Schecter Danskimo-6 LH

Schecter Danskimo-6 LH review

The Schecter Danskimo-6 LH is a left-handed signature guitar for Daniel Haniß of Electric Callboy. Its purple sparkle finish, wenge neck, ebony fingerboard, and Evertune bridge point toward a modern instrument built for regular stage use. The listed price is 1999. Schecter has offered the model since January 2025, and the supplied item number is 596057.

Its ST-style body is made from swamp ash, with a bolt-on wenge neck and a C-shaped profile. The 648 mm scale, also listed as 25.5 inches, will feel familiar to many players used to a standard electric guitar. The fingerboard carries 24 extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets, while the nut width is 42 mm. Schecter lists the finish as purple; the detailed specification describes it as purple sparkle. Black hardware completes the contrasting look.

Build and playing feel

One owner describes the guitar as comfortable and well finished, with an ergonomic body and a neck that falls between especially thin and unusually chunky. They report clean fretwork, a good fit between parts, and a guitar that plays well. Those are useful impressions, but they reflect one instrument rather than a guarantee that every example will arrive in the same condition.

The same owner found the guitar stable in tune and praised its hardware and overall feel. That matches the practical appeal of the Evertune bridge, which is designed to maintain tuning stability while allowing adjustment at the bridge. The model has no conventional tremolo system. Hipshot Grip-Lock tuning machines are fitted, and the supplied strings are Ernie Ball Regular Slinky.010 to.046.

The review account also describes the body as sleek and says the instrument renewed the owner's interest in playing. That is subjective, but it gives a sense of the model's appeal beyond its specification sheet: a distinctive finish, a familiar scale, and hardware chosen for dependable tuning.

Pickup and controls

The detailed specification names one Fishman Fluence Tosin Abasi humbucker in the bridge position. The volume control has a push-pull function for selecting different pickup voicings. This gives the player access to alternate sounds without adding a separate selector to the listed control layout.

There is a discrepancy in the supplied product information: a general field describes the pickup system as HH, while the detailed specification identifies only the bridge humbucker. Buyers should confirm the pickup configuration with the retailer before ordering, especially if they expect a neck pickup. The available information does not establish what the HH entry refers to.

Setup concerns and ownership details

The owner report raises two specific quality-control concerns. On that guitar, the nut was reportedly seated poorly, and the A and D strings sat too close together while the low E was positioned farther away. The A string could slip out of place during bends. The owner replaced the nut after waiting about three weeks for a left-handed part to be ordered, then found the guitar played properly.

That same instrument had a loose 9-volt battery inside its compartment. The owner says the battery contacts broke during removal and had to be replaced by soldering in new contacts. These are serious faults to find on a guitar at this price, though they should be treated as one customer's experience, not evidence that every Danskimo-6 LH has the same problems. Inspect the nut and battery connection at delivery, and contact the retailer promptly if either needs attention.

What is included, and who should consider it?

The supplied specifications state that neither a case nor a gig bag is included. That is a notable extra cost to plan for on a guitar listed at 1999. The owner also objected to the lack of a case, particularly given the instrument's price. Confirm the retailer's current package contents before purchase, since listings and bundles can vary.

The Schecter Danskimo-6 LH makes sense for left-handed players looking for a signature instrument with a 25.5-inch scale, stainless-steel frets, a locking tuner system, and an Evertune bridge. The Fishman voicing control adds tonal flexibility, while the purple sparkle finish gives it a clear visual identity. Its strengths are supported by an enthusiastic owner report, but that report also documents setup and battery-compartment issues that deserve a careful inspection. Factor in the cost of a protective case, and verify the pickup layout before placing an order.
