Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between these guitars?
The Damien-7 is a seven-string designed for drop tunings and extended range playing, while the CR-6 is a traditional six-string focused on sustain and tuning stability through its hardtail bridge and string-thru-body construction.
Which has better tuning stability?
The CR-6 features a Schecter Custom Hardtail bridge with string-thru-body configuration, which is engineered to maximize tuning stability. The Damien-7 uses a standard bridge configuration without the string-thru feature.
Are both suitable for metal and hard rock?

Which neck is faster for shredding?
The Damien-7's thin C-shaped neck is explicitly designed for rapid technical passages and intricate finger work, while the CR-6's Ultra Thin C profile prioritizes comfort and accessibility across the fretboard.
