Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference in string count and scale length?
The Demon-8 has 8 strings with a 28" scale designed for extended low-end clarity, while the Demon-6 FR is a traditional 6-string guitar with standard scaling and a Floyd Rose tremolo system instead of a hardtail.
Which guitar is better for left-handed players?
Only the Demon-6 FR is explicitly offered in left-handed configuration. The Demon-8 description does not mention a left-handed option.
How do the bridges affect tuning stability and playability?
The Demon-8 uses a hardtail bridge for maximum sustain and passive tuning stability. The Demon-6 FR uses a Floyd Rose Special tremolo, which provides expressive vibrato control but requires more active maintenance for tuning stability.
Are the pickups and electronics the same on both?
Yes, both guitars use dual Schecter Diamond Active HB-105S pickups with identical controls (volume, tone, 3-way selector) and 9-volt battery-powered active electronics for high output and articulate tone.
