Frequently asked questions
Which is better for a left-handed player?
Only the Omen Extreme-6 LH is available in a true left-handed configuration. The Damien-7 Multiscale is not offered as left-handed, making the Omen the only option for left-handed players.
What is the main tone difference?
The Omen emphasizes warm, sustain-focused character with versatile clean and distortion tones suited to rock and hard rock. The Damien-7 prioritizes tight low-end articulation and harmonic clarity designed for precision in extended-range metal and progressive genres.
Why does the Damien-7 have a multiscale design?
Multiscale (fanned frets) spans different scale lengths—25.5 inches on treble strings and 27 inches on bass strings—to maintain consistent string tension and intonation stability across all seven strings, especially critical for lower extended-range tunings.
Which suits a player new to 7-strings?
The Damien-7's thin 'C' profile (0.787–0.866 inches), X-Jumbo frets, and carbon-reinforced stability support aggressive playing and quick position shifts, making it approachable for intermediate to advanced players adopting extended range. The Omen's 6-string design is more familiar for players not yet exploring 7-string genres.
