Frequently asked questions
Who is the C-8 Deluxe LH designed for?
Left-handed players who need extended-range capability. The 8-string configuration and 28-inch scale length are specifically built for progressive metal and djent styles that use extreme drop tunings.
What is the main tonal difference between active and passive pickups in these models?
The Demon-6's active Diamond HB-105S humbuckers deliver punchy, compressed articulation with controlled output powered by a 9-volt battery. The C-8's passive Diamond Plus pickups offer more natural dynamics and require no battery, with tone shaped via independent controls and a 3-way switch.
Does the Demon-6 work for drop tunings?
Yes, the 25.5-inch scale and solid construction handle drop tunings well, though it is not optimized for extreme drops. The C-8's longer 28-inch scale is better suited for very low tunings common in progressive metal.
Which has faster playability?
Both feature thin C-profile necks at 0.787 inches at the first fret and 24-fret boards designed for speed. The Demon-6 uses extra-jumbo frets and a 14-inch radius, while the C-8 uses narrow X-jumbo frets and a 16-inch radius; both support fast playing, just with slightly different feel.
