Boundary-pushing prog metalist Aaron Marshall has been exploring the finer points of fret-burning for over a decade with his Toronto-based band Intervals. Designed with technical-meets-tasteful guitar pyrotechnics in mind, the Schecter USA Aaron Marshall AM-7 reflects a cunning balance of performance, playability, and tone, packed into a 7-string riff-crafting machine. This instrument’s sculpted mahogany body is topped by a dazzling slab of 5A flame maple, loaded with Equinox and Solstice humbuckers, enabling you to call up ultra-high-gain chug and atmospheric clean tones with equal aplomb. Its high-grade, roasted bird’s-eye maple neck features a friction-free Custom Thin C shape that will please any technically inclined player, while the ebony fretboard’s 24 Jescar stainless steel frets and 16-inch radius make everything from rapid-fire arpeggios to massive multi-step bends a breeze. You also get a Hipshot bridge and vault-grade locking tuners, endowing your axe with unmatched sonic stability that supports the utmost expressivity and evocative performances across all seven strings. The Schecter USA Aaron Marshall AM-7 is a high-performance instrument for modern trailblazers who refuse to play by the old rules.
Equipped with Hipshot’s Ibby HM bridge and a Graph Tech Black TUSQ nut, Aaron Marshall’s signature USA-built 7-string is poised to supply unwaveringly clear sonics, free of buzz and teeming with enduring sustain. The inclusion of 7-in-line locking tuners and the neck’s carbon fiber reinforcement rods multiply these attributes, not only amplifying its dimensional stability and aural character but making the AM-7 far more resilient to the elements. This immensely diminished propensity for twisting and warping is, once again, magnified by the choice of Schecter USA’s luthiers to use a roasted variety of bird’s-eye maple for the neck. Considering the expanded palette of both its 7-string spread and 26.5-inch scale length, this reinforcement is all the more welcome. Taken together, this means fewer trips to the workbench, more time with the music, and a high-caliber road warrior that can handle even the most furious of playing without missing a beat.
