Frequently asked questions
Are these guitars suitable for beginners?
No. Both are rated for intermediate, advanced, and professional skill levels. Their thin 'C' neck profiles, 24 X-Jumbo frets, and aggressive electronics are designed for experienced players who demand speed and precision in complex technical work.
What's the main difference in bridge systems?
The Damien Platinum-6 FR LH uses a Floyd Rose Special floating tremolo for pitch bending and divebombs, while the C-1 Silver Mountain BM uses a fixed Hipshot Ibby HM bridge that locks in tuning without floating movement. Choose Floyd Rose for expressive whammy effects; choose fixed for drop-tuning stability.
How do the pickup systems compare?
The Damien uses EMG 81 (bridge) and EMG 85 (neck) active pickups, known for high-output metal aggression with minimal noise. The C-1 uses Schecter USA Sonic Seducer pickups, which deliver punchy articulation with tight lows and sizzling highs. Both suit metal, but EMG offers more noise rejection for high-gain settings.
Why is the C-1 listed as B-stock?
B-stock typically indicates the unit has minor cosmetic imperfections or opened packaging but full professional-grade build quality and functionality. This allows significant savings on a new Schecter instrument.
