Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference in string count and tuning stability?
The Damien-6 FR has 6 strings with a Floyd Rose tremolo for pitch-diving and tuning tricks, while the Damien-7 LH adds a seventh low string and uses a hardtail bridge for drop-tuning stability without tremolo maintenance.
Which guitar suits djent and extended-range playing?
The Damien-7 LH is purpose-built for djent with its 7-string configuration, longer 26.5-inch scale, and heavier .062 gauge low string. The Damien-6 FR works for metal but lacks the extended range needed for aggressive low-tuning djent riffs.
Are these guitars right or left-handed?
The Damien-6 FR is right-handed. The Damien-7 LH is explicitly left-handed, making it the only option for left-handed players between these two models.
How do the neck profiles and playability compare?
Both share an identical thin C-shaped maple neck (.787 at 1st fret, .866 at 12th fret) for fatigue-free playing. The Damien-6 FR has a 14-inch fretboard radius and 25.5-inch scale, while the Damien-7 LH has a 16-inch radius and 26.5-inch scale, making the 7-string slightly flatter and longer-scaled.
