Frequently asked questions
What's the main construction difference between these guitars?
The Omen Extreme-6 uses a set-neck design (maple neck joined to mahogany body) that enhances sustain, while the Damien-6 FR uses a bolt-on neck design with a removable neck plate. Set-neck typically offers more resonance; bolt-on allows easier neck replacement and adjustment.
Can I use the Damien-6 FR for drop tunings and the Omen for standard tuning?
The Damien-6 FR's Floyd Rose Special bridge is specifically designed to handle extreme tuning changes and maintain stability during drops and vibrato use. The Omen's Tune-O-Matic is simpler and works well for standard to half-step down tunings but is not optimized for aggressive drop tuning.
What does B-stock mean for the Damien-6 FR?
B-stock indicates the unit has cosmetic blemishes, display wear, or minor imperfections that don't affect playability or electronics. It functions identically to a new unit but is sold at a discount.
Which pickup set is more aggressive for metal?
The Schecter Diamond Heretic pickups in the Damien-6 FR are specifically engineered for high-output metal tones with tight low-end articulation. The Diamond Plus pickups in the Omen are more balanced and articulate across the full frequency range.
