Description
Schecter AM-7 Aaron Marshall Guitar Cobalt Slate B-Stock 2496
This unplayed B-Stock AM-7 delivers the extended range and refined playability Aaron Marshall designed into a 7-string platform. The thin 'C' neck profile and 26.5" scale create a comfortable, responsive playing experience across all registers. A few fret wires protrude slightly on the bass side—cosmetic and smooth to the touch—making this an exceptional value on a guitar built for both precision and sustain.
Playability & Neck Character
The Wenge neck with Macassar Ebony fretboard provides stability and a smooth playing surface, supported by a 2-way adjustable truss rod with heel access. Twenty-four X-Jumbo stainless steel frets on a 16" radius accommodate both bending and chording, while the thin 'C' profile measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th—ideal for extended-range work. Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.889" width) ensure tuning stability and clean string engagement across all seven strings.
Tone & Stage Performance
The Schecter USA Solstice bridge pickup and Schecter USA Equinox neck pickup are voiced specifically for the extended range, capturing clarity and articulation on the lower strings while maintaining definition in the upper registers. A simple volume/tone/5-way switch layout with chrome metal O-ring knobs provides straightforward tone sculpting, while the Hipshot 7-string fixed bridge locks in intonation and sustain across the full spectrum for reliable live use.
