Frequently asked questions
What's the main construction difference and how does it affect tone?
The Omen Extreme-6 uses set-neck construction which couples the neck directly to the body for maximum sustain and harmonic resonance. The Damien-6 FR uses a bolt-on neck, which allows easy adjustment but provides slightly less direct coupling. For metal and rock with effects, the bolt-on is fine; for studio clarity, the set-neck wins.
Can I use the Damien-6 FR for tuning down to drop D or lower?
Yes, the Floyd Rose Special Hot Rod bridge and 25.5" scale make the Damien-6 FR ideal for drop tunings. The Omen Extreme-6 with its Tune-O-Matic will also handle drop tunings but lacks vibrato control if you want expressive effects.
Why is the Damien-6 FR listed as B-stock and what does that mean?
B-stock typically indicates a returned, open-box, or cosmetically minor item that functions identically to new. You get full Damien-6 FR features—Floyd Rose tremolo, high-output pickups, and build quality—at a reduced price with no tonal compromise.
Which pickup set is hotter and more aggressive?
The Damien-6 FR's Schecter Diamond Heretic pickups are higher-output and voiced for aggressive metal attack. The Omen Extreme-6's Schecter Diamond Plus pickups are more balanced and articulate, favoring clarity over raw output.
