Unleash Fury — at a Great Price!

Grab the Schecter Damien Platinum 6 FR-S solidbody electric guitar and prepare to rock! A fantastic guitar for a great price, the Damien Platinum 6 FR-S 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-S solidbody electric guitar.

Rock-solid construction with high-end appointments

When you pick up a Schecter Damien Platinum 6 FR-S guitar, you'll be amazed by all of the details and finishing touches that make this a truly value-packed instrument. The 3-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-S is built to take any abuse you can throw at it with a solid mahogany body and set-in neck. This guitar is ready for your next gig, no matter how crazy it gets.

Epic tone and sustain from EMG and Sustainiac pickups

For liquid sustain and lava-hot leads, you just can't top the Damien Platinum 6 FR-S's combination of active pickups. Possibly the most popular pickup in metal history, the EMG 81, will let your solo cut through and stand out in any situation. And the Sustainiac neck completes the picture, giving you exactly what you'd expect — epic sustain for days.

Genuine Floyd Rose Special tailpiece

Schecter didn't give the Damien Platinum 6 FR-S just any old tremolo, they went for the real deal: a Floyd Rose Special. The Floyd Rose Special on the Damien Platinum 6 FR-S 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 onboard the Damien Platinum 6 FR-S, 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.

Beast mode and a half!

I have owned roughly 15 guitars in the last several years including this for a cpl years now...i now own 3 electrics and this is probably the best machine per penny hands down!! Floyd Rose and sustainiac with an exceptional overall build quality and attention to detail. Really?!?! Amazing!! Easily worth double the sticker price if you compare to what's out there!! Happy camper here!! Get one while u can!!

Schecter Electric

3rd guitar i've ever owned and first Schecter. Love the guitar, feels really smooth to play and the neck being one piece with the body, the contours, really make the guitar nice to play. I bought it because of the sustain pickups and i really like the overall look of the guitar, looks really clean and the custom inlays are awesome. The only thing i would change about it might be the weight - it is one of the more weighty electric guitars I've ever played, but that can be nice in the context that when you're playing it, you're not going to accidentally get bumped out of place on the fretboard because the thing really stays in place because of the weight.
Rated 5/5

Super Satisfied

Absolutely incredible guitar for my playstyle. Sustainiac pickups make a really good clean sound and the EMG active pickups sound really good for metal music. Super fun and good feeling guitar, came in great condition. The bridge was level, action was good, and was even still in tune. The only downside was the 9V batteries were dead but luckily I had some new ones. Overall a fantastic guitar for playing at home!
Rated 5/5

Very happy with my order

I ordered this guitar and a hardshell case for it and I cannot be happier. I have had it for about a week now and the guitar plays wonderfully. It is exactlly what i was looking for and what pleased me the most is i ordered 2 day fed ex and recieved it in 24 hours. Sweetwater did not disappoint what so ever and i plan to be a returning customer.

Schecter Damien Diamond Series Platinum with Sustainiac

I have had Dozens of guitars and Even Custom Fano or Fender really can't beat it for the playability. Also for the Fully equipped guitar at under 1,000 can't get anything as good as this. It's loaded just the Sustainer and EMG Pickup is the price. Mahogany, Floyd Rose Chrome. Matte Black Smooth finish to fly and rosewood fretboard with Ebony Bat Inlays and 24 frets. All you need for any style anywhere anytime!!!
