Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference in string count and tuning?
The Omen Elite-6 is a standard 6-string guitar suited for traditional rock and metal tunings. The Damien-7 adds a seventh string, typically tuned lower for extended-range metal and progressive music.
How do these guitars differ in playability for fast lead work?
The Omen Elite-6 features 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 25.5" scale with a thin 'C' neck for quick position changes and articulation. The Damien-7 is described as having a thin, fast neck designed specifically for rapid shred passages and intricate finger work.
Which guitar is better for cutting through a mix in a band?
The Damien-7 is explicitly tuned to cut through a mix with thick, articulate output without sounding thin or brittle. The Omen Elite-6 offers versatile midrange and high output but is positioned more for general rock and metal versatility rather than specifically for cutting through dense mixes.
What about visual finish and aesthetics?
The Omen Elite-6 features a striking see-thru blue burst finish with visual appeal, while the Damien-7 comes in a buttery-smooth satin black finish, which is more subdued and professional-looking.
