Schecter built the Damien Platinum-6 LH as the left-handed variant of its Damien Platinum-6, positioning the model within the Damien Platinum series — a line that sat above the standard Damien range in terms of hardware and aesthetic appointments. The instrument was produced in South Korea and featured a set-neck construction with Ultra Access, pairing an arched-top mahogany body with a three-piece maple neck.
The neck carried a Thin 'C' profile measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth, topped with a rosewood fretboard running 24 X-Jumbo frets at a 14" radius. The 42mm Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut fed into a 25.5" scale. Tuning was handled by Grovers, while a Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through-body anchoring and satin chrome hardware finished the platform. Platinum Bat inlays and Silver/Platinum multi-ply binding defined the visual character. The pickup configuration comprised an EMG 81 at the bridge and an EMG 85 at the neck — both active, drawing from a clip-in 9-volt battery compartment — controlled via a volume knob, a tone knob, and a 3-way switch, all on metal knurled knobs with set screws. The instrument shipped strung with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky .010–.046.
Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the Tune-O-Matic bridge accepts standard metric or imperial TOM-specification saddles and posts depending on the installed variant; a qualified guitar technician can confirm the correct specification before ordering. The 2-way truss rod is adjusted with a 5/32" (4mm) Allen key at the nut end.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
