Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for metal and downtuning?
The Damien-6. Its hardtail bridge with string-through design, aggressive pickups with coil-split, and 24-fret access are purpose-built for metal. The PT Special's vintage bridge and warmer tone lean toward blues and rock, not high-gain metal applications.
What's the difference in neck comfort between these two?
The PT Special has a slightly larger, thicker 'C' profile (0.826" at 1st fret vs. 0.787" on the Damien-6), making it more comfortable for players with larger hands or those who prefer a traditional feel. The Damien-6's slimmer profile enables faster lead playing and reduces fatigue on extended sessions.
How do the tones differ, and which suits which genres?
The Damien-6 delivers articulate highs, punchy lows, and clarity optimized for metal, hard rock, and studio work. The PT Special offers warm, woody, expressive midrange tones better suited to blues, funk, indie, and traditional rock.
What's the significance of the PT Special being B-stock, and does the neck-pocket crack matter?
B-stock pricing reflects the unplayed condition and cosmetic hairline crack in the neck pocket. The manufacturer confirms this crack does not affect playability or structural integrity, making it purely cosmetic—a strong value if you prioritize sound and playability over perfect aesthetics.
