Schecter Aaron Marshall AM-6 guitar in Arctic Jade
Description
Schecter AM-6 Aaron Marshall Guitar Arctic Jade
The Schecter AM-6 cuts through live and studio environments with a thin "C" neck profile and 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets that feel natural under the hands whether you're dialing in fast technical runs or locked into pocket rhythms. The Arctic Jade finish commands visual presence on stage, backed by a carefully voiced pickup pairing designed to sit tight in any modern mix. Built in Indonesia with premium components throughout, this signature model responds to your technique with reliability and tonal clarity across everything from standard tuning to extended range explorations.
Playability & Neck Design
The wenge neck sits in your hand with a thin "C" profile that measures 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret—a taper that trades nothing between speed and grip. A 12"–16" compound radius fretboard paired with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets carved from Macassar ebony means your bends feel fluid and position shifts snap cleanly across the full 25.5" scale length, gig after gig.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter USA Solstice bridge pickup and Schecter USA Equinox neck pickup lock in articulate highs and natural low-end response without fighting your touch, shaped through a dedicated volume, tone, and 5-way switch that keeps you in control on stage. The Gotoh Vintage 2-Point Tremolo holds your intonation tight during heavy use, while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut locks strings at the headstock and delivers bright harmonic definition from the first fret.
