Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

Schecter's Damien Special FR is fairly good guitar. Not a brilliant one, but Damien Special FR will serve you until you decide it's time to go for a bit more expensive guitar. You will not go wrong if you go ahead with Damien Special FR.

Schecter didn't go over the top with a set of features that make the Damien Special FR what it is: a guitar that will do the job, but won't thrill you with its limited features. However, it won't let you down if you feel you can get along with what's provided. You can try and search for better solutions, but still, Schecter's Damien Special FR will deliver what you need in most situations.

Tone delivered by Schecter's Damien Special FR makes it a serious sounding instrument that gives Schecter a lot of reasons to be proud of it. Somewhat limited when playing certain music styles doesn't mean that Damien Special FR will make your tone to sound poor, quite the opposite, because Damien Special FR provides rich and versatile tone that you'll be happy with.

A bit more care and time would make this instrument a class better, but Schecter's Damien Special FR doesn't look bad, nor does play badly. It stays in tune reasonably well, and can provide a not-too-demanding musician some good experience. Was it the price, or some other factor, but it feels that the hardware could have been done better; nevertheless, Damien Special FR is after all a good guitar which is not too hard to handle and set up.

This guitar will hold on really well as it is built well. Not to be battered as it is not the ultimate gigging tool; still, Damien Special FR will perform OK in most live situations. You might feel that it will let you down in you hour of need, but in reality this guitar will do just well. Should you feel unconfident, have a backup guitar ready and you'll have no worries with Schecter's Damien Special FR.
