Schecter AM-7 Aaron Marshall Guitar Cobalt Slate B-Stock 2496
Description
Schecter AM-7 Aaron Marshall Guitar Cobalt Slate B-Stock 2496
This unplayed B-Stock AM-7 brings extended-range recording capability and refined playability into the studio. The thin 'C' neck profile and 26.5" scale deliver a comfortable, responsive feel that translates to tight, articulate tracking across all registers. A few fret wires protrude slightly on the bass side—cosmetic and smooth to the touch—making this an exceptional value on a guitar engineered for precision capture and sustain in the mix.
Neck & Fretwork for Studio Tracking
The Wenge neck with Macassar Ebony fretboard provides structural stability and a smooth playing surface, supported by a 2-way adjustable truss rod with heel access. Twenty-four X-Jumbo stainless steel frets on a 16" radius accommodate both bending articulation and clean chording, while the thin 'C' profile measures .787" at the first fret and .866" at the 12th—ideal for extended-range recording and part execution. Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners and a Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut (1.889" width) lock in tuning stability and clean string engagement across all seven strings, critical for session consistency.
Pickup Design & Recording Character
The Schecter USA Solstice bridge pickup and Schecter USA Equinox neck pickup are voiced specifically for the extended range, capturing clarity and articulation on the lower strings while maintaining definition in the upper registers—essential for layering heavy rhythms and lead textures. A straightforward volume/tone/5-way switch layout with chrome metal O-ring knobs enables quick tone shaping between takes, while the Hipshot 7-string fixed bridge locks in intonation and sustain across the full spectrum for consistent, punch-ready recordings.
