Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference in pickup switching between these two?
The Omen Elite-6 FR has a 5-way selector switch, allowing you to blend neck and bridge pickups in multiple configurations for broader tonal range. The Damien-6 FR LH has a 3-way selector, giving you neck, bridge, or both pickups together—simpler but more limited blending options.
Are the neck profiles and playability identical?
Yes. Both guitars feature the same thin 'C' maple neck profile (0.787" at the 1st fret, 0.866" at the 12th fret), 25.5" scale, 24 X-jumbo frets, 14" radius rosewood fretboard, and 1.653" Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut width. Playability and reach are essentially identical.
How do the pickups and tone character differ?
Both use Schecter Diamond Heretic humbuckers, but the Omen Elite-6 FR is voiced for articulate, balanced output across all positions with solid sustain. The Damien-6 FR LH is tuned for thick, high-output, aggressive tone with a tight low end—specifically optimized for metal and hard rock.
Which tremolo system is more reliable for aggressive playing?
The Damien-6 FR LH uses a Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' locking tremolo designed to maintain intonation through aggressive dive-bombs and whammy effects. The Omen Elite-6 FR uses a standard Floyd Rose with similar range but the 'Hot Rod' variant on the Damien adds extra locking stability for extreme playing.
