Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and set-neck construction give this Damien a thick, sustaining midrange foundation, while the active EMG 81 in the bridge delivers tight, high-output attack that keeps fast palm-muted riffing articulate under heavy gain. The EMG 85 Sustainiac at the neck adds a warmer, rounder lead voice plus infinite sustain with Fundamental, Mix, and Harmonic modes for singing held notes and controlled feedback effects. With a 25.5" scale for firm string tension and a Floyd Rose Special for dive bombs and vibrato, it sits squarely in metal and progressive rock territory where precision and tuning stability matter.
Schecter Damien Platinum-6 FR S Electric Guitar Satin Black
The thin 'C' neck profile and arched mahogany body of the Damien Platinum-6 FR S deliver exceptional comfort during extended recording and rehearsal sessions, with the satin black finish providing a fast, responsive playing surface that requires no break-in period. The Floyd Rose Special bridge paired with EMG 81 and EMG 85 Sustainiac pickups creates a platform built for aggressive playing styles—metal, progressive rock, and high-gain applications where tuning stability and articulate tone separation are essential for capturing consistent takes and maintaining pitch lock across overdubs.
Playability & Recording Precision
The 25.5" scale and thin neck profile at the first fret (0.787") enable rapid upper-fret access without sacrificing stability or comfort, while the 24 X-Jumbo frets and 14" fretboard radius provide a familiar playing feel that rewards precision technique and supports repeatable tracking performance. The Ultra Access set-neck construction balances sustain with accessibility, and the platinum bat inlays offer visual confirmation of position markers during dynamic play.
Tone Capture & Electronics
The combination of EMG 81 bridge and EMG 85 Sustainiac neck pickups with dedicated 2-way and 3-way mode switching (Fundamental-Mix-Harmonic) delivers articulate, high-output response that translates cleanly to your mix bus across rhythmic and lead tracking. A double 9-volt battery compartment powers the Sustainiac circuit, while the 3-way pickup selector and independent volume/tone controls enable quick tonal shaping during session work without sacrificing the aggressive character this guitar is engineered to deliver through your signal chain.
