Frequently asked questions
Which is better for metal and djent?
The Damien Platinum-6 FR is purpose-built for metal and djent with its high-output active EMGs, Floyd Rose bridge, and tight low-end character. The Pete Dee PT is not ideal for metal and works better in rock and blues contexts.
What about left-handed versus right-handed players?
The Damien Platinum-6 FR is explicitly left-handed with Ultra Access upper fret design. The Pete Dee PT is right-handed only, so a left-handed player must choose the Damien.
How do the pickup systems differ?
The Damien uses active EMG 81/85 pickups with a 9-volt battery, delivering high output and minimal noise ideal for metal. The Pete Dee uses passive Alnico pickups (Diamond SuperRock Custom and Duncan Designed), offering warmth and versatility better suited to rock and blues.
Which bridge is more stable for aggressive playing?
The Damien's Floyd Rose Special with locking nut is engineered for extreme bending and divebombs. The Pete Dee's Bigsby Flat Top B50 provides stable vibrato and sustain but is designed for smoother techniques rather than extreme metal applications.
