Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between these two?
The Damien-7 adds a seventh string and uses a 26.5" scale versus the Omen Elite-6's standard six strings and 25.5" scale. The Damien-7 also includes carbon fiber neck reinforcement for added stability in lower tunings.
Which is better for drop tunings and heavy metal?
The Damien-7 is purpose-built for extended-range and drop-tuning applications with its longer scale and reinforced neck. The Omen Elite-6 can handle heavy tones but is optimized for standard and half-step tunings.
Are the pickups the same in both?
Both use Schecter Diamond Heretic humbuckers in neck and bridge positions, delivering similar thick, articulate output. The main sonic difference stems from body resonance, scale length, and how each instrument is voiced for its intended style.
Which should I choose if I'm starting with intermediate skills?
The Omen Elite-6 offers a more familiar six-string platform to develop on. The Damien-7 suits intermediate players already comfortable with extended-range playing or those committed to progressive and metal genres that demand a seventh string.
