Meet Your New Favorite Axe

For fans of horror films from the late '70s and '80s, you're more than familiar with the name Damien. And like its fictional namesake, the Schecter Damien sows sweet sonic chaos and comes out smiling each time. This solidbody electric guitar is powered by a pair of Schecter Heretic humbucking pickups that create flaming hot tones for rock and metal. The satin-finished mahogany body is incredibly comfortable to play, thanks to deep cutaways, contoured body shape, and thin maple neck. But most of all, the Damien looks every bit as evil as it sounds, thanks to blacked-out hardware and custom Bat fingerboard inlays. If you're ready to take the plunge, the Schecter Damien will give you a playing experience that's hard to put into words.

Schecter Heretic pickups unleash a demonic tone

Much like an omen, you'll know a Damien when you hear one. This solidbody axe is powered by a pair of Schecter's Heretic humbuckers that give it a hot, almost demonic tone. Crank the gain, and your riffs will smash into your amp with a punishing fury. And when it comes time to rip a solo, the burning hot highs cut through the mix with ease. Here at Sweetwater, we like to think of ourselves as heroes who fight darkness, but there's just something about Damien's tone that lures us to the dark side.

Durable construction withstands tons of use and abuse

Sometimes, onstage antics can get a little out of hand. Thankfully, the Schecter Damien is built to whether almost anything you throw at it. The mahogany body feels lightweight and resonant, which you'll love when performing long sets. You get blacked-out hardware with rock-solid tuning machines, so you spend less time tuning and more time rocking. Take it from us, the longer you spend playing the Schecter Damien, the more tricks you'll find hiding up its sleeves.

Thin neck profile facilitates fluid playing

Schecter carved Damien's neck into a Thin "C" pattern to help you play to your full potential. It's thin enough to stay out of your way but leaves just enough wood in your hand to feel reliable and responsive. A rosewood fingerboard and 24 Dunlop nickel/silver frets play smoothly under your fingers. And once your fingers start dancing up and down the fingerboard, you'll see what we mean.

Schecter Damien-6 Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • Mahogany body provides a balanced tonal foundation and boatloads of resonance
  • Schecter Heretic pickups produce punishing lows and screaming highs
  • Maple neck with a Thin "C" profile facilitate effortless playing
  • Bat fingerboard inlays add a sinister vibe
  • Black hardware ties the design together

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Rated 5/5

Beautiful Guitar and Tone

Love the sound of the heretic pickups. They are versatile for classic rock tones and clean up nicely. Can produce a balsy deep end aa well, though not a metal chug.
Rated 3/5

Not For Me

The guitar looks like a million bucks.
The tuners suck. They don't move very well.
Daughter's $199 Epi SG has nicer tuners on it.
The tone or sound out of it is very thin for a humbucker pickup. Just lacks that nice heavy low end tone. It's a nice guitar as far as playing it.
Easy to get to and stuff. Just not me for the tone.
