Schecter Damien 7 vs Omen 7 extreme

Petar · 10-05-2006, 09:14 PM

Ok, so to cut to te chase..

*both bolt on

*both basswood..

*Damien 26,5vs 25,5 Omen scale..not of the greatest importance, but i would prefere standard 25,5 lenght, cause i should stay in reg tuning..

*inlays & binding - both are nice, Damians bats are nicer, but again, it doesnty have the binding..

*EMG hz-s vs Schecter alnico PUs..again..not so important..i have red that in Hz cavities fit other EMGs..and Schecter passives fit standard passive pickups (Dimarzios, for example)..i guess both of these stocks are mediocrety..so, again, not important..

So far, they are pretty much equal..

BUT..
*THE MOST IMPORTANT PART- STAYING IN TUNE FUNCIONALITY!!! i need help in here..!!!
Damian has the Grover tuners, while Omen has the Schecter ones..
I guess the Grovers are better..?(i mean, the Damian is more expensive..)
Are the Schecter tuners any good..? Are they (and tuners generally) interchangable without mods?
I do a solo work A LOT..so that i need something that can withstand strong vibrato and stuff..
So, SS guys, help me please..!

My omen is a 26.5 scale and has Grover tuners. Duncan designed pickups.
over all a solid guitar for the price. Just needs a little setup and you have yourself a good guitar. I guess the only real diff. is the pickups. and of course cosmetic stuff (paint and inlay). And whats the price diff.? $50.00 bucks.

From what I have learned recently. The nut has more to do with a guitar staying in tune not the tuners.

Petar · 10-06-2006, 06:01 AM

Thanx for the reps..
Nut..hm..i guess it is replacable..but, is it complicated..?
Considering cosmetical differences, the Omen is Omen extreme, so it has vector inlay, binding arround neck, body, and headstock, so, it is also very nice looking..
Still looking for opinions

I have just red that Omen 7 extreme is made in china..and Damien in Corea..
From what i know, corea should be much better quallity than china, but maybe not the case..i dunno..

I thought it was a reasonable statement. And what does the color red have to do with something being stupid?

Why waste your money on two cheap guitars when you can get a much better one for the same money.
