Resonant Tone from Swamp Ash Body and Poplar Burl Top

Constructed with a swamp ash body and exquisite poplar burl top, the KM-7 MK-III sings with resonance and projection. Its lightweight swamp ash generates enhanced vibration and responsiveness while the decorative burl top lends visual flair. Together they produce lively acoustic tone that complements the KM-7 MK-III's magnetic pickups. The thin C neck profile combined with the contoured rear for a comfortably fast playing feel whether seated or standing.

Comfortable Neck-Through Design

Its neck-through design provides outstanding sustain and makes upper fret access effortless. The 9-piece maple, wenge and purpleheart neck feels fast and smooth. A compound radius fingerboard lets you blaze through leads with ease. The ergonomic neck shape and 26.5" scale length create a comfortable 7-string feel.
