Schecter Demon-6 FR Crimson Red Burst Electric Guitar

Quick Product Summary

The Schecter Demon-6 FR in Crimson Red Burst is a modern, high-performance electric guitar designed for players who want powerful active humbucker tones and the expressive freedom of a double-locking tremolo. Its basswood body is topped with flamed maple, giving the deep red burst finish extra visual depth, while a bolt-on maple neck and Wenge fingerboard provide a fast, responsive playing platform.

Dual Schecter Diamond Active HB-105S humbuckers deliver the strong output, definition and low-noise performance required for rock and metal, while the Floyd Rose Special bridge allows everything from subtle vibrato to aggressive dive bombs and pull-ups. With 24 X-Jumbo frets, a Thin “C” neck profile and distinctive Gothic Cross inlays, the Demon-6 FR offers serious modern performance with unmistakable Schecter styling.

What Makes the Schecter Demon-6 FR Special?

The Demon-6 FR combines Schecter’s dark modern styling with a specification built for heavier playing. Its basswood body with flamed maple top provides the foundation for the striking Crimson Red Burst finish, while black binding, Black Chrome hardware and Grey Pearloid Gothic Cross inlays complete the aggressive aesthetic. The maple Thin “C” neck, 14" radius Wenge fingerboard and 24 X-Jumbo frets create a relatively flat, fast playing surface suited to riffs, bends, tapping and technical lead work.

Its electronics are centred around a pair of Schecter Diamond Active HB-105S humbuckers, providing the strong, focused output associated with active pickup systems. The Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo adds extensive pitch control, making the Demon-6 FR particularly appealing to players who want powerful rhythm tones without giving up dramatic tremolo techniques.

Who Is It For?

The Schecter Demon-6 FR is an excellent choice for developing, intermediate and experienced guitarists looking for a modern performance guitar designed around high-gain sounds and expressive lead playing.

It is particularly well suited to metal, hard rock, alternative metal, progressive styles and shred, especially for guitarists who regularly use tremolo effects such as dive bombs, pull-ups and wide vibrato.

Why Choose An Active Pickup Guitar With A Floyd Rose?

Active pickups use powered electronics to produce a strong and consistent signal, making them particularly effective when paired with distortion and high-gain amplification. They can help retain clarity and attack through heavily driven sounds while keeping unwanted noise under control.

A Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo adds another level of performance flexibility. By locking the strings at both the nut and bridge, the system is designed to withstand extensive pitch manipulation while maintaining tuning stability.

How Does It Compare?

Compared With The Fixed-Bridge Demon-6

The standard Demon-6 uses a Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-through-body construction, making restringing and tuning changes simpler. The Demon-6 FR replaces this with a Floyd Rose Special, making it the stronger choice for guitarists who actively use tremolo techniques.

Compared With The Demon-6 FR S

The Demon-6 FR uses Schecter Diamond Active HB-105S humbuckers in both positions. The FR S version replaces the neck humbucker with a Sustainiac system, adding extended electronic sustain. Players wanting a conventional two-pickup active setup may prefer the FR, while the FR S offers more specialised lead effects.
