DISC Schecter Keith Merrow KM-7 7-String MK-II 2018, Black Pearl

Full Description

Swamp Ash Body with a Flamed Top

The Keith Merrow KM-7 Mk-II guitar has a body constructed from high quality swamp ash, making it lightweight, and resonant. The swamp ash creates an airy, twang tone that’s pleasantly sweet, offering firm lows, pleasing highs, slightly scooped mids, and an excellent amount of sustain. The maple top’s flaming provides a visually stunning and unique style, whilst the bevel edges offer a comfortable play. Also featuring maple binding, black hardware, and a Hipshot bridge, the Schecter is given a see-through black pearl finish to create a visually stunning guitar that shows the natural figuring of the maple and swamp ash.

Maple/Wenge Neck, Ebony Fingerboard

A maple/wenge neck provides extra tightness to the tone, delivering firm lows and a nice midrange. carbon fiber reinforcement rods are added to the guitar's neck, increasing stability and preventing any bowing that may occur from string tension. The maple and wenge combination produces bright characteristics with a snappy attack, whilst offering a strong and sturdy construction. An ebony fingerboard delivers a balanced tone, offering a very responsive, bright attack with a smooth sustain. The natural feel of the ebony provides a smooth feel, perfect for guitarists who enjoy playing fast. The guitar also comes with many other features including Grover machine heads, 24 stainless steel frets, and offset/reverse dot inlays with glow in the dark side dots.

Fishman Fluence Keith Merrow Custom Pickups

The KM-7 Mk-II has been designed with the Fishman Fluence Keith Merrow Custom set of pickups, creating searing highs, grinding mids, and a tight bass, perfect for the modern player. The Fishman Fluence Keith Merrow Custom humbucker is situated at the neck position, offering a balanced and versatile sound with a dynamic response. The humbucker can produce incredibly clean tones thanks to its articulate vintage output, providing a wide harmonic range. The Fishman Fluence Keith Merrow Custom humbucker is placed in the bridge position and is moved closer to the bridge to provide a brighter tone with a sharp pick attack. With its large ceramic magnet and custom wiring specs, the Fishman Fluence Keith Merrow Custom offers the perfect blend of note articulation and saturation, creating powerful chugs with a tight bass response and an aggressive high gain.
