Modern metal. Traditional roots
Songwriter. Engineer. Guitarist. Keith Merrow has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. But perhaps he is most famous for his bold, boisterous tone. Now, that tone is all yours. Working closely with Schecter, the giant of modern metal brings you his secret weapon. The KM-6 MK-III Hybrid. This is the ultimate shred machine, combining classic timbre with contemporary innovation. Take a look for yourself. Mounted directly onto the body, two Fishman Fluence Humbuckers give you plenty of bark and bite. The signature pickups work together to achieve articulate highs, tight lows, and plenty of midrange punch in between. Whether you’re playing blistering solos of steady chord progressions, the KM-6 remains fully responsive to pick attack and dynamic expression. That means grizzly, distorted tone without any compromise.
A one-way ticket to tone town
All aboard the metal express. The KM-6 MK-III Hybrid is your key to cacophonous creativity. Equipped with the best hardware available, you know it comes with Merrow’s own seal of approval. Discover faultless tuning stability thanks to a hipshot bridge and locking tuners. Both work together to ensure impeccable intonation, so you can shred at any fret position without going out of key. But what if you’re on the road? Simple. The KM-6 helps you adjust your neck with ease. The 2-way adjustable rod features a heel access spoke wheel, so any changes in temperature or climate can be compensated for. Your bandmates have never heard you play this good.
Comfort comes first
Take the hardness out of hardcore tone. The KM-6 MK-III Hybrid makes playing easy. And trust us, with tone this good, you’re going to be playing all night long. Built to Merrow’s exact specifications, the KM-6 comes fully equipped with an ultra thin C-shape neck, crafted from maple for smooth playability. Whether you’re up high or down low, finger positioning is strain-free, giving you full access to fast riffs and chord progressions. The maple fretboard increases string resonance, whilst the 24 extra jumbo frets give you plenty of room to hit the right shapes and scales. And thanks to glow in the dark side dot markers, you’ll never lose your place. That’s great for dimly lit stages, studios, and rehearsal spaces.
Sculpted to perfection
There’s a reason why you can’t take your eyes off this axe. Every detail has been specially selected for the ultimate tonal experience. Right down to the wood. The KM-6 MK-III Hybrid gets its signature, woody resonance from a choice cut of solid mahogany. This premium tonewood ensures maximum string vibration, minimising cross-talk whilst maximising clarity. Two deep cutaways give you unrivalled room to manoeuvre, so when you get carried away on a big solo you’ll never run out of space. And with shallow contours on the back of the body, this axe will fit in your hands like it was built just for you. Who knows, maybe you’ll become the next Keith Merrow…
