Description
Sound & Tone
The dual Schecter Diamond Active HB-105S humbuckers push a punchy midrange and cutting high end, with the active circuit adding output and headroom that keeps chugging rhythms tight and lead lines clear. A basswood body with bolt-on maple neck and 24.75" scale gives a slightly warm, focused voice with easy string bend, while the Tune-O-Matic bridge and string-thru body support sustain and note definition. It's aimed squarely at rock, hard rock and metal, and the 24-fret wenge board with thin 'C' neck makes fast technical soloing and upper-register work straightforward.
Schecter Demon S-II Electric Guitar in Satin Black
The Demon S-II captures articulate, punchy tones that cut cleanly through dense mixes and sit well in layered arrangements. Its thin 'C' maple neck and 24-fret wenge fretboard enable extended tracking sessions and intricate overdub work, while the dual Schecter Diamond Active HB-105S pickups deliver responsive midrange definition and crisp high-end presence ideal for rock, metal, and hard rock production. The satin black finish offers a practical, no-fuss aesthetic suited to working studio environments.
Playability & Comfort
The thin 'C' shaped maple neck measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th fret, supporting fatigue-free tracking and clean, repeatable takes during long studio sessions. A 24-fret X-Jumbo fretboard with 14" radius and grey pearloid gothic cross inlays sits on a wenge board, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.653" width) ensures stable tuning retention and articulate note definition across all registers.
Recording Tone & Signal Path
Two Schecter Diamond Active HB-105S humbuckers—bridge and neck positions—generate punchy, well-defined tones with extended dynamic range, powered by a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment. A straightforward Volume/Tone/3-Way Switch control layout keeps mix adjustments and tonal shaping accessible during takes, while the Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru body design and black chrome hardware maximize sustain and tonal consistency for polished recorded results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does open-box mean, and is this guitar actually new?
Open-box means the Demon S-II was unboxed, inspected, and fully set up by our techs; it is otherwise new and unplayed, shipped in original packaging with all factory accessories. It is backed by our 30-day money-back return policy, including any problem on arrival, and carries the reduced open-box price.
Is the Demon S-II good for metal and hard rock?
Yes—the dual active humbuckers, tight sustain from the Tune-O-Matic bridge, and cutting clarity are designed specifically for metal, hard rock, and rock contexts where articulation and punch through a dense mix are essential. The thin neck and 24 frets also support fast technical passages.
What is the neck profile, and will it fit my hand?
The Demon S-II has a thin 'C' profile maple neck measuring 0.787 inches at the first fret and 0.866 inches at the 12th fret, with a 14-inch radius 24-fret wenge fretboard and 24.75-inch scale. This profile is designed for fast playing and is popular with intermediate to advanced players; if you have played thin-profile guitars like Ibanez RG or ESP LTD models, you will feel at home.
How do the active pickups work, and what do I need to maintain them?
The two Schecter Diamond Active HB-105S humbuckers are powered by a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment; you will need to replace the 9V battery periodically depending on use. The battery powers the preamp inside each pickup for punchy, extended dynamic range and low noise.
How does the Demon S-II compare to the Omen-6 or ESP LTD Viper-406?
The Demon S-II distinguishes itself with its thin 'C' neck profile, dual active humbuckers, and Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru body for maximum sustain and clarity. The Omen-6 is a solid entry-level option with passive pickups, while the ESP LTD Viper-406 is passive and slightly heavier; the Demon S-II sits in the middle in terms of price and is optimized for speed and articulation.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $37 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
