Schecter Guitar Research

collapse expand iconDescription

The Schecter Guitar Research Demon-6 FR is a solidbody electric guitar that provides modern and vintage-inspired tones for players of all levels. The Satin Aged Black finish and elegant appointments give this instrument a sophisticated look that belies its accessible price. The Demon-6 FR is a high-value ax for gigging musicians and hobbyists alike.

Schecter Diamond Pickups Produce Aggressive and Classic Tones

The Demon-6 FR is equipped with a pair of Schecter Diamond humbuckers. The Diamond is a solid alternative to many high-output pickups that deliver tight, high-gain distortion perfect for metal and hard rock. In the neck position, it produces a warmer, more rounded tone for lead lines and chords. A three-way toggle selector provides a variety of tonal combinations from these pickups, allowing everything from all-out distortion to glassy cleans.

Floyd Rose Special Tremolo System Enables Expressive Pitch Bends

The Demon-6 FR features a Floyd Rose Hot Rod Special tremolo system that provides players with a wide range of pitch bending effects. This double-locking tremolo system uses a pivot point to raise and lower the pitch of all six strings simultaneously while keeping them in tune. Guitarists can perform dive bombs, squeals, and other advanced techniques with stability and control. The Floyd Rose Special is a cost-effective version of the original Floyd Rose that provides similar performance at a lower price.

Fast Neck and Extra-Jumbo Frets Optimize Playability

With a thin C-shaped neck profile and extra-jumbo frets, the Demon-6 FR offers a fast, low-friction playing experience. The neck is constructed from maple with a wenge fretboard and 24 extra-jumbo frets. This combination allows for slinky string bending and rapid position shifts across the neck. A 14" fingerboard radius provides an even playing surface for chords and single note runs. Schecter's famed C body shape with a double cutaway gives players easy access to the upper frets.

Premium Components and Thoughtful Details

High-quality components like Schecter die-cast tuners and Floyd Rose Special bridge ensure solid performance and reliability. The mahogany body featured an arched top that makes it lightweight yet resonant. Grey Pearloid Gothic Crosses inlays provide fretboard markers without being visually obtrusive. Additional features include master volume, tone controls and a three-way toggle switch.
