Schecter Damien-6 Electric Guitar Satin Black
Description
Schecter Damien-6 Electric Guitar Satin Black
The Schecter Damien-6 is built for players who demand speed and endurance in their instrument. Its slim, fast-playing neck cuts fatigue during marathon sets, while the resonant mahogany body with arched top delivers clarity and sustain that projects on stage. The satin black finish resists fingerprints and maintains a professional, understated appearance that translates well under any stage lighting.
Playability & Feel
A thin 'C' neck profile measuring 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret lets your hand move across the fretboard without restriction. The 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 14" radius rosewood fretboard dig in cleanly for precise bends and articulate lines, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut at 1.653" width locks in stable string spacing and delivers consistent tone from the open position through the upper register.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond Heretic pickups cut through a live mix with articulate highs and punchy lows across all three switch positions, while the volume/tone push-pull control adds coil-split functionality to expand your sonic palette mid-set. The Schecter Custom Hardtail bridge with string-through body design locks intonation solid and maximizes resonance transfer from the mahogany body with arched top contour—critical for gigging reliability.
