Frequently asked questions
What's the main tuning difference between these guitars?
The 6-string can handle standard or drop tunings in six strings with tremolo flexibility. The 7-string adds a low B string (or lower) and uses a 26.5" scale with hardtail bridge for maximum stability in extended drop tunings.
Why does the 7-string have a longer scale length?
The longer 26.5" scale (vs. 25.5" on the 6) maintains tighter tension and clearer articulation on lower-frequency seventh strings, which is critical for djent and progressive metal tones.
Can I use the Damien-6 FR for heavy drop tunings?
Yes, but the Floyd Rose tremolo requires more maintenance and can drift under extreme tuning stress. The hardtail Damien-7 is better suited for frequent drop-tuning changes.
Is the Damien-7 LH only for left-handed players?
Yes, the LH designation means left-handed configuration—the body contour and controls are mirrored for left-hand playing. It is not suitable for right-handed players.
