Frequently asked questions
Which is better for drop tunings and djent?
The AM-7 is purpose-built for extended range with its 26.5" scale and 7-string configuration, making it ideal for aggressive drop tunings. The V-1 works for djent but is optimized for standard 6-string playing.
What's the pickup difference and does it matter?
The V-1 uses active Fishman Fluence pickups with switchable voicings, offering maximum tonal versatility and output. The AM-7 uses passive Schecter USA pickups voiced specifically for 7-string extended-range clarity, with no switching—simpler but less tonal range.
Are both B-Stock guitars playable out of the box?
Yes. The V-1 is fully functional with only minor cosmetic flaws. The AM-7 has slightly protruding fret wires on the bass side that are cosmetic and smooth to touch, fully playable and covered by warranty.
Which neck feels faster for lead playing?
Both feature thin 'C' profiles for speed. The V-1 emphasizes ultra-thin compound radius and carbon fiber reinforcement for maximum speed; the AM-7 prioritizes extended-range balance with a slightly thicker profile at the 12th fret (.866").
