Description
Sound & Tone
The dual EMG 909 active pickups push a tight, high-output voice that stays articulate under heavy gain, while the mahogany body and set-neck construction add warmth beneath the attack. The 30" scale keeps the lowest of the nine strings defined rather than muddy, and the Hipshot hardtail with string-through-body stringing lends sustain and a focused, resonant core. It's aimed squarely at modern metal and progressive playing, where low-register riffing needs to stay clear and lead lines need to cut through.
Schecter Damien Platinum-9 Electric Guitar in Satin Black
The Damien Platinum-9 is a 9-string extended-range instrument engineered for capturing articulate, controlled tones across modern metal and progressive sessions. Its thin 'C' neck profile and 30" scale enable fluid tracking and layering in the studio, while delivering clarity across the expanded lower register without sacrificing upper-fret accessibility. The satin black finish with platinum hardware provides both visual consistency in recording environments and durability through repeated takes.
Recording & Build Quality
A mahogany body with set-neck construction and Ultra Access upper-fret design yields tonal warmth and sustain ideal for mix-ready recordings. The 3-piece maple neck reinforced with dual carbon fiber rods, paired with a rosewood fretboard, 24 X-Jumbo frets, and a 20" radius, ensures stable intonation across extended sessions and accommodates both aggressive tracking techniques and precise articulation across all nine strings.
Tone Shaping & Signal Path
Dual EMG 909 active pickups deliver articulate, high-output tones with defined midrange punch suited to heavy gain applications, controlled via independent volume and tone controls plus a 3-way selector for mix flexibility. The Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-through-body design maximizes sustain and resonance for focused recordings, while the 9-volt battery compartment powers the active electronics with consistent output throughout recording sessions.
