Schecter Damien-6 FR Lefty Guitar Satin Black
Description
Schecter Damien-6 FR Lefty Guitar Satin Black
This Damien-6 FR Lefty puts a slim Thin "C" neck profile and 14" fretboard radius in your hands for fast, effortless playability across the fretboard. The mahogany body with arched top contour sits comfortably without weighing you down, while the satin black finish resists fingerprints and keeps the guitar looking sharp under stage lights. Built tough for left-handed players who need professional-grade hardware and a tremolo system that holds tuning through your most demanding performance moments.
Playability & Feel
The 25.5" scale length paired with 24 X-jumbo frets gives you extended reach and defined playing surfaces across the entire neck. Neck thickness sits at 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret—slim enough for fast work but substantial enough to stay solid under heavy playing, and the 2-way adjustable truss rod with 5/32" Allen nut lets you dial in exactly the neck relief you need. The Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width locks your strings in place and delivers consistent tone from open chords to the highest frets.
Tone & Electronics
A pair of Schecter Diamond Heretic humbuckers in neck and bridge positions punch out thick, articulate tones that cut through a mix—perfect for metal and hard rock setlists—and respond to every pick attack and palm-mute variation. Control them through volume, push-pull tone, and 3-way selector switch for real-time shaping on stage. The Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo grabs your tuning and refuses to let go, handling aggressive dive-bombs and whammy effects without losing intonation even during the most intense parts of your set.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock?
Yes. The Diamond Heretic humbuckers deliver thick, articulate, high-output tones with a tight low end optimized for metal and hard rock. The Floyd Rose Special tremolo maintains tuning stability through aggressive dive-bombs and effects, making it reliable for both studio and live metal and rock work.
What is the neck profile, and is it fast-playing?
The Thin 'C' neck profile at 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret is designed for fast, comfortable playing. The 14" fretboard radius and low-action setup enable quick position changes, and the slim profile maintains stability during aggressive playing.
Does the Floyd Rose tremolo stay in tune?
The Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' Locking Tremolo is engineered to maintain tuning stability through dive-bombs and whammy effects without sacrificing intonation. Locking tuners at the headstock and the locking nut mechanism lock strings in place to prevent tuning drift.
What comes with the guitar?
The guitar ships with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings (0.010-0.046 gauge) and includes a 2-way adjustable truss rod with 5/32" Allen nut for neck relief adjustment.
Why choose this over an Ibanez RG or Jackson Dinky?
The Damien-6 FR Lefty offers professional Schecter hardware, Graph Tech Tusq nut, and Diamond Heretic pickups in a left-handed format that rivals comparable Jackson and Ibanez models. The slim Thin 'C' neck and fast playability align with those designs, but Schecter's build quality and tonal character appeal to players seeking an alternative in this price tier.
