Schecter Damien Special Electric Guitar - Crimson Red Reviews
| 12 of 13 people found the following review helpful  Awesome quality, good looks and killer price, By Mike Miller (Ewing, NJ United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Schecter Damien Special Electric Guitar - Crimson Red (Electronics) The quality on this guitar is beautiful. Period. The quilted maple top and black/white binding are stunning, and even the grain and finish on the mahogany back and sides is tight and attractive. My specimin arrived with a near-perfect setup - low action and just a hint of relief in the one piece unfinished neck. The fret ends are perfectly finished and there are no sharp edges anywhere. The hardware feels top-notch and the EMG pickups produce a clean ringing sustain that suits a wide variety of music styles. Even the strings that came on the guitar (Ernie Ball Premium) are fresh and good quality. New guitars in this price range often come with cheap strings that turn your fingertips black, and this was not an issue even after an hour of playing.The flame inlay on the neck might make a difference to some buyers. While I really like it, it's not exactly conservative. The inlay on mine is a dark/medium gray that looks more like smoke than flames. I'm pretty sure it's 'Mother...

I jumped at the chance to pick this up for $240. The emg 81/85 combo is a very nice setup (i'm a fan of active pickups) and currently own a ESP viper with 81/85's. This is my first Schecter guitar and it plays and feels very comfortable, not awkward in any aspect. It is a very dark red, pictures don't do it justice. The neck is the perfect thickness, one of the more versatile for the styles of music I play (classic rock, progressive, metal). My Gibson Explorer now feels like the chubby ex-girlfriend after playing this for a couple hours. For the price you would have been hard pressed to find anything better. I honestly like to try all my guitars before I buy but I ended up taking a gamble thanks to Amazon's amazing price. Very satisfied with this guitar. 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful Wow..., By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Schecter Damien Special Electric Guitar - Crimson Red (Electronics) Like the others have said, this is an amazing deal (thanks Amazon).It appears to be a 1-off guitar from Schecter, very close to their Damien Elite-6 model, but with a special inlay in the neck. The pickups are great, the overal fit & finish is top notch. Mine has a little buzz but just needs a little relief in the neck. If you've never tried the EMG 85/81, get this and enjoy! |
