Schecter teamed up with metal instrumentalist Keith Merrow to bring his vision of the perfect guitar to life. The result is the KM-6 MK-III; boasting exotic woods and faultless hardware. As the third iteration of Merrow’s popular signature guitar, the KM-6 MK-III is arguably the most comfortable and playable instrument that Schecter has ever conceived – making it perfect for touring and the studio.
Construction
A swamp ash body gives this guitar a light feel, perfect for long sets where anergonomic instrument is necessary. Giving you a full-bodied sound, this serves as the perfect tonal foundation for the high-output Schecter Diamond KM pickups;bringing out the best of their qualities.
The Schecter KM-6MK-III’s ultra thin “C” neck profile provides further comfort, enabling fast runs and lead lines without any hindrance. Constructed fromMaple, you can expect a snappy response with plenty of mid-range attack. TheCarbon Fiber reinforcement rodsare a premium touch, which along with the 3-piece design ensuresrock solid stability in differing climates.
Electronics & Hardware
One of the most noteworthy features of this instrument is its dual dose of Schecter Diamond KM humbuckers. Delivering ultra-hottones that can handle copious amounts of gain, these pickups have lots of upper mid-range bite that makes them particularly useful with high-gain amplifiers. But they aren’t built solely for distortion, as with clean tones they sound warm and pure – perfect for softly-picked arpeggios or chords. And with the ability to engage a coil-split function, you can attain those glassy single-coil tones too!
The Schecter custom hardtail bridge is machined super-smoothly, enabling comfortable palm-muting.Its high-mass design also ensures superb sustain and fullness, especially in conjunction with thestring-thru-body format.
