Frequently asked questions
What is the key difference in string count and scale length between these guitars?
The Demon-8 offers 8 strings with a 28" scale for deeper extended-range applications, while the Demon-7 LH has 7 strings with a 26.5" scale. The longer scale on the 8-string provides better low-end articulation; the shorter scale on the 7-string creates tighter string tension and a punchier response.
Which guitar should I choose if I play left-handed?
The Demon-7 LH is specifically built as a left-handed instrument. The Demon-8 is not listed in a left-handed configuration, so if you are left-handed, the Demon-7 LH is your only option.
Are the pickups and electronics the same on both models?
Both guitars use identical Schecter Diamond Active HB-105S humbuckers with 9-volt battery-powered active electronics and straightforward volume/tone/3-way switch controls. The tonal character difference comes from scale length and string count rather than electronics.
Which guitar is better for djent and progressive metal?
The Demon-8 is explicitly listed for djent and progressive play thanks to its 8-string configuration and 28" scale, which provide the extended low-end clarity that style demands. The Demon-7 LH suits progressive and metal but with a tighter, more aggressive character on 7 strings.
