Independent shopping perspective
For left-handed heavy rock work, the Damien Platinum 6 combines an active EMG 81 bridge humbucker with an EMG 85 at the neck. The double-cutaway mahogany body joins a set, three-piece maple neck and 24-fret rosewood fingerboard. Grover tuning machines use an 18:1 gear ratio for finer tuning adjustment. Bat inlays, multi-ply body and fingerboard binding, satin chrome hardware, and the Satin Black finish give the guitar its appointed look.
