Description
Schecter Damien-8 Multiscale Electric Guitar B-Stock 1330
The Damien-8 Multiscale delivers refined tracking and articulation in the recording studio, with its slim maple neck and ergonomic thin "C" profile enabling precision tracking across extended-range sessions. The multiscale design—ranging from 25.5" to 27.5"—maintains consistent string tension and intonation compensation across all eight strings, translating to stable tuning and clean recordings during long takes. This B-Stock unit offers the full feature set of Schecter's professional 8-string platform at a reduced price point.
Recording Performance & Handling
The maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement provides rock-solid stability during precise tracking and layering, while the 20" radius rosewood fretboard with 24 jumbo frets supports rapid articulation and complex passage work without tape slippage or timing issues. The Graph Tech Black Tusq Abasi 8-String nut at 2.205" width ensures even string spacing, enabling consistent attack definition and reduced handling noise during close-miked sessions.
Sonic Character & Studio Flexibility
Paired Schecter Heretic-8 humbuckers at bridge and neck positions capture articulate low-end definition on extended strings while maintaining clarity and separation across the full frequency spectrum for clean mixing. The Hipshot 8-String Multiscale Fixed Bridge locks in intonation across all eight strings session to session, while push-pull tone control and 3-way lever switching provide essential voicing options for adapting to different mic placements, amp settings, and mix requirements without compromising tone.
