Description

Schecter positioned the Demon-8 as an extended-range, down-tuning instrument within its Demon series, built on a bolt-on construction with a basswood body and an arched top. The guitar was manufactured in Indonesia and was finished in Aged Black Satin, with aged creme 1-ply binding and black chrome hardware throughout.

The maple neck, reinforced with carbon fiber rods, carries a Thin 'C' profile measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth, and terminates at a 2.125" wide Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut. The 28" scale wenge fretboard features 24 X-jumbo frets on a 16" radius, with grey pearloid Gothic Cross inlays. Tuning stability is handled by Schecter tuners, with a Schecter Custom Hardtail bridge employing string-through-body stringing. Both pickup positions carry Schecter Diamond Active HB-105S humbuckers, powered by a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment, and the control layout runs Volume, Tone, and a 3-way switch with metal knurled, set-screw knobs. The guitar was strung from the factory with Ernie Ball 8-String Skinny Top Heavy Bottom #2624 (.009/.012/.016/.026/.036/.046/.064/.080).

Owners sourcing replacement parts should note that the string-through hardtail bridge, 54mm nut, and active pickup configuration each carry specific dimensional and electrical requirements; a qualified guitar technician can advise on compatible substitutes and setup for the 28" scale length.

From the people who own them

Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.

The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.

Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
