Description
Sound & Tone
Hand-wound Lundgren M7 passive humbuckers give this 7-string a tight, articulate attack with plenty of midrange punch, while the swamp ash body, poplar burl top and 9-piece wenge/maple/purpleheart neck-through add sustain and clarity that keeps low-string riffing defined rather than muddy. The 26.5" extended scale and ebony fretboard tighten string tension for low tunings, favoring precise palm-muted rhythms and clean note separation in fast passages. Coil-splitting via the mini-switch thins things out for cleaner, more transparent tones, making it suited to progressive metal, djent, and modern fusion playing.
Schecter Keith Merrow KM-7 MK-III Artist Guitar in Lagoon Fade
The KM-7 MK-III Artist is built for seven-string players who demand precision and endurance night after night. Its ultra-thin neck profile and perfectly balanced construction let you move freely across extended-range technique without hand fatigue, whether you're laying down grinding riffs or navigating complex passages on stage. Engineered for articulate, punchy tone that cuts through a mix—progressive metal, djent, modern fusion—this handcrafted instrument gives touring musicians and serious players the reliability and tonal definition they need in high-pressure live and studio environments.
Playability & Design
The ultra-thin C neck profile with 26.5" extended scale length keeps your fretting hand comfortable through long sets and rapid position shifts across seven strings. The 9-piece neck-through construction using wenge, maple, and purpleheart with carbon fiber reinforcement rods resists twisting and warping under road conditions, while the 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard with 24 frets maintains consistent action and playability from the first fret through the upper register, night after night.
Tone & Electronics
Fishman Fluence humbucking pickups deliver articulate, responsive tone with modern clarity and definition across the extended range—no mud, no compromise. The string-through bridge construction maximizes sustain and resonance for tight, focused output, while precise hardware and proven tuning stability keep all seven strings locked in throughout your set, whether you're tracking in the studio or performing live.
