Overview
The Schecter Damien takes haunting looks, high performance playability and tone, and packages it into an incredibly affordable price. A satin black mahogany body provides a rich and complex combination of warmth, resonance and sustain.
A maple neck with rosewood fretboard, thin C neck shape, 14" radius, 25.5" scale length, and 24 extra jumbo frets is built for speed, tone, and effortless playability. Lightning fast runs, arpeggios, and hammer-ons have never been easier. Pearloid bat inlays adorn this menacing machine.
The Damien is loaded with a set of Schecter Diamond "Heretic" humbucker pickups which produce a balanced yet aggressive and combative tone. The center Alnico V magnet coupled with Ceramic 8 flanking magnets deliver a crushing mid-range while maintaining a tight, focused and articulate response. The Heretic pickups were designed to conjure the heaviest tones that shake the ground you stand on. Volume/Tone(push-pull)/3-way switch controls gives you an infinite selection of tonal choices.
A Graphtech Black Tusq XL nut boosts tone and performance while bringing out the hidden harmonics and richness in every note. A precise fixed bridge and Schecter tuners put the finishing touches on this undisputed pound for pound champion of guitars being offered at this price point.
Optional SGR-1C molded hardshell case sold separately.

I do believe I'll be very happy with this guitar for years to come. If I did buy another guitar it would be another from Schecter, maybe one with the Floyd Rose, but currently not interested in a whammy bar.
Sound
The guitar sounds amazing right out of the box. It came with Ernie Ball strings which are what I use anyways. The EMG pickups were amazing sounding. Exactly the sound I was going for. I play heavy metal and rock, and the EMG's give that crunch soud I wanted. My other axe an Ibanez has the dual humbuckers which didn't give me the sound I wanted no matter how much I tweaked with things. It has a decent clean sound too which I like for some of the clean intros I like.
Features
It comes with 3 way switch and tone and volume control Pretty standard, but work well.
Ease of Use
For me the neck is amazing feeling. So for me it's very playable...
Quality
I love the finish. Not to flashy, the satin finish will keep pesky finger prints off of it and won't spend more time making it look good then making it sound good. If I could have two of these guitars for a backup I would. But I don't think this one will fail me. The Bat inlays are just cool. It still has the 'traditional' dots on the top of the neck so you can easily see what fret your at if the bats on the main part of the board confuse you.
Value
For the money, it's… read more a great bargain. I can honestly see this guitar going for twice as much as it did. So very happy with that. Glad I have one before people realize how great these guitars are and the price goes through the roof.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't needed to contact the company, nor will I do any upgrades to it.
The Wow Factor
The Bats are just wicked looking... the finish is great! Satin black will keep the fingerprints off of it. The neck just feels like it was meant for my hands.
