Schecter Damien-6 Electric Guitar Satin Black
The Schecter Damien-6 captures tight, articulate tones with a resonant mahogany body and arched top that project clarity and sustain through any mix. Built for studio tracking and session work, this right-handed instrument offers a slim, fast-playing neck that reduces fatigue during long recording takes while maintaining professional playability. The satin black finish resists fingerprints and photograph glare, supporting a clean visual presentation in studio footage or band shots.
Neck & Fretboard for Recording Sessions
A thin 'C' neck profile measuring 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret enables precise finger placement and repeatable positioning across takes, critical for overdub consistency. The 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 14" radius rosewood fretboard deliver stable intonation and smooth bends with minimal hand strain during extended sessions, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width ensures clear string separation and tonal definition through the open position—essential for layer-friendly recordings.
Pickup Versatility & Bridge Stability
Dual Schecter Diamond Heretic pickups provide articulate highs and punchy lows across all three switch positions, offering tracking flexibility without recabling. The volume/tone push-pull control adds coil-split options to craft different sonic textures across rhythm and lead passes. The Schecter Custom Hardtail bridge with string-through body design locks intonation and maximizes resonance transfer to the mahogany body with arched top contour—translating to sustain and note definition that sits clearly in the mix.

The Schecter Custom Hardtail bridge with string-through body design anchors intonation reliably and maximizes resonance transfer to the mahogany body, making it a solid choice for live and studio work where stability matters.
