Description

Schecter positioned the Damien Platinum-6 FR S LH as a left-handed, feature-laden instrument within the Damien Platinum series, built in South Korea. The set-neck construction with Ultra Access joined a mahogany body finished with a Silver/Platinum multi-ply binding and an arched top, while the three-piece maple neck carried a rosewood fretboard dressed with Platinum Bat inlays.

The 25.5" scale neck profiles to a Thin 'C' shape, measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth, with 24 X-Jumbo frets over a 14" radius board. A Floyd Rose Special sits at both ends — as the locking nut and as the bridge — with Grover tuners completing the headstock. Hardware throughout is finished in Satin Chrome. Electronics are the defining feature of this model: an EMG 81 humbucker occupies the bridge position while the neck position holds a Sustainiac pickup system, powered by a double 9-volt clip-in battery compartment. The control layout reflects this — a standard Volume/Tone/3-way pickup switch is joined by a 2-way Sustainiac on/off switch and a 3-way Sustainiac mode switch covering Fundamental, Mix, and Harmonic modes. Metal knurled knobs with set screws are fitted throughout.

Owners sourcing replacement or compatible components — particularly Floyd Rose Special parts, EMG 81 mounting hardware, or Sustainiac system components — should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with active electronics and locking tremolo systems.

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.

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.

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.
