Monster guitar-in a good way
Ionases 13.07.2018
As others have noted this is the best 9 string you can get and has exactly the right scale length.. anything less than 30" and you might as well string that guitar with some heavy duty spaghetti! EMGs are obviously aiming at the metal market but I would say with some EQing you can pull off other passable sounds. This however is a rock machine through and through. Fantastic build quality and not as massive as you would think (especially if you have handled the odd 8 string guitar beforehand). The neck is beautiful and not a massive adjustment, especially if you are used to thin (depthwise!) neck profiles. Likewise if you have ever played a 8 string guitar or a 6 string bass, this will be no challenge at all (and I do not have gorilla sized hands before you ask). If you are looking to go to this scale, short of spending custom-guitar level money, this is by far your best choice

Tightest sounding 9-string on the market
ThomasUV777 18.03.2018
I needed a great studio guitar able to handle all kinds of tunings, from a tight C# to a standard high E. This was the perfect purchase. This Schecter Damien 9 is the longest 9-string scale available and I wouldn't recommend going any lower than 30" for that tight low end. These strings have proper tension which is essential if you don't want to sound like a detached electrical cable. There's no flaws in the finish or setup. It was ready to play out of the box and the matte finish is very nice.

The negatives? With the EMG's, you'll be very limited in your sound. This is a metal machine, so don't expect to get a great funk playing- or sounding experience. The neck width and scale length don't lend themselves very well to other genres than metal. But that's not what I bought it for either way.

All in all, well worth the price for this extraordinary guitar. Just don't expect to easily go beyond metal with this guitar.

Absolut fantastisches Metal-Monster!
Karsten G 18.10.2022
Hallo zusammen,

das Teil ist ein absolutes Metal-Monster!

Verarbeitung:
Die Verarbeitung ist gut. Fast perfekt. Mechaniken und Bridge sowie Potis und Elektronik sind einwandfrei verarbeitet. Der Lack ist ebenfalls tadellos. Lediglich das Binding ist an manchen Stellen nicht ganz so gut geworden. Das fällt aber auch wirklich nur bei genauerem Hinsehen auf.

Sound:
Ok. Also. Der Sound der 909er EMGs ist natürlich stark Geschmacksache. Ich persönlich mag den Sound aber sehr. Der Bridge Tonabnehmer ist super klar und selbst die tiefsten Töne klingen nicht matschig, Der Neck Tonabnehmer bietet hingegen schön warme Sounds und ist perfekt für Clean Parts und Soloeinlagen.

Features:
Eines sollte euch beim Kauf dieser Gitarre klar sein. Das Teil hat mit seiner 30er Mensur einen verdammt langen Hals und ist ziemlich schwer. Die Mensur sorgt natürlich dafür, dass man die Gitarre wunderbar tief stimmen kann (ich spiele aktuell BEBEADGBE, stimme die tiefste Saite aber auch gerne mal runter auf A, was absolut absurd ist :D).

Der Hals ist trotz seiner Länge angenehm zu spielen. Auch die tiefen Saiten sind gut zu erreichen. Das Neckprofil ist angenehm schlank.

Kleiner Hinweis noch: Es gibt keinen wirklich passenden Satz Saiten für dieses Monster. Ihr müsst also kreativ werden und verschiedene Saitensätze mit Einzelsaiten kombinieren oder euch einen Custom Satz Saiten anfertigen lassen, so wie ich es tue.

Fazit:
Ich kann diese Gitarre allen experimentierfreudigen Metal-Gitarristen empfehlen. Ist auf jeden Fall eine sehr spaßige Angelegenheit!
