superior to duncan and dimarzio regular productions.


Yes,will be EU avaiable,but you probably don't wanna know the price.

Nope,Ilove them too,the blue one has a spectacular finish for real

Guys, I think that's the same guitar, but different angles. Look at the bottom of the headstock on the "Blue" one.

More Chameleon guitars <3

The previous years of Banshee guitars have been available through Thomann etc, so I don't see why it wouldn't.

It's quite possible really,I remember seeing a vid they posted about that model with a total iridescent/changing finish...I just had no idea it was DAT changing

Damn,if they make a 6 stringed one I have to get it,blue and green are my fave colors,and that effect on the finish is just marvellous.
