Frequently asked questions
What's the main tuning and range difference?
The Demon-6 FR is a standard 6-string guitar tuned E-E, while the Demon-7 adds a low B string for extended-range tuning flexibility common in modern metal and djent. The 7's longer 26.5" scale better supports the lower tension and articulation of that extra string.
Why does the Demon-7 have a wider nut?
The Demon-7's Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut is 1.889" wide versus the 6 FR's 1.625" to accommodate seven strings with proper spacing and prevent buzzing or intonation issues across the extended fretboard width.
Which is better for drop tunings and low-end clarity?
The Demon-7's longer 26.5" scale and extra string are purpose-built for drop tunings and lower registers. The Demon-6 FR's 25.5" scale and tremolo suit standard tuning with effects; if you want a 6-string drop-tuned, the 7 will give tighter low-end articulation.
Can both handle the same genres?
Both excel in metal, djent, and progressive styles. The 6 FR's tremolo adds pitch-bending versatility; the 7's extended range is nearly essential for modern djent. If you play traditional metal without extended tunings, either works, but the 7 is built specifically for lower registers.
