Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is easier to maintain and keep in tune?
The PT Pro's hardtail bridge with stainless steel saddles and locking tuners is simpler to maintain and requires no tremolo spring adjustments. The Demon-6 FR-S demands more setup knowledge due to the Floyd Rose system, but rewards that effort with unmatched tremolo stability.
What's the practical difference in pickup character?
The Demon-6 FR-S uses active pickups (Diamond Active bridge and Sustainiac neck) for maximum output, articulation, and infinite sustain decay. The PT Pro uses passive USA Z-Plus humbuckers with coil-splitting, offering a more traditional articulate-to-warm voicing range without requiring battery changes.
Why is the PT Pro listed as B-stock, and does it affect playability?
The PT Pro is B-stock due to a cosmetic fretboard crack that does not affect playability or tone. It carries full manufacturer warranty and represents genuine savings compared to new stock.
How do fret counts and scales compare?
The Demon-6 FR-S has 24 jumbo frets versus the PT Pro's 22 X-Jumbo frets. Both use 25.5-inch scale length; the extra two frets on the Demon-6 extend upper-range access for lead work.
