What we say:
Online sensation and gonzo-shredder Keith Merrow has delighted fans of his Youtube channel for years and now he gets to step up and enjoy his own signature Schecter range of guitars. This beautiful instrument is actually from the third generation of Merrow guitars, such are their popularity!
This KM-7 Mk-III is a mean 7 string, available here in the stunningly gorgeous Trans Black Burst finish! This Black-Grey burst shows the Swamp Ash body and 9 piece neck off to rather beautiful effect!
The neck has 24 extra jumbo stainless steel frets and a 12-16" compound radius Ebony fretboard, with a scale length that is a little longer than usual at 26.5”: not baritone but certainly helpful in keeping that low ‘B’ string under control!
A set of active Fishman Fluence Keith Merrow Custom humbuckers are used on this instrument. Along with the huge output, there's a bunch of helpful compression to smooth out your legato passages and tapping frenzies. Your low B notes will grind out with intense definition. A 3 way mini toggle allows more choice for tones that are include subtle single coil sounds and high octane humbucker tones.
This is a high quality guitar that can be effectively used in all manner of styles and genres. It really lets rip when you turn up the gain though: give it a shot!
7 string Precision players will have a ball with this high performance instrument.
