Frequently asked questions
Which guitar works better for both hard rock and blues?
The PT Fastback II B excels across both styles thanks to its passive Alnico pickups, which respond naturally to pick attack and playing dynamics. The Damien Platinum-6 is optimized specifically for metal and contemporary high-gain work, making it less ideal for soulful blues expression.
What is the main electronics difference?
The Damien uses active EMG pickups powered by a 9-volt battery, delivering consistent high-output aggression. The PT Fastback II B uses passive Schecter Diamond SuperRock Alnico pickups, which offer more organic dynamic response and require no battery.
How do the necks compare?
Both feature identical thin 'C' profiles (.787" at 1st fret, .866" at 12th) and 25.5" scale length for speed. The Damien has 24 X-Jumbo frets; the PT Fastback II B has 22 X-Jumbo frets. The Damien uses a set-neck (glued) for maximum sustain; the PT Fastback II B uses bolt-on construction.
Which bridge design is more stable for tuning?
The PT Fastback II B's Bigsby Flat Top B50 with roller tailpiece is engineered for tuning stability and dynamic sustain. The Damien Platinum-6 uses a standard bridge; its set-neck construction compensates with superior sustain rather than bridge refinement.
