Detail 01
EMG 81 bridge / EMG 85 neck active humbuckers
The guitar uses the classic active 81/85 pickup pairing, with the 81 in the bridge position.

Independent shopping perspective
The Damien Platinum 6 is a six-string electric built around a double-cutaway mahogany body, a set three-piece maple neck, and a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard. Its active EMG 81 bridge and EMG 85 neck humbuckers are voiced in the supplied configuration for heavy rock, with the 81 designed for detailed intensity, high-end cut, and sustaining lead work. Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners provide finer tuning control, while bat inlays, multi-ply binding, and satin chrome hardware complete the Satin Black presentation.
