Schecter Damien-8 Multiscale Electric Guitar B-Stock 1330
The Damien-8 Multiscale sits naturally in your hands with its slim maple neck and ergonomic thin "C" profile that works across all eight strings. The multiscale design—ranging from 25.5" to 27.5"—keeps string tension balanced and intonation spot-on, making extended-range playing feel physically intuitive rather than forced. This B-Stock unit delivers Schecter's professional 8-string platform at a price that makes gigging and session work more accessible.
Playing Feel & Neck Design
The maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement stays rock-solid through gigs and studio sessions while the 20" radius rosewood fretboard with 24 jumbo frets accelerates your finger movement across the extended range. The Graph Tech Black Tusq Abasi 8-String nut at 2.205" width spaces the strings evenly, letting you settle into longer playing sessions without hand fatigue eating into your performance.
Sound & Signal Path
Paired Schecter Heretic-8 humbuckers at bridge and neck positions nail articulate lows on the extended strings while keeping clarity locked in across the entire frequency spectrum. The Hipshot 8-String Multiscale Fixed Bridge anchors intonation across all eight strings for reliable stage tuning stability, while push-pull tone control and 3-way lever switching give you essential voicing options to shape your tone without menu-diving.
