Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference in string count and scale?
The Omen Elite-7 offers seven strings on a 26.5" scale optimized for extended-range techniques and very low tunings. The Damien-6 FR is a standard six-string on a 25.5" scale, matching traditional electric guitar dimensions.
How do the bridge systems differ?
The Omen Elite-7 uses a hardtail bridge with string-thru-body design for maximum sustain and tuning stability. The Damien-6 FR includes a Floyd Rose Special Hot Rod bridge that enables tremolo vibrato effects and pitch bending.
Which is better for metal and drop tunings?
Both excel in metal, but the Omen Elite-7 is purpose-built for extreme drop tunings (drop C and below) with its seven strings and extended scale. The Damien-6 FR handles standard metal tunings and drop D effectively on six strings.
What does B-stock mean on the Damien-6 FR?
B-stock indicates the unit has minor cosmetic imperfections or display wear but full functionality. It offers the same electronics, hardware, and playability as a new unit at a lower price point.
