Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and set maple neck give this seven-string a thick, focused midrange, while the EMG-81 bridge humbucker delivers tight, high-output attack and the EMG-85 in the neck rounds things out with a smoother, singing lead voice. The 26.5" scale keeps the low seventh string taut and articulate rather than loose, so palm-muted riffs stay defined and chords ring clearly through distortion, aided by the string-thru Tune-O-Matic's solid sustain. It's aimed squarely at heavy rhythm work and progressive metal, though the neck pickup and 3-way switch offer warmer, cleaner textures for atmospheric passages.
Schecter Damien Platinum-7 Electric Guitar Satin Black
The Damien Platinum-7 is engineered for studio tracking and live performance with a fast, ultra-thin neck and mahogany body that delivers controlled resonance ideal for layering in a mix. This seven-string instrument locks in with a hardtail bridge for rock-solid tuning stability across extended sessions, producing punchy, articulate tones that sit clearly in dense arrangements. Equipped with active EMG pickups, it generates thick, aggressive output with incredible sustain—perfect for heavy riffing and progressive metal parts, yet flexible enough for warmer, nuanced textures when recording clean passages and atmospheric textures.
Playability & Feel
The thin "C" neck shape measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, enabling swift movement across 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 16" fretboard radius for efficient tracking and rapid overdub sessions. A 26.5" scale length maintains balanced tension and articulation across the seven-string configuration, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.889" width) ensures consistent string response and tuning stability during extended recording takes.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG-81 active humbucker in the bridge and EMG-85 active humbucker in the neck deliver hot, responsive output with excellent sustain and harmonic clarity that translates well through interface and mixing chain. Volume, Tone, and 3-Way switch controls provide precise tonal shaping—from aggressive high-output tones for heavy material to warmer, articulate voices for cleaner production work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and how does it affect this guitar?
B-Stock means this Damien Platinum-7 is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections—in this case, a hazy appearance and slightly heavy texture at the heel. These marks are purely superficial and have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity, and the guitar carries full manufacturer warranty coverage.
Is this seven-string suitable for progressive metal and drop tunings?
Yes. The 26.5" scale length is specifically designed to balance tension and articulation across seven strings, making it ideal for drop tunings and progressive work. Active EMG-81 (bridge) and EMG-85 (neck) pickups deliver the high output and sustain heavy riffing demands.
How does the neck feel for fast playing?
The thin "C" neck shape (0.787" at the first fret, 0.866" at the 12th fret) and 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 16" radius are engineered for rapid fret work and complex passages. This geometry makes rapid position shifts and technical playing feel effortless.
Can this guitar do clean tones, or is it only for heavy sounds?
The active EMG pickups are versatile—while they excel at thick, aggressive tones, the Volume, Tone, and 3-Way switch controls allow you to shape warmer, more articulate voices for clean playing and atmospheric work within the same session or set.
What tuning stability features does it have?
The hardtail bridge (Tune-O-Matic with string-thru-body design) and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.889" width) work together to lock in consistent string response and rock-solid tuning stability through long sessions or live performance.
