Frequently asked questions
What's the main hardware difference between these two?
The Damien has a Floyd Rose Special bridge for vibrato effects and pitch manipulation. The Hellraiser has a fixed TonePros T3BT TOM bridge with string-thru body design, which provides superior tuning stability and sustain without whammy bar capability.
Are the pickups different?
Yes. The Damien uses EMG 81 bridge and EMG 85 neck pickups. The Hellraiser uses EMG 81TW bridge and EMG 89R neck pickups, which are specifically designed for tighter, more articulate modern metal tones.
Which is better for drop tunings and djent?
Both handle drop tunings well with their high-output EMG electronics and robust construction. The Hellraiser's fixed bridge and string-thru design gives it a slight edge in tuning stability for extreme drop tunings, while the Damien offers creative vibrato options if you want expressive effects within those tunings.
Do these have the same neck feel?
Essentially yes. Both feature a thin 'C' neck profile with identical measurements (.787" at 1st fret, .866" at 12th fret), 24 X-Jumbo frets, 14" radius, and 25.5" scale length. The Damien has a maple 3-piece neck while the Hellraiser has mahogany 3-piece, offering slightly different tonal characteristics but nearly identical playability.
