Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and maple set-neck give this lefty Solo-II a thick, sustaining midrange, while the 24.75" scale keeps string tension slack enough for easy bends and a slightly warmer attack. The EMG 81 in the bridge delivers tight, high-output bite for palm-muted rhythms and cutting leads, with the EMG 85 in the neck adding a fuller, rounder voice for solos and cleaner passages. Paired with the Tune-O-Matic and stopbar for solid note definition, it sits squarely in hard rock and metal territory, with independent volume controls and a master tone for quick shifts between rhythm and lead sounds.
Schecter Solo-II Damien Platinum Lefty
This left-handed Solo-II Damien Platinum delivers a comfortable, stable platform through extended recording and tracking sessions with its Thin "C" neck profile and set-neck construction. The solid mahogany body paired with a carved top contour generates aggressive response and sustain that cuts through a full band mix. In the studio, the rigid set-neck design and premium hardware eliminate unwanted shift or tonal surprises across takes and overdubs.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 81 bridge and EMG 85 neck pickups generate focused, high-output tones suited to rock and metal production, with independent volume controls and a master tone circuit allowing real-time tonal shaping during tracking. The Tune-O-Matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece anchors strings firmly for stable intonation and sustain across the fretboard—essential when you need your tuning locked down through multiple takes and layered guitar passes.
Recording & Build
The 3-piece maple set-neck with Thin "C" profile provides structural rigidity while the 22 jumbo frets on a rosewood fingerboard with silver "Bats" inlay offer fast lateral movement and clear note definition for precise articulation. Hardware throughout—tuners, 42mm Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut, and bridge components—uses satin chrome finish and premium materials, ensuring reliable tuning stability and consistent tone transfer across recording sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile and dimensions does this guitar have?
The Damien Platinum features a Thin C-neck profile measuring 20mm at the 1st fret and 22mm at the 12th fret, paired with a 24.75" scale length and 14" fingerboard radius. This design balances fast lateral movement for lead work with smooth, comfortable rhythm playing.
What pickups does it come with and can I control them independently?
It comes loaded with an EMG 81 (bridge) and EMG 85 (neck) pickup pair, both high-output designs tuned for aggressive metal and hard-rock tones. Each pickup has its own independent volume control, plus a master tone circuit and 3-way toggle, letting you shape tone in real time without external gear.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and drop-tuning styles?
Yes—this Damien Platinum is purpose-built for metal, hard rock, and drop-tuning applications. The set-neck mahogany body and EMG electronics deliver the focused midrange and aggressive sustain those styles demand, and the 24.75" scale supports lower tunings reliably.
What hardware does it use for tuning stability?
The guitar uses a Tune-O-Matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece, Grover tuners, and a 42mm Graph Tech Black Tusq XL nut—all designed to anchor intonation firmly and deliver consistent tone transfer across extended playing sessions.
What body construction and finish does it have?
It features a solid mahogany body with a carved top contour and set-neck construction, finished in Satin Black with silver-white-black body binding and silver neck binding. The satin chrome hardware throughout completes the professional appearance.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $66 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
