Schecter Aaron Marshall AM-6 & AM-7 Guitars

For recording instrumental progressive music, a guitar needs to stay articulate when parts get dense. The Schecter Aaron Marshall AM-6 and AM-7 are built with that in mind. The signature-voiced humbuckers are voiced for the player behind Intervals, a good starting point for tight rhythm tracks and clear, singing leads.

The choice between a 6-string and a 7-string matters in the studio. The AM-7 adds low range for heavy riffs and layered arrangements, while the AM-6 suits sessions that call for a standard tuning and range. Roasted maple necks and an ergonomic double-cutaway body keep long tracking days comfortable, which helps when you are chasing a clean take.

Satin finishes in Arctic Jade, Royal Sapphire and Cobalt Slate add some personality to the studio, and left-handed versions are available too. Prices run from about $1,399 to $1,499, and Studio Gears lists the current stock in the grid below.
