Description
Sound & Tone
The mahogany body lends weight and midrange thickness while the Diamond "Heretic" humbuckers, with Alnico V centers flanked by Ceramic 8 magnets, push a high-output, aggressive voice that stays articulate under heavy gain. The 25.5" scale keeps string tension firm for tight, defined low notes and clear pick attack, and the push-pull volume and tone plus 3-way switch let you thin things out or roll back to warmer neck-pickup tones. With 24 X-jumbo frets, a thin C maple neck and a Floyd Rose Special locking tremolo, it's aimed squarely at metal and hard rock players who want fast lead runs, dive bombs and stable tuning.
Schecter Damien-6 FR Electric Guitar Satin Black
The Damien-6 FR lands a thin, fast neck profile that keeps fatigue at bay during marathon sets, paired with a comfortable arched mahogany body finished in satin black. Built to deliver aggression and precision through every take, this instrument pairs a Floyd Rose Special Hot Rod locking tremolo with dual Schecter Diamond "Heretic" humbuckers to lock in high-gain tones and maintain rock-solid tuning across extended play and dive-bomb abuse.
Playability & Feel
The thin C-shaped maple neck measures .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret, letting your hand move freely between positions across the 24 X-jumbo frets on a 14" fretboard radius. A Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut with a 1.653" width keeps strings properly spaced and tuning rock-stable, while the 25.5" scale length balances responsiveness with the tension and sustain guitarists expect from a full-size instrument.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter Diamond "Heretic" humbuckers feature Alnico V center magnets flanked by Ceramic 8 magnets, delivering articulate, aggressive output that thrives in high-gain rigs and cuts through live mix. Separate Volume and Tone controls with push-pull function paired with a 3-way pickup selector give you straightforward control over bridge, middle, and neck voice options on the fly.
