Frequently asked questions
What's the main tonal difference between these two?
Both use identical dual Schecter Diamond Active HB-105S humbuckers and active electronics. The key difference is the Demon-7's longer 26.5" scale and lower B string produce tighter, more defined articulate lows, while the Demon-6 FR's 25.5" scale emphasizes midrange punch typical of 6-string metal.
Can I do drop tunings on the Demon-7?
Yes. The Demon-7's 26.5" scale and thicker strings suit extended drop tunings well. However, the Demon-6 FR with its Floyd Rose tremolo is specifically optimized for aggressive drop-tuning techniques like dive bombs that require a whammy bar.
Which is better for someone new to extended-range guitars?
The Demon-7 is designed for accessibility alongside sophistication, making it a natural entry point to 7-string playing. The neck profile, fretboard radius, and tuning hardware are tailored for that transition. The Demon-6 FR is a better choice if you're not ready to commit to learning a seventh string.
Why is the Demon-7's fretboard radius different (16" vs 14")?
The Demon-7's gentler 16" radius balances lead precision with chord comfort across seven strings, while the Demon-6 FR's tighter 14" radius prioritizes rapid-fire lead articulation on six strings. Both support their respective playing styles.
