Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for drop tunings and aggressive styles?
Both excel in metal, but the Omen Elite-6 FR suits drop D and lower 6-string tunings with warm resonance and tremolo effects, while the Damien-7 Multiscale is purpose-built for extreme tunings across seven strings, offering tighter articulation and dedicated low-end control.
What's the practical difference between a Floyd Rose tremolo and a fixed bridge?
The Omen Elite-6 FR's Floyd Rose Special allows pitch-bending, dive bombs, and dive returns while maintaining tuning stability via its locking nut and bridge. The Damien-7's fixed bridge eliminates tuning drift entirely but removes tremolo effects—a trade-off favoring precision over effects.
Is the 7-string Damien harder to play than the 6-string Omen?
The extra string and wider nut on the Damien-7 require adjustment, but both share thin 'C' profiles and 24 X-Jumbo frets. The Damien's multiscale design actually improves playability on lower strings by maintaining consistent tension, making it accessible to intermediate players comfortable with extended range.
Why does handedness matter on the Omen but not the Damien listing?
The Omen Elite-6 FR is explicitly left-handed, serving players whose dominant hand is their left. The Damien-7 Multiscale description does not specify left-handed configuration, indicating it is right-handed only, so left-handed players must choose the Omen.
