Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for metal?
Both excel at metal. The SVSS offers refined articulation and punchy mids via Seymour Duncan electronics on a traditional 6-string platform. The AM-7 is specifically voiced for metal with extended low-end clarity on seven strings, making it ideal if you use drop tunings and need those lower notes.
Can I play jazz or blues on either?
Both are listed as not ideal for traditional jazz and blues. The SVSS and AM-7 are designed for modern rock, metal, and progressive styles where high-output pickups and extended range serve aggressive playing. Lighter, warmer tones typically suit jazz and blues better.
What is the main playability difference?
The SVSS has a 25.5" scale and thin C-shaped maple neck with a 14" radius for fast, smooth play on six strings. The AM-7 has a longer 26.5" scale, thinner Wenge C profile, and 24 X-Jumbo frets optimized for seven-string technique and extended range without fatigue.
Why choose the AM-7 over the SVSS?
The AM-7 is the only option if you are left-handed, and it is the only choice if you want a seventh string for drop tunings and extended range voicings. If you play right-handed and use standard tunings, the SVSS offers superior bridge hardware and neck-through stability.
