Schecter does not disappoint. Not only does this guitar look impressive, it feels and sounds great. The quality is apparent when you're playing this thing, and it's surprisingly light weight. Seriously, for a guitar that's well under $1,000 it's amazing. It feels so easy to play, the two knobs are super smooth, great little 3-way switch feels solid, great tuners, EMG's, the vintage black finish is wicked yet elegant and the silver bats make it look extra evil. I'm a Black Metal guy so this guitar was right up my alley. Overall, it's a superb guitar for a very affordable price. I've owned an EC1000 which is a $1,000 guitar and this Damien Platinum is damn near just as good, I wont lie, the EC1000 felt a little bit more premium but not that much, factor in the aesthetics of Schecter guitars over that Les Paul design and it's pretty much even. Lastly, I've owned the 7 string version in the past and ever since selling it I vowed to get the 6 string version and here I am, love it.
