Schecter Solo-II Damien Platinum guitar

Schecter Solo-II Damien Platinum

The Solo-II Damien Platinum is a capable tracking and overdub instrument built around a thin "C" neck profile and 24.75" scale length that supports extended session work and layered recording approaches. This mahogany-bodied design pairs articulate aesthetics with serious tonal range, anchored by EMG 81 and EMG 85 pickups that capture everything from high-gain rhythm textures to responsive, defined leads.

Recording Comfort & Precision

The thin "C" neck geometry—20mm at the first fret, 22mm at the twelfth—reduces fatigue during long tracking sessions while maintaining enough mass for stable intonation across multiple takes. The 24.75" scale and 14" fingerboard radius sit comfortably between vintage-voiced and modern sensibilities, while 22 jumbo frets deliver clear, consistent articulation across every position, essential for punch and definition in the mix.

Tone & Studio Electronics

The EMG 81 bridge pickup captures tight, controlled high-mids and compressed response—ideal for tracking aggressive rhythm parts and fast passages that cut through dense arrangements. The EMG 85 neck pickup provides midrange presence and sustain for lead takes and smooth rhythm beds. Independent volume controls for each pickup plus a master tone and 3-way toggle switch enable intuitive tonal adjustment during sessions, offering multiple textures from a single instrument without tracking multiple guitars.
