Description
Schecter Damien Platinum-7 Left-Handed Electric Guitar Satin Black
The Damien Platinum-7 LH captures articulate seven-string performances with a thin "C"-shaped neck profile and 26.5" extended scale engineered for tracking clarity and harmonic separation across lower tunings. The set-neck construction with ultra access cutaway enables precise fret access during tracking and overdubs, while the satin black finish with platinum multi-ply binding maintains a cohesive visual presentation in studio lighting. Built in South Korea to Schecter's specifications, this instrument delivers the extended-range definition required for modern production sessions and heavy instrumental composition.
Recording Performance & Build
The three-piece maple neck measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth, maintaining the thin "C" profile that ensures fast tracking takes and controlled intonation throughout extended recording sessions. A Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.889" width) and 2-way adjustable truss rod lock in stable pitch for multi-take consistency, while 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 16" radius fretboard accommodate both precise note placement and aggressive articulation techniques. The mahogany body with set-neck construction and ultra access cutaway, paired with satin chrome hardware and Grover tuning machines, provides the tuning stability essential for seamless punch-in edits and layered seven-string arrangements.
Studio Tone & Signal Chain
Active EMG-81-7 and EMG-85-7 humbuckers deliver the articulate high-end and controlled sustain required for precise mix placement, with the 81 in the bridge position carving definition through dense arrangements and the 85 in the neck providing harmonic warmth and clarity on lower register tracking. The Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through-body construction anchors each string independently, promoting sustain and balanced frequency response across the seven-string range for cohesive multi-track work. A 9-volt clip-in battery compartment powers the active electronics with consistent output levels across recording sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar suitable for someone new to seven-string playing?
This model is best suited for intermediate to advanced players already experienced with extended-range instruments. The thin C-shaped neck and X-Jumbo frets are designed for aggressive playing techniques typical of metal and progressive styles, so prior familiarity with seven-string tuning and technique is recommended.
What is the scale length and why does it matter for a seven-string?
The 26.5-inch extended scale is specifically optimized for seven-string tuning clarity and response, preventing string tension issues and ensuring stable intonation across all seven strings, especially when tuned low.
What pickups are installed and can I change them?
The guitar ships with EMG-81-7 (bridge) and EMG-85-7 (neck) active humbuckers powered by a 9-volt battery. Both pickups are standard EMG seven-string models and can be swapped for other options if desired, though the active EMG set is factory-optimized for this platform.
Does the left-handed configuration have the same hardware and build quality as the right-handed version?
Yes, the left-handed Damien Platinum-7 features identical construction, including the Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through-body anchoring, Grover tuning machines, and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, ensuring matching playability and reliability.
What genres and tunings is this guitar built for?
This model is optimized for metal, progressive rock, and drop-tuning applications where extended range and aggressive harmonic definition are essential. It is not well-suited for jazz, traditional blues, or acoustic folk styles.
