collapse expand iconDescription

New for 2019, the KM-6 MK-III Artist by Schecter Guitars, brings the precision craftsmanship and high-end specs of Keith Merrow’s inimitable 7-string signature guitar to the 6-string format. Swamp ash body wings combine with a carbon fiber-reinforced 9-ply wenge/maple/purpleheart thru-neck capped with a 25.5” scale ebony fingerboard to deliver clear, resonant tone and a fast, smooth feel in your hand, while a poplar burl top offers up a stunning visual presentation that commands attention. Ensuring that the KM-6 MK-III Artist brings the goods on all levels, the guitar comes factory-equipped with premium appointments including an Ernie Ball compensated nut, Hipshot High-Mass bridge, Hipshot Grip-Lock tuning machines, Fishman Fluence Keith Merrow Signature pickups with dual-voice and coil-split switching, and a solid brass string mounting block.
