Sound & Tone
The basswood body with arched top keeps the midrange focused and even, while the 26.5" scale and Hipshot fixed bridge give the low B tight definition and long, stable sustain. Schecter USA Solstice and Equinox pickups are voiced for extended range, so the bridge position stays articulate under gain for djent-leaning rhythm work and the neck position holds clarity for clean arpeggios and lead lines, with the 5-way switch adding blended in-between voices. Wenge neck and Macassar ebony fretboard with stainless X-Jumbo frets lend a crisp attack, making it well suited to progressive metal, instrumental rock, and technical playing that demands note separation across all seven strings.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this guitar?
This unit is fully functional and unplayed, but carries minor cosmetic marks on the fretboard binding that have no impact on playability or tone. It comes with full manufacturer warranty coverage and is otherwise new.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and djent?
Yes—the AM-7 is purpose-built for metal, progressive, and djent styles. The extended 26.5" scale, tight lower-string definition from the USA pickups, and Hipshot fixed bridge provide the articulation and sustain those genres demand.
What is the neck profile and scale length?
The thin 'C'-profile neck measures 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the 12th, paired with a 26.5" scale and 1.889" nut width. This balance provides comfortable reach and responsive feel across all seven strings without sacrificing string tension or playability.
How does it compare to other seven-strings like the Ibanez RG7 Prestige or ESP LTD M-1007EII?
The AM-7 shares the extended-range clarity and professional build quality of those models but stands out for Aaron Marshall's thin neck profile, meticulous 24 X-Jumbo fretwork, and Schecter USA pickups tuned specifically for articulate extended-range tones. All three are road-tested platforms for advanced players; choice comes down to neck feel and tonal preference.
What pickups does it have?
The AM-7 uses Schecter USA Solstice (bridge) and Schecter USA Equinox (neck) pickups, voiced for extended-range clarity with tight lower-string definition and balanced upper-register presence.
