For over a decade, Aaron Marshall has been pushing the boundaries of progressive metal with his project Intervals. Considering that the driving force of the band is his mixture of technical-meets-tasteful guitar mastery, it comes as no surprise that the Schecter Aaron Marshall AM-6 electric guitar is the perfect blend of performance, playability, and tone! This instrument begins with a lightweight basswood body that’s loaded with Equinox and Solstice humbuckers, crafted by Schecter USA to effortlessly tackle everything from ultra-high gain chug to atmospheric clean tones. Next, the wenge neck’s thin “C”-shape is sure to please any technically inclined player, while the jumbo stainless steel frets and the compound 12- to 16-inch radius make everything from rapid-fire arpeggios to massive multi-step bends a breeze. Finally, a Gotoh vintage 2-point tremolo allows you to dive-bomb to your heart’s content, while the Hipshot Grip Lock tuners ensure maximum stability.

From subtle vibrato to shrieking dive-bombs, the Schecter Aaron Marshall AM-6’s Gotoh vintage tremolo is a favorite among Sweetwater guitarists for its exceptional combination of reliability and versatility. Its 2-point design is about as time-tested as tremolo units get, and when set up correctly, it retains your tuning remarkably well. Add in the top-of-the-line Hipshot Grip Lock tuners, and the Aaron Marshall AM-6 can handle even the most furious playing without batting an eye.





Fast-playing thin "C" neck





As an instrumental project, Aaron’s fleet-fingered playing is often the star of the show, dazzling listeners with his sheer technical wizardry. To facilitate these impressive chops, the Aaron Marshall AM-6’s neck is loaded with just about every high-performance improvement in the book! This neck starts with a rock-solid piece of quarter-sawn wenge, carved into the classic thin “C shape that so many shredders and virtuosic players have come to prefer for its fast feel. Next, the Macassar ebony fingerboard boasts a 12-16-inch compound radius that optimizes your setup from the first fret all the way to the 24th. Lastly, the jumbo stainless steel frets provide a slick surface with plenty of meat to enable easy bends ? all while being all but impervious to fret wear!





Schecter USA Equinox and Solstice humbuckers





Any fan of Aaron’s fingerboard virtuosity is keenly aware of how many tones his progressive metal virtuosity covers ? often within a single song! Low-tuned chug, saturated lyrical leads, ultra-clean rapid-fire arpeggios: it’s a tall task for any set of pickups to cover. To meet his exacting needs, the Schecter Aaron Marshall AM-6 is loaded with a pair of pickups built by Schecter USA, including a Solstice humbucker in the bridge and an Equinox humbucker in the neck. Moreover, a 5-way switch grants you access to plenty of unique in-between tones, making this 6-string an absolute titan of versatility.
