Comfy curves
Fits like a glove. One vital feature of the Schecter Damien's design might not be immediately obvious to the naked eye. Its mahogany body not only imparts a full, thick low end to its sound, but is also shaped for paramount comfort. An expertly arched top puts your picking arm in just the right spot for palm-muted chugging, while a carved back contour fits close to your body for total on-stage synergy. With a classic, double-cutaway neck joint to boot, the Damien's unobtrusive design lets your fingers do the talking.
A humbucker revolution
New design, new possibilities. Schecter have used the Damien to show off their very latest in pickup design. Their Diamond Heretic passive humbucker set employs an innovative new design to get the most out of any guitar.
The combination of two outer Ceramic-8 magnets, surrounding an inner Alnico-V magnet produces the same blistering output all high-gain players require, but retains more of the pure wood tone, creating an impressively soulful, hard-hitting timbre.
Add to this the versatility of a push-pull tone knob, which reduces the pickups' output for vintage-style tones, and you've got a state-of-the-art pickup set that's ready for anything.
Nothing beats a Floyd Rose
The innovation doesn't stop there. Floyd Rose is the number one name in locking tremolo design - and for good reason. Trusted by the biggest names in guitar since 1976, the FR's smooth tremolo action and top-notch tuning stability is world renowned. The Damien FR features a Floyd Rose trem designed exclusively for Schecter.
The Floyd Rose Special 'Hot Rod' combines the much-loved (and affordable!) Floyd Rose Special, with features taken from the very top of FR's range. An improved, brass sustain block boosts you guitar's sustain, and sings with a warmer, less brittle tone. Meanwhile the simpler, push-in trem arm means you can instantly remove it when it's not needed. Finally, stainless steel screws are less susceptible to corrosion and tarnishing, keeping your trem looking stage-ready, night after night, tour after tour.
