Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Damien-8 MS is a right-handed, eight-string electric guitar with a satin black, double-cutaway mahogany body and bolt-on maple neck. Its 25.5–27.5-inch multiscale neck uses a Thin C profile and carbon fiber reinforcement rods; the rosewood fingerboard has a 20-inch radius, 24 jumbo frets, and Pearloid bat inlays. Calibrated Schecter Heretic-8 humbuckers work with a three-way selector, master volume, push-pull master tone, and Hipshot multiscale fixed bridge. The contoured neck joint is shaped for access to the upper frets.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Modern rock and metal playing that calls for an eight-string multiscale electric guitar.
- Lead passages that use the contoured neck joint for access to upper frets.
- Players using a three-way pickup selector with master volume and push-pull master tone controls.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing a case or gig bag supplied with the guitar.
