Sound & Tone
The EMG-81 bridge and EMG-85 neck pairing pushes high output with a low noise floor, giving palm-muted riffs a tight, cutting attack while the neck position stays thick and vocal for leads. Mahogany body with a set 3-piece maple neck and string-thru Tune-O-Matic bridge adds sustain and body beneath that active clarity, and the 26.5-inch scale keeps the low seventh string defined rather than flubby. It's aimed squarely at modern metal and progressive playing, where fast tracking, articulate low-end chugs and clean note separation under high gain matter most.
Schecter Damien Platinum-7 Guitar Satin Black B-Stock 0322
The Damien Platinum-7 is built for seven-string players who demand speed and comfort across an extended 26.5″ scale neck. Its thin 'C' neck profile and 16″ fretboard radius lock in smooth lateral movement and aggressive bending, while the satin black finish grips your hand and keeps its professional look through rigorous gigging. This is a workhorse instrument engineered for modern metal and progressive styles, backed by Schecter's track record for reliability and consistent build quality.
Playability & Feel
The thin 'C' neck shape—measuring .787″ at the 1st fret and .866″ at the 12th fret—sits naturally in your hand without compromising stability. The 24 X-Jumbo frets on a 16″ radius rosewood fingerboard respond to both precision fretting and hard-hitting bends, while the 1.889″ nut width spaces the seven strings so your fingers move freely without collision.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG-81 at the bridge and EMG-85 at the neck deliver tight, high-output articulation with a clean noise floor—essential for punchy rhythm definition and cutting lead lines on stage. The 9-volt clip-in battery keeps these active electronics powered through long sets, and the Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru-body design locks your tuning and maximizes sustain.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this guitar?
B-Stock means this unit is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections from warehouse storage—purely superficial marks that have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity. It maintains full manufacturer warranty coverage and represents a significant discount on a new instrument.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and progressive styles?
Yes. The EMG-81 bridge and EMG-85 neck pickups, combined with the tight low end and aggressive clarity tone profile, are specifically voiced for metal, progressive, and djent playing. The 26.5" scale and thin 'C' neck profile accommodate extended range and drop tunings.
What is the neck profile and nut width?
The thin 'C' profile measures 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret, providing comfortable grip without sacrificing stability. The 1.889" (48mm) nut width offers adequate spacing for seven-string play without hand cramping.
How does the EMG electronics system work?
The guitar is powered by a 9-volt clip-in battery housed in a dedicated compartment; active EMG pickups require this power to deliver their articulate, high-output tone with minimal noise floor. The battery system supports extended playing sessions.
How does this compare to the Ibanez RG7 or ESP LTD M-7?
The Damien Platinum-7 sits in the same tier and market segment as the RG7 and LTD M-7, all designed for extended-range metal and progressive players. The key differentiator is Schecter's proven manufacturing, the thin 'C' neck ergonomics, and the specific EMG pickup voicing for tight rhythm and lead clarity.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
We collect sales tax only on orders shipped to California. Orders shipped to any other US state are charged $0 sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website.
