Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for standard tuning and traditional metal lead work?
The Damien Platinum-6 FR S is optimized for this. Its 25.5" scale, Floyd Rose vibrato, and EMG active pickups are designed for classic metal soloing with expressive whammy bar techniques.
Can I use drop tunings and play lower on the Damien?
Yes, the Damien can handle drop tunings, but the AM-7's longer 26.5" scale and 7th string provide tighter string tension and more natural low-end articulation for extended-range styles like djent.
What's the condition difference, and is the B-Stock AM-7 worth it?
The AM-7 is B-Stock (unplayed) with minor cosmetic fret-wire protrusion on the bass side—smooth to the touch—making it exceptional value. The Damien is standard new stock, so condition is pristine.
Why is the AM-7 scale 1" longer?
The AM-7's 26.5" scale compensates for the 7th string's lower pitch, maintaining consistent string tension and intonation across all seven strings while improving precision voicing for extended range.
