Frequently asked questions
Why does the Damien-7 have a multiscale fretboard?
Multiscale design (25.5" to 27" across strings) maintains proper tension and clarity on lower strings in seven-string tuning while keeping upper strings responsive. This engineering is essential for genres like djent and progressive metal where intonation stability and articulation across all seven strings are critical.
Which guitar is better for jazz or traditional blues?
The PT Special LH is designed for blues and rock with its swamp ash body, vintage bridge, and warm pickup voicing. The Damien-7 is optimized for metal and extended-range styles and is not recommended for jazz or blues.
How many frets does each guitar have?
The Damien-7 Multiscale features 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 16" radius, while the PT Special LH has 22 X-Jumbo frets on a 12" radius. The Damien-7's additional frets and flatter radius support extended-range playing; the PT Special's radius is more traditional for blues and rock.
What is the main difference in neck construction?
The Damien-7 uses a maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods for stability under extended-range tuning stress, while the PT Special LH uses a traditional bolt-on maple neck without reinforcement. Both are stable; the Damien-7's reinforcement is engineered for seven-string demands.
