Schecter Demon-6 FR Electric Guitar Aged Black Satin
Description
Schecter Demon-6 FR Electric Guitar Aged Black Satin
The Demon-6 FR is built for players who need speed and stability on stage. Its thin 'C' maple neck and 24 X-Jumbo frets across a 25.5" scale length keep your hand moving freely through fast passages and wide intervals. The arched basswood body balances comfortably and cuts through live mix with authority, while the Floyd Rose Special Hot Rod tremolo system locks your pitch solid during aggressive techniques—no hunting for tuning between songs. Aged black satin finish with grey pearloid gothic cross inlays delivers confident visual presence under stage lights.
Playability & Build
The thin 'C' neck profile tapers from .787" at the first fret to .866" at the 12th fret, letting you shift positions fast and access high frets without fighting the instrument. A wenge fretboard with 14" radius keeps articulation crisp whether you're hitting single notes or full chords, and the 2-way adjustable truss rod via 5/32" Allen nut lets you dial in your preferred neck relief quickly. Black chrome hardware and bolt-on construction keep the guitar around 9 lbs—light enough to sit comfortably during long sets, stable enough to handle the rigors of gigging.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Schecter Diamond Active HB-105S humbuckers deliver aggressive, articulate tone with the output and clarity active electronics bring to the table, running off a 9-volt clip-in battery in the compartment. The Floyd Rose Special nut at 1.625" width anchors your intonation precisely across the tremolo range, while volume, tone, and 3-way pickup switching give you straightforward control of your sound without excess complexity.
