Full Description

Keith Merrow Signature Fishman Fluence Pickups

The USA KM7 MK-III is powered by a pair of Keith Merrow's Custom Fishman pickups. The pickups are incredibly bold, as well as being versatile too. Each pickup features three voices, offering flexibility for the modern guitarist. The bridge pickup's first voice has plenty of low-end grunt, whilst voice 2 yields a range of tones from clean to crunchy to warm, and voice 3 offers classic single coil tones with edge. The neck pickup's first voice is P.A.F style for a vintage sound, whilst voice 2 has a tight and airy chime, and voice 3 is also single coil.

Double Cutaway Swamp Ash Body

The Schecter USA KM7 features a double cutaway body, providing easier access to the higher frets. The swamp ash body is lightweight, and offers versatile tonal characteristics. Ash has plenty of twang, as well as being both crisp and articulate. Its sound accommodates a range of different styles, with its firm lows, snappy highs and a sweet sustain. The Schecter USA Keith Merrow also features a flame maple top, this extends the ash's tonal range, as well as adding unique aesthetics.

Neck Made From Beautiful Tonewood Combination

The neck has a 'thin, fast C' profile that offers smooth play and allows fast shredding. The neck is made from a combination of 3 beautiful tonewoods, for an overall versatile tone. The 3-piece maple, wenge and purpleheart neck provides the guitar with enhanced tightness, firm lows and a nice midrange. The tonewood combination offers bright characteristics with a snappy attack, whilst offering a strong and sturdy construction. A macassar ebony fingerboard delivers a balanced tone, as well as a very responsive tone with smooth sustain. The natural feel of the ebony provides a smooth feel, making it ideal for guitarists who enjoy playing fast.
