Schecter Damien Platinum-8 Left-Handed Electric Guitar Satin Black

Schecter Damien Platinum-8 Left-Handed Electric Guitar Satin Black

The Damien Platinum-8 LH delivers a comfortable, ergonomic platform for extended left-handed 8-string playing, thanks to its thin "C"-shaped neck and balanced mahogany body with set construction. The 28" extended scale accommodates lower tunings with clarity and definition, while the satin black finish with platinum hardware creates a professional, understated aesthetic. Factory-setup and ready to perform, this guitar combines accessible playability with serious extended-range capabilities.

Playability & Construction

Built on a double-cutaway mahogany body with a set 3-piece maple neck reinforced by carbon fiber rods, the Damien Platinum-8 offers structural stability and resonance across its extended range. The thin "C" neck profile measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th, paired with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with platinum bat inlays and a 20" fretboard radius for smooth, responsive playability across the full 28" scale length.

Electronics & Hardware

Dual EMG-808 active humbuckers deliver clarity and articulation specifically voiced for 8-string applications, with independent volume and tone controls accessed via a 3-way switch. The guitar features a Schecter Custom Hardtail bridge with string-thru-body design, Grover tuning machines, and TonePros tune-o-matic bridge hardware in satin chrome, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (2.12" width) ensures precise intonation and sustain from the open strings.
