Schecter Damien Elite-6 FR Crimson Red Burst
Product no: 9000-0010-4739 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The first thing you'll notice on this guitar is probably its beautiful arched maple top and distinct position markers. But don't let its restrained beauty fool you, as this guitar is made to produce rougher types of music. It is purpose-built for speed and power. Its specs say it all: the Schecter Damien Elite is a guitar for serious metal heads. Its metal mayhem prowess doesn't come from shouty graphics or a body that looks like it's fit for impaling; instead, it is wrought by features that really matter: active EMG pickups, a Floyd rose bridge and its 24-fret neck.

Schecter Damien Elite-FR: construction

The Damien Elite-6 FR's mahogany body ensures great sustain and plenty of bass, while its maple top lays extra emphasis on the trebles. Beautiful gothic position markers adorn the rosewood fretboard on the three-part maple neck. What's more, the Floyd Rose Special tremolo bridge allows for spectacular dive bombs and extreme tremolo effects, during which the locking string nut and genuine Grover machine heads retain tuning excellently.

EMG-81 and EMG85 pickups

The bridge pickup of the Damien Elite-6 FR is an EMG 81, a high-output humbucker with sharp attack and great sustain. At the neck, there's an EMG 85, which is a powerful high-output humbucker with a much warmer and versatile tone. Among metal musicians, this pickup combination is widely regarded as a classic one.
