Schecter Demon S-II Electric Guitar in Satin Black
The Demon S-II combines a comfortable, fast neck with a responsive, articulate tone that cuts through in any mix. Its thin 'C' maple neck and 24-fret wenge fretboard enable effortless technical passages and extended playing sessions, while the dual Schecter Diamond Active HB-105S pickups deliver punchy midrange and cutting highs suited to rock, metal, and hard rock applications. The satin black finish maintains a practical, lived-in aesthetic that reflects the priorities of serious working musicians.
Playability & Feel
The thin 'C' shaped maple neck measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th fret, providing a fast, comfortable platform for both rhythm and lead work. 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 and clean articulation across all registers.
Tone & Electronics
Two Schecter Diamond Active HB-105S humbuckers—one at the bridge, one at the neck—generate punchy, articulate tones with extended dynamic range, powered by a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment.
