Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for standard tuning and traditional hard rock?
The Demon-6 LH suits standard tuning and rock better due to its Tune-O-Matic bridge and active pickups, which lock intonation without tremolo complexity. The Damien-6 FR's Floyd Rose excels at tuning instability from extreme bends and dive-bombs, making it better suited to drop tunings and djent.
Do either pickups need a battery?
The Demon-6 LH uses active HB-105S pickups powered by a 9-volt battery; players must replace it periodically. The Damien-6 FR uses passive Heretic humbuckers and needs no battery, eliminating one maintenance concern.
Which body wood sounds warmer?
Mahogany in the Damien-6 FR produces denser, warmer low-end response typical of metal instruments. Basswood in the Demon-6 LH is lighter and more neutral, suiting versatile studio and rock tones.
Can a right-handed player use the Demon-6 LH?
No; the Demon-6 LH is a purpose-built left-handed instrument with the nut, bridge, tuning pegs, and body contour oriented for left-hand playing. Right-handed players must choose the Damien-6 FR or a right-handed Demon-6 variant.
