The Korena take
Schecter’s Damien Platinum is an eight-string electric guitar finished in Satin Black, built around a double-cutaway mahogany body and a set three-piece maple neck with carbon-fiber reinforcement rods. Its 24-fret rosewood fingerboard is paired with active EMG-808 humbuckers made specifically for eight-string guitars and aimed at heavy rock tones. Grover tuning machines and a TonePros tune-o-matic bridge are specified for tuning stability and sustain. Bat inlays, multi-ply binding, and satin chrome hardware complete the appointments.
