Unleash the 6-string Fury!

Grab the Schecter Damien Platinum 6 FR solidbody electric guitar and prepare to rock! A fantastic guitar for a great price, the Damien Platinum 6 FR packs high-end features into a remarkably affordable instrument. Smart features like the ultra-rigid 3-piece maple neck mean you'll get years of great performance from this value-packed guitar. Factor in the solid mahogany body, the Floyd Rose Special tremolo, and a pair of vivacious EMG active humbuckers, and you can expect blistering leads and crunchy riffs from your Schecter Damien Platinum 6 FR solidbody electric guitar.

Rock-solid construction with high-end appointments

When you pick up a Schecter Damien Platinum 6 FR guitar, you'll be amazed by all of the details and finishing touches that make this a truly value-packed instrument. The three-piece maple neck is incredibly rigid, resisting warping while enhancing sustain and tone. What's more, these details aren't just cosmetic. The Damien Platinum 6 FR is built to take any abuse you can throw at it, with a solid mahogany body and set-in neck are ready for your next gig, no matter how crazy it gets.

The perfect pair of EMGs

For liquid sustain and lava-hot leads, you just can't top the Damien Platinum 6 FR's tried-and-true combination of active EMG pickups. Possibly the most popular pickup in metal history, the EMG 81, will let your solo cut through and stand out in any situation. An EMG 85 in the neck completes the picture, giving you the edge you need for playing heavy rhythms and riffs.

Genuine Floyd Rose Special tailpiece

Schecter didn't give the Damien Platinum 6 FR just any old tremolo, they went for the real deal: a Floyd Rose Special. The Floyd Rose Special on the Damien Platinum 6 FR is an authentic Floyd Rose design, which gives you the same design as an original vintage Floyd Rose model, plus the advantage of lightweight zinc alloy components. You can dive-bomb, whammy, and flutter all night with this tremolo!

Top-tier tuning stability with Grover Rotomatic tuners

You'll find Grover Rotomatic tuners on board the Damien Platinum 6 FR, with an 18:1 gear ratio for ultra-precise tuning. Whether you're tuning standard or tuning down low, you'll find your pitch and hold it securely with these premium tuners.

Rated 5/5

New Schecter Fan

This is the first Schecter I've ever owned, and it definitely doesn't disappoint. The pickups are aggressive and very sensitive and the Floyd Rose special seems solid enough. I don't know if Sweetwater does setups, but it arrived perfectly tuned and with a crazy low easily playable action.

My only complaint is the fretboard is definitely pretty dried out and dull, but that just happens. Purely cosmetic and an easy fix next time I restring. The bat inlays are sick too, like an evil PRS.
Rated 5/5

Smooth

This guitar sounds and plays just as sinister as it looks. It doesn't matter which amp or pedal I running through it just defines METAL.
Rated 5/5

AMAZING GUITAR WITH FLAWLESS FINISH AND METAL PICKUPS

My guitar arrived in pristine condition, except the strings - they all broke when I opened it! No big deal, the guitar itself has zero blemishes, the lines are very clean, everything is extremely well made! It plays beautifully. This is a metal guitar though. The humbuckers are very highly charged, so if you want to play blues or jazz, you will def. want some different pick ups. Luckily, EMG offers a bunch of different active humbucker options.
Rated 5/5

Straight fire

This guitar is solid. My first schecter but definitely not my last. I feel like this thing will last forever.

Schecter Damien Plat 6

I was new to guitar about a year ago and bought this sweet AXE from Sweetwater not only for its reputation but its solid build and incredible sound. This guitar has yet to disappoint and stays in tune without fail. The staff at Sweetwater check up with me regularly and continue to do so to this day. This guitar is excellent for any "Metal Head" and is in my opinion a solid purchase with a naturally deep sound. I cant do it justice just yet but it makes me sound great regardless.
