Description
Schecter AM-6 Aaron Marshall Guitar Arctic Jade
The Schecter AM-6 captures articulate, cutting tones through its carefully voiced pickup configuration designed for modern mix clarity. The thin "C" neck profile and 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets enable precise articulation and fast technical passages without fatigue during long tracking sessions. Built in Indonesia with premium components throughout, this signature model delivers both tonal character and ergonomic comfort across a wide range of recording applications and playing styles.
Playability & Neck Design
The wenge neck features a thin "C" profile with progressive thickness—measuring 0.787" at the 1st fret and 0.866" at the 12th fret—that supports extended takes and fast position shifts without sacrificing control. A 12"–16" compound radius fretboard paired with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets and Macassar ebony construction enables smooth string bending and consistent intonation across the full 25.5" scale length, critical for layered guitar tracking and clean overdubs.
Tone & Recording Character
The Schecter USA Solstice bridge pickup and Schecter USA Equinox neck pickup deliver articulate clarity and natural warmth without coloration, controlled through a dedicated volume, tone, and 5-way switch configuration for session flexibility. The Gotoh Vintage 2-Point Tremolo maintains intonation stability across takes while the Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut ensures reliable tuning retention and bright harmonic clarity that translates accurately to tape.
