Schecter Guitar Research Demon-6 FR Electric Guitar Satin Aged Black

Description
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.

Have played fenders all my life and great guitars. This was an excellent choice that a good friend refer me. I adjusted the action and changed to a lighter gauge. I love this guitar! Looks great and sounds what I expected! Definitely will recommend.
This is an amazing mid range guitar.

I was scared to buy this because it would be my first Floyd rose guitar, but after getting it and immediately doing dive bombs it stayed in tune perfectly! Right out of the box it was in tune and needed no setup. Highly recommend this if you're looking for a mid range guitar or buying your first Floyd rose.
I would buy again.

This is my first Schecter and I absolutely love it. Great feel and great tone. The only thing that i can say badly about this guitar is that it goes out of tune when doing dive bombs which is a bummer but hopefully i can fix that.

I'm thinking about buying a Schecter Demon 6 FR, but I can't really tell what the correct case for it would be. Would I have to go third party?
The Schecter Guitar Research Diamond Series SGR-1C Molded Guitar Case is the recommended case.
