Frequently asked questions
What is the main structural difference between these two guitars?
The Demon-6 uses a set neck construction, while the Demon S-II features a bolt-on neck. Set necks typically provide greater sustain and tonal coherence, while bolt-on necks offer easier neck access for repairs and adjustments.
How do the finishes differ and what does that mean for long-term use?
The Demon-6's aged black satin finish is designed to develop patina and character with use over time. The Demon S-II's standard satin black finish maintains a consistent, practical appearance that doesn't show wear as visibly, suiting working musicians who prefer a uniform look.
Are there tonal differences between these models?
Both guitars use identical Schecter Diamond Active HB-105S pickups and Tune-O-Matic bridges. The Demon-6's set neck and arched basswood top may contribute slightly warmer, more resonant sustain, while the Demon S-II's bolt-on construction and flat top deliver direct, punchy articulation. Differences are subtle and both excel at metal and hard rock.
Which is better for someone new to intermediate-level playing?
Both guitars are rated for intermediate to professional skill levels. The Demon-6's slightly thicker neck at the 1st fret and set-neck stability may feel marginally more forgiving for developing technique, while the Demon S-II's simpler bolt-on design offers practical advantages if future adjustments are needed.
