Product Description
Adorned with Schecter's gothic-inspired "bat" inlays, the Damien-8 MS (Multiscale) has the look and sound to both shock and rock! Its satin black finish adds just the right amount of sinister style too. This behemoth of a guitar is made specifically for modern metal players looking for an extended range instrument that won't hinder their creativity. With its fanned-fret fingerboard and multi-scale design that optimises the tension for each string — it's a fantastic forward-thinking tool for those who primarily focus on performance.
The Damien-8 MS' Maple neck is reinforced with carbon fibre rods, which makes it incredibly stable and resistant to climatic changes. A Hipshot bridge ensures optimal intonation and tuning, as well as maximising the transference of string vibrations. At the other end, a set of Schecter tuners with Grip Tip speed knobs maintain accurate tuning stability even with heavier string gauges.
Key Features
- Mahogany Body — Provides a deep and sustain-rich sound; giving the pickups a broader tone so the low-end really stands out!
- Maple Neck with Carbon Fibre Rods — Bright-sounding timber is reinforced with carbon fibre rods to prevent warping; improving tuning stability. Satin finish offers a fast, slippery feel too!
- Rosewood Fingerboard — A popular guitar fingerboard material; durable and dark with a silky feel. Features a flat, modern radius.
- 24 Jumbo Frets — Large size offers a controllable feel for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
- Schecter Diamond Heretic Humbuckers — Incredibly aggressive-sounding pickups; giving the Damien a seriously potent voice!
- 3-Position Pickup Lever Switch — Yields 3 sounds in total: bridge humbucker, neck humbucker or a mix of the two.
- Push-Pull Tone Knob — Splits the humbuckers so that you can attain jangly single-coil tones too!
- Hipshot Multiscale Bridge — Beautifully-machined and stable; typically found only on high-end guitars. Features individual string saddles which allow for precise action and intonation settings.
- Graph Tech Nut — Low-friction material minimises unwanted tuning slips.
