Schecter Damien-7 SBK Electric Guitar - Satin Black Reviews
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 7-string 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.

This is a great choice
Great quality control from Schecter and Sweetwater, I didn't find any problems with the build quality. I only needed to make small changes to the string lengths and truss rod to get it where I wanted it.
The guitar looks just as good, if not better, from the player's POV; the satin black neck and the headstock with black hardware makes my heart quicken every time I pick it up. The build quality really shines with the satin finish as well. This guitar feels very sleek; my sweaty hands still slide across the neck easily.
The pearloid bat inlays are a bit darker than online images might lead you to believe; they don't reflect a ton in normal lighting so they look a bit more gray than white, which goes well the overall aesthetic in my opinion.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the tone pot on this model is actually a push/pull coil-split, which is not specified on this Sweetwater page at time of writing.
Overall I am incredibly happy with my purchase, I highly recommend getting this guitar.
Good quality, above its paygrade
Feels more expensive than it is. Plays very well, great tone. Only problem I've noticed is a bit of neck dive. Everything else is great. Surprisingly lightweight, neck is fast playing and smooth. Tunings hold well too. Definitely recommend as an intermediate guitar.
Chunky
