Schecter Damien-6 FR Lefty Guitar Satin Black
The Damien-6 FR Lefty captures aggressive, articulate tones with its Schecter Diamond Heretic humbuckers mounted in a mahogany body with arched top contour, engineered for recording clarity and controlled sustain. Its slim Thin "C" neck profile and 14" fretboard radius enable rapid playing technique during tracking sessions, while the satin black finish resists fingerprints for extended studio work. The Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo holds intonation rock-solid during punch-ins and layered guitar overdubs, critical for left-handed studio setups.
Recording & Session Tracking
The 25.5" scale length with 24 X-jumbo frets produces defined note articulation and sustain ideal for heavy-hitting rhythm tracks and lead recordings. Neck dimensions of 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret support fast, clean tracking takes, while the 2-way adjustable truss rod with 5/32" Allen nut allows quick setup adjustments between sessions. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width delivers consistent string-to-pickup coupling and tone transfer across multiple recording passes.
Tone & Signal Path
Paired Schecter Diamond Heretic humbuckers in neck and bridge positions produce thick, punchy output suitable for layered rock and metal productions, routed through volume, push-pull tone, and 3-way selector switch for mix versatility. The Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo maintains tuning precision through expressive effects and whammy-bar textures without compromising intonation on playback.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock?
Yes. The Diamond Heretic humbuckers deliver thick, articulate, high-output tones with a tight low end optimized for metal and hard rock. The Floyd Rose Special tremolo maintains tuning stability through aggressive dive-bombs and effects, making it reliable for both studio and live metal and rock work.
What is the neck profile, and is it fast-playing?
The Thin 'C' neck profile at 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret is designed for fast, comfortable playing. The 14" fretboard radius and low-action setup enable quick position changes, and the slim profile maintains stability during aggressive playing.
Does the Floyd Rose tremolo stay in tune?
The Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo is engineered to maintain tuning stability through dive-bombs and whammy effects without sacrificing intonation. Locking tuners at the headstock and the locking nut mechanism lock strings in place to prevent tuning drift.
What comes with the guitar?
The guitar ships with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings (0.010-0.046 gauge) and includes a 2-way adjustable truss rod with 5/32" Allen nut for neck relief adjustment.
Why choose this over an Ibanez RG or Jackson Dinky?
The Damien-6 FR Lefty offers professional Schecter hardware, Graph Tech Tusq nut, and Diamond Heretic pickups in a left-handed format that rivals comparable Jackson and Ibanez models. The slim Thin 'C' neck and fast playability align with those designs, but Schecter's build quality and tonal character appeal to players seeking an alternative in this price tier.
