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.

Stuff About Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Stuff About Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.
