Frequently asked questions
Which has better pickups for metal?
The Damien-6 FR's Diamond Heretic pickups deliver higher output and thicker tone, favoring dense metal. The C-6 FR Deluxe's Diamond Plus pickups prioritize articulation and clarity, making them better for modern metal and progressive styles where note definition matters.
What's the main tonal difference between mahogany and basswood bodies?
Mahogany (Damien-6 FR) produces thicker, warmer midrange and compressed sustain. Basswood (C-6 FR Deluxe) is more neutral and articulate, letting pickup character shine through with faster transient response.
Are the frets different between them?
Both use X-Jumbo frets across a 25.5" scale and 14" radius. The Damien-6 FR has standard X-Jumbo frets, while the C-6 FR Deluxe uses Narrow X-Jumbo frets, which provide slightly tighter spacing for precision work and easier string bending.
Which bridge is more stable?
Both use Floyd Rose bridges with string-thru-body design. The Damien-6 FR includes the Floyd Rose Special Hot Rod; the C-6 FR Deluxe uses an SGR Floyd Rose. Both lock tuning effectively, though the Special Hot Rod is generally considered slightly more refined.
