Schecter Damien-8 Multi-Scale Satin Black

The Schecter Damien-8 Multiscale 8-string electric guitar’s haunting looks perfectly mirror this instrument’s dark, brooding extended-range tones! From the black-on-black-on-black color scheme to the bat inlays on the rosewood fingerboard, this 8-string is purpose-built for modern metal aggression, so it’s no surprise that its pair of Diamond Heretic humbuckers serve up an entire range of unholy high-gain chug. A 25.5–27.5-inch multi-scale length design unlocks perfect string tension and spot-on intonation across the fingerboard — two must-have features when dancing up and down on the thin “C” maple neck’s 24 jumbo frets, leveled into a flat 20-inch radius for maximum playability. The Damien-8’s lightweight mahogany body holds it all together, sporting a deep double-cut shape with comfortable contours for unlimited access to this 8-string’s mammoth range.
