Frequently asked questions
Why does the Damien-7 have a multiscale design?
The 25.5"–27" multiscale geometry allows lower strings (like a low B on a seven-string) to maintain proper tension and clarity without muddiness, while keeping upper strings responsive and quick. This is critical for modern extended-range tuning and djent precision.
Can the PT Special LH work for metal or djent?
No. The PT Special LH is optimized for blues, rock, and funk with vintage-inspired pickups and a six-string setup. It lacks the extended range, high output, and multiscale geometry that metal and djent require.
Which guitar is better for gigging?
The PT Special LH is explicitly designed for gigging and studio sessions with stage-ready versatility and classic tone. The Damien-7 is excellent for metal and progressive touring but better suited to players in those specific genres.
Is the Damien-7 only for advanced players?
The Damien-7 is rated for intermediate, advanced, and professional players, but seven-string extended range and metal techniques do favor intermediate-to-advanced skill. The PT Special LH is equally versatile across skill levels.
