Schecter Damien Platinum-8 – Satin Black

The Schecter Damien Platinum-8 is an 8-string electric guitar built for stability, modern playability, and powerful tone. With a mahogany body, set-neck construction, and EMG 808 pickups, this model delivers a wide frequency range and clear response even in lower tunings. The extended 28” scale provides excellent string tension and definition across all eight strings.

Construction and Playability

The neck is made from 3-piece mahogany with carbon fiber reinforcement for increased stability. The Thin C profile offers a fast and comfortable playing experience across the entire fretboard. The rosewood fingerboard with 24 X-Jumbo frets and Platinum Bats inlays provides both precision and comfort. The Ultra Access neck joint makes the upper frets easily accessible.

Active EMG 808 Pickups

Both the neck and bridge positions feature EMG 808 pickups, known for their large headroom, defined low end, and clear top end. The combination results in a balanced tone suitable for both rhythm and lead playing on an 8-string guitar.

Hardtail Bridge and Reliable Hardware

The guitar features a Schecter Custom Hardtail bridge with string-through-body construction for stable intonation and efficient resonance transfer. Grover tuners in Satin Chrome offer dependable tuning stability. The Satin Black finish and silver/platinum binding create an elegant, stage-ready appearance.
