Frequently asked questions
Can I use either guitar for jazz or blues?
Neither is ideally voiced for jazz or blues. The Omen Elite-6 FR's warm tone is slightly more adaptable to those genres than the Demon-7 LH, which is voiced specifically for aggressive metal and modern high-gain applications.
What is the main difference between the pickups?
The Omen Elite-6 FR uses passive Schecter Diamond Heretic pickups that deliver versatile, warm output. The Demon-7 LH uses active Schecter Diamond HB-105S humbuckers powered by a 9-volt battery, which provide more aggressive, articulate tone with higher output and consistent signal strength during live performance.
Which scale length is better?
The Omen Elite-6 FR's 25.5" scale is the standard for 6-string guitars and feels familiar to most players. The Demon-7 LH's 26.5" scale is longer to accommodate the seventh string and ensure proper B-string tension, making it ideal for tuning the low B and extended-range techniques.
Is one guitar significantly heavier than the other?
Both use mahogany bodies, but the product descriptions do not provide specific weight comparisons. The Omen Elite-6 FR mentions balanced weight distribution for comfort during long sessions, while the Demon-7 LH emphasizes its fast, responsive feel without detailing relative weight.
