Schecter Guitar Research

A hot guitar with great playability, EMG Active pickups, and a string-thru bridge.

The Schecter Damien Elite electric guitar has a gorgeous quilted maple top, a double-cutaway mahogany body, bolt-on maple neck, and a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard. The TonePros bridge system includes a Tune-O-Matic style bridge with thru-body string mounts for stability and sustain. The Schecter Damien Elite is loaded with the classic combination of an EMG-81 active humbucker in the bridge position and an EMG-85 active humbucker in the neck position for all the great heavy rock tones you need. Appointments include stained cross inlays, multi-ply fretboard and body binding, and black chrome hardware.

Damien Elite See Through Black

It's great to be pleasantly surprised when you open a package and what you ordered is way more than you expected. Not really that surprised because a friend had just bought an immaculate C1 Hellraiser from a pawn shop so I new the quality and perfection of his guitar. I took a gamble and dropped down one notch and bought the Damien. I have a few very high end electrics and the Damien outshines them all, for $500. It's almost a joke. The neck is perfect, the fretboard and inlays are perfect. The build is the best I've seen, the balance is perfect, and it's also gorgeous with a polyester resin clearcoat (Schecter's website), the same finish that Taylor uses on their guitars. Oh, the EMG 81/85 Active Pickups setup are the best that I've ever played. I love fast necks and this one is lightening fast with very low action. Thanks.

I really liked this guitar since the first time i saw it (I got the MBK style). When I played it, I realized it was the best buy I could have done, a great tone and quality of sound I had been looking for. The inlays are so nice, it's a guitar so light you won't never get tired for play with it.  I'm convinced that was my best choice to buy.

Elite Doesn't Begin To Describe

There are isnt much i can find wrong out with this guitar. Very lightweight. its a very solid feeling machine even with the weight. the only greivance i have is it is bolt on neck but the neck joint is actually angled so my hand fits on it perfectly. the reach is amazing going all the way to the 24th is easier than taking the thing out of the box. this is the most amazing deal on a 81/85 guitar with mahagony and Quilted Maple.

The maple top is a little lack luster compared to other schecter tops but it still looks great.

This guitar is beautifully crafted. The only problem is that all my friends and band mates are jealous. Playing, I realized it sounded a lot like my Epiphone SG-G400, then I put Ernie Ball power slinkies on it and it sung like a goddess. No matter what you play, this guitar will do what you want it to. This guitar is definitely worth the money. Buy one!
