Sound & Tone
The EMG-81 bridge and EMG-85 neck pairing pushes high output with a low noise floor, giving palm-muted riffs a tight, cutting attack while the neck position stays thick and vocal for leads. Mahogany body with a set 3-piece maple neck and string-thru Tune-O-Matic bridge adds sustain and body beneath that active clarity, and the 26.5-inch scale keeps the low seventh string defined rather than flubby. It's aimed squarely at modern metal and progressive playing, where fast tracking, articulate low-end chugs and clean note separation under high gain matter most.
Schecter Damien Platinum-7 Guitar Satin Black B-Stock 0322
The Damien Platinum-7 is engineered for recording and studio production work on extended-range seven-string material. Its 26.5″ scale neck delivers the tonal definition and sustain needed for modern metal and progressive tracking, while the thin 'C' profile and 16″ fretboard radius enable precise fret articulation during take after take. The satin black finish offers practical grip and a professional appearance in the studio. Built to Schecter's standards, this instrument translates consistently through microphones and direct recording chains.
Playability & Recording Comfort
The thin 'C' neck shape with measurements of .787″ at the 1st fret and .866″ at the 12th fret reduces hand fatigue during long session days. The 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 16″ radius rosewood fingerboard ensure clean note articulation and repeatable intonation across takes, while the 1.889″ nut width provides adequate spacing for seven-string play without position strain during extended recording sessions.
Tone & Direct Output
The EMG active humbuckers—an EMG-81 in the bridge and EMG-85 in the neck—deliver articulate, high-output tone with a low noise floor, translating clearly to both amp mic'd tracking and direct interface paths. The active circuit maintains consistent signal integrity across multiple takes and long session blocks, while the Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru-body design holds tuning stability critical for overdub precision. The clip-in 9-volt battery compartment ensures reliable power throughout full session days.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this guitar?
B-Stock means this unit is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections from warehouse storage—purely superficial marks that have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity. It maintains full manufacturer warranty coverage and represents a significant discount on a new instrument.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and progressive styles?
Yes. The EMG-81 bridge and EMG-85 neck pickups, combined with the tight low end and aggressive clarity tone profile, are specifically voiced for metal, progressive, and djent playing. The 26.5" scale and thin 'C' neck profile accommodate extended range and drop tunings.
What is the neck profile and nut width?
The thin 'C' profile measures 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, providing comfortable grip without sacrificing stability. The 1.889" (48mm) nut width offers adequate spacing for seven-string play without hand cramping.
How does the EMG electronics system work?
The guitar is powered by a 9-volt clip-in battery housed in a dedicated compartment; active EMG pickups require this power to deliver their articulate, high-output tone with minimal noise floor. The battery system supports extended playing sessions.
How does this compare to the Ibanez RG7 or ESP LTD M-7?
The Damien Platinum-7 sits in the same tier and market segment as the RG7 and LTD M-7, all designed for extended-range metal and progressive players. The key differentiator is Schecter's proven manufacturing, the thin 'C' neck ergonomics, and the specific EMG pickup voicing for tight rhythm and lead clarity.
