Electric guitar with EMG 81, Sustainiac Driver and Floyd Rose Special tremolo
The Schecter Damien Platinum-6 FR S Satin Black is the ideal electric guitar for all gothic rockers and metalheads. It is wrapped in matte black and features distinctive Platinum Bats on the fretboard. Schecter chose a mahogany body with an arched top and a glued, three-piece maple neck, which, thanks to the Ultra Access Heel and "Thin C" profile, ensures excellent playability up to the highest positions of the rosewood fretboard. The powerful combination of a EMG 81 at the bridge and a Sustainiac Driver at the neck ensures ripping high-gain sounds. The EMG 81 offers unrivaled tightness, whereas the Sustainiac Driver is able to increase the sustain of every note infinitely. Last but not least the Schecter Damien Platinum-6 FR S Satin Black is equipped with a Floyd Rose Special tremolo for unrestrained dive bombs and squeals.
The Schecter Damien Platinum-6 FR S Satin Black comes in a sleek gothic finish and convinces with excellent playability and brutal sounds.
Set-neck construction with excellent playability
Schecter Guitar Research uses the proven set-neck construction on the Schecter Damien Platinum-6 FR S Satin Black, which offers optimum playability thanks to modern detail solutions. Accordingly, the Ultra Access Heel guarantees unhindered access to the highest frets at the transition from the mahogany body to the three-piece maple neck, whereas the extremely slim "Thin C" profile fits comfortably in the hand and allows anything to be played with ease.
EMG and Sustainiac pickups deliver first-class metal sounds
For the proper sound, the Schecter Damien Platinum-6 FR S Satin Black is equipped with an active EMG pickup and a Sustainiac. An EMG 81 humbucker is used at the bridge to provide scorching metal sounds whose sharply focused mids and highs ensure clean definition and high assertiveness even in the lowest drop tunings. The Sustainiac Driver on the neck, on the other hand, impresses with its endless sustain and leaves no limits for creative lead playing. The pickups are managed via the familiar 3-way circuit and global volume and tone controls, whereas the Sustainiac can be controlled via two mini switches that enable the option of only sending the root note or only the overtones to the mix.
Floyd Rose Special double locking tremolo
As a first-class metal axe, the Schecter Damien Platinum-6 FR S also features a Floyd Rose Special double locking tremolo, which proves to be the ideal tool for all lead guitarists. With its double-locking construction, it can handle even the most powerful dive bombs and aggressive squeals with unwavering tuning stability, so there are no limits to creative expression. The headstock further features six Grover tuners.
