Schecter Damien Platinum-7 Guitar Satin Black B-Stock 0322
Description
Schecter Damien Platinum-7 Guitar Satin Black B-Stock 0322
The Damien Platinum-7 is engineered for recording and studio production work on extended-range seven-string material. Its 26.5″ scale neck delivers the tonal definition and sustain needed for modern metal and progressive tracking, while the thin 'C' profile and 16″ fretboard radius enable precise fret articulation during take after take. The satin black finish offers practical grip and a professional appearance in the studio. Built to Schecter's standards, this instrument translates consistently through microphones and direct recording chains.
Playability & Recording Comfort
The thin 'C' neck shape with measurements of .787″ at the 1st fret and .866″ at the 12th fret reduces hand fatigue during long session days. The 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 16″ radius rosewood fingerboard ensure clean note articulation and repeatable intonation across takes, while the 1.889″ nut width provides adequate spacing for seven-string play without position strain during extended recording sessions.
Tone & Direct Output
The EMG active humbuckers—an EMG-81 in the bridge and EMG-85 in the neck—deliver articulate, high-output tone with a low noise floor, translating clearly to both amp mic'd tracking and direct interface paths. The active circuit maintains consistent signal integrity across multiple takes and long session blocks, while the Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru-body design holds tuning stability critical for overdub precision. The clip-in 9-volt battery compartment ensures reliable power throughout full session days.
