Description
Schecter AM-6 Aaron Marshall Lefty Guitar Arctic Jade
The Schecter AM-6 LH delivers a thin "C"-shaped neck with a compound 12"–16" fretboard radius that balances comfort across the entire fingerboard, making it equally suited to chord work and single-note runs. The arched basswood body with bolt-on construction provides light weight and tonal clarity, while the wenge neck and Macassar ebony fretboard offer a fast, responsive playing surface with enhanced sustain. Built specifically for left-handed players, this guitar refuses to compromise on quality or performance, finished in a striking Arctic Jade that stands out on any stage.
Playability & Construction
The neck measures .787" at the 1st fret and .866" at the 12th fret, housed in a thin "C" profile that minimizes hand fatigue during extended sessions. Twenty-four X-jumbo stainless steel frets sit on a compound radius fretboard, paired with a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.653" width) and Super Blue Luminlay side dot markers for visibility in low-light performance conditions. Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners lock in your pitch with authority, while the 2-way adjustable truss rod with heel access keeps the neck stable night after night without breaking stride on stage.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter USA Solstice bridge pickup and Schecter USA Equinox neck pickup deliver versatile tonal range from warm, articulate lows to clear, cutting highs across multiple musical genres. Volume and tone controls with a 5-way switch provide extensive sonic flexibility for dialing in your sound, while the Gotoh Vintage 2-Point Tremolo bridge enables smooth, tuning-stable tremolo effects and is fitted with chrome metal O-ring knobs for reliable operation in live settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar suitable for left-handed players only, or can right-handed players use it?
This AM-6 is built specifically for left-handed players, with reverse body and headstock orientation. Right-handed players would not find it playable in standard configuration.
What genres and playing styles does this guitar work best for?
The AM-6 excels in rock, metal, progressive, and studio sessions. Its articulate lows and cutting highs, combined with fast neck response and enhanced sustain, are not ideal for jazz or folk applications where softer, warmer tones are typically preferred.
What pickups are in this guitar and can they be changed?
The AM-6 comes equipped with a Schecter USA Solstice bridge pickup and Schecter USA Equinox neck pickup. Both are mounted in standard configurations and can be swapped for other pickups if desired.
How does the neck feel and what are its key dimensions?
The thin C-shaped neck measures 0.787 inches at the 1st fret and 0.866 inches at the 12th fret, with a compound 12–16 inch radius fretboard that balances comfort for chords and single-note runs. The wenge neck and Macassar ebony fretboard provide fast response and reduced hand fatigue during extended playing.
Does this guitar stay in tune well, especially with the tremolo bridge?
Yes. The Gotoh Vintage 2-Point Tremolo bridge is designed for tuning stability during tremolo effects, and the Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners lock each string securely in place to maintain pitch stability.
