Frequently asked questions
What is the main structural difference between these guitars?
The Damien Platinum-7 is a seven-string with a 26.5" scale and set-neck construction, while the Sunset-6 Triad is a six-string with a 25.5" scale and bolt-on construction. The seven-string provides access to lower registers for drop tunings; the six-string is the traditional format.
How do the pickup systems differ?
The Damien uses active EMG humbuckers (EMG-81 bridge, EMG-85 neck) that require a 9-volt battery and deliver high output with low noise. The Sunset-6 uses passive pickups (Schecter USA Apocalypse single-coil neck, TriPocalypse triple-coil bridge) offering passive tone without battery dependence.
Which guitar is better for standard rock and metal playing?
The Sunset-6 Triad suits standard rock and metal with its familiar six-string layout and versatile pickup blend. The Damien Platinum-7 excels in progressive and modern metal styles where extended range and drop tunings are essential.
What does B-stock mean for these guitars?
B-stock indicates minor cosmetic blemishes or packaging wear. The Sunset-6 specifically notes a small white stain visible under the finish at the 1st fret. Both are fully set up and factory-fresh with no impact on playability.
