Frequently asked questions
What's the main hardware difference between these two guitars?
The Damien-6 FR features a Floyd Rose Special Hot Rod locking tremolo for tuning stability during extreme bends and divebombs. The Demon-6 LH uses a Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru-body design, which locks in precise intonation without tremolo functionality. The choice depends on whether you need tremolo effects or prefer a fixed bridge.
How do the pickups differ?
The Damien-6 FR uses passive Schecter Diamond Heretic humbuckers with Alnico V and Ceramic 8 magnets, delivering articulate high-output tones. The Demon-6 LH uses active Schecter Diamond HB-105S pickups powered by a 9V battery, offering enhanced clarity, output consistency, and noise rejection across dynamic playing styles.
Can a right-handed player use the Demon-6 LH?
No. The Demon-6 LH is expressly configured for left-handed players with the headstock, neck, and body orientation reversed. It is not a right-handed guitar and would be unplayable for right-handed players without professional conversion.
Which guitar is better for studio recording?
The Demon-6 LH is explicitly listed as suitable for studio sessions and offers active pickups that provide consistent output and noise rejection—ideal for recording. The Damien-6 FR excels in high-gain metal and hard rock but prioritizes live performance and extended tremolo effects over studio versatility.
