Frequently asked questions
What's the practical difference between 8-string and 7-string for metal?
The 8-string adds one extra lower string for deeper, heavier tunings common in djent and progressive metal. The 7-string remains the standard for hard rock and traditional extended-range metal. The choice depends on whether your music requires that additional low string.
How do the scale lengths affect tone and playability?
The Demon-8's 28" scale produces tighter low-end articulation across eight strings, while the Demon-7 LH's 26.5" scale balances string tension on seven strings and feels faster under the fingers. Longer scales generally yield clearer extended-range definition; shorter scales improve playability comfort.
Are both guitars equally suitable for right-handed vs. left-handed players?
The Demon-7 LH is purpose-built for left-handed players with proper ergonomics. The Demon-8 specification provided is right-handed only, so left-handed players must choose the Demon-7 LH or seek alternative models.
Which guitar has better tone for aggressive high-gain applications?
Both feature identical Schecter Diamond Active HB-105S pickups and deliver aggressive, articulate output. The Demon-8's extended range and tighter low end suit extreme metal frequencies, while the Demon-7 LH's punchy tone excels in modern metal. Tone preference depends on tuning style rather than fundamental pickup character.
