Frequently asked questions
What's the main playing-style difference between these two?
Both suit metal and progressive rock, but the Damien-7's seventh string is built for extended-range and drop-tuning work (e.g., Drop A and lower), while the Omen Extreme-6 excels at traditional six-string tunings and fast lead work. The Omen also offers coil-splitting for cleaner tones, whereas the Damien-7 prioritizes thick, heavy output.
How do the necks compare for speed and comfort?
Both feature a thin C-profile neck and 24 jumbo frets for fast playing. The Damien-7 adds carbon fiber reinforcement rods for extra stability under string tension from the lower seventh string, while the Omen Extreme-6 uses a standard bolt-on neck with a 25.5-inch scale. Either is suitable for shredding; the Damien-7's reinforcement is most beneficial if you're in very low tunings.
Which has more tonal flexibility?
The Omen Extreme-6 offers more immediate variety through its push/pull coil-split master tone, letting you switch from full humbucker thickness to single-coil snap without reaching for a switch. The Damien-7 uses a push/pull tone control and three-way pickup selector for flexibility, but focuses on thick, punchy output rather than clean tones.
Are these good entry points for intermediate to advanced players?
Yes; both are rated intermediate to professional and designed for players ready to handle fast fretwork, aggressive playing, and technical passages. Neither is ideal for jazz, country, or folk styles. Choose based on whether you need six strings or seven, and whether coil-splitting flexibility or extended low-end range matters more to your music.
