Schecter Keith Merrow

Schecter Keith Merrow guitars are available in a selection of 6 string and 7 string models, each with their own unique style. Left handed players haven't been left out as there is also a selection of models catering to those players. The majority of the guitars feature a hardtail bridge which is a great choice for those who favour tuning stability over tremolo possibilities. Keith does play some very aggressive style riffs so it makes perfect sense that he would choose to have the strings firmly held in place.

Keith Merrow is a multi-skilled guitarist from Portland, USA. His career has seen him take the role of songwriter, engineer, producer, gear demonstrator and teacher. First and foremost though, he knows how to shred and bring the heavy riffs. His unique blend of skills has made a massive impact in the metal world, and he has teamed up with Schecter to release some fantastic signature guitars. Schecter has demonstrated time after time that they are one of the best manufactures of high grade guitars, so it is no surprise that Keith teamed up with them in order to bring these models to life.

The body of the MKIII Keith Merrow Schecter guitars is mahogany or swamp ash with a flamed maple top, fitted with a hipshot hardtail bridge for rock solid tuning stability. The neck material features the classic choice of maple, reinforced by carbon fibre rods and truss rod with a ernie ball compensated nut and Schecter Locking tuners. The neck shape is an ultra-thin C profile, and the ebony or maple fingerboard features 24 X jumbo stainless steel frets and a 12-16 compound radius for maximum playability and comfort. Both six string and seven string models are available with the seven-string models rocking the longer 26.5" scale length, and the six-string counterparts featuring the traditional 25.5" scale length.

A variety of pickups have been used on different models but each choice is great for capturing fast metal riffs. Seymour Duncan and Fishman pickups have been selected due to their ability to showcase this style of playing with precision and great articulation. This is definitely a range of guitars for those who like the heavier side of music. Built for high performance, they are ideal for the performing musician who needs a reliable guitar to keep up with their playing.

Whether it's traditional metal, highly technical playing, or straight up rock, a Keith Merrow signature guitar is a great choice.
