Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for drop-D and lower tunings?
The Damien-7 Multiscale is purpose-built for extended and drop tunings, with carbon fiber neck reinforcement and multiscale design to handle extreme tension. The Omen Extreme-6 FR is designed for standard tunings and will not handle very low tunings as effectively.
What's the practical difference between Floyd Rose and a fixed bridge?
The Omen's Floyd Rose Special allows pitch bending, dive bombs, and tremolo effects but requires more setup knowledge. The Damien-7's Hipshot fixed bridge locks tuning solidly with zero adjustment overhead, ideal for aggressive downtuned rhythms.
Are these guitars suitable for someone with intermediate skill?
Both are listed as intermediate-to-professional level. The Omen suits players comfortable with tremolo systems and standard 6-string techniques. The Damien-7 demands familiarity with 7-string voicings and extended-range theory but offers intuitive multiscale ergonomics.
Why is the Damien-7 listed as B-Stock?
B-Stock typically indicates the item is returned, refurbished, or has cosmetic blemishes but is mechanically sound and functions fully. This explains the mid-tier pricing despite its extended-range and carbon fiber construction.
