Schecter KM-7 MK-III Lefty Legacy Guitar Transparent White Satin
Description
Schecter KM-7 MK-III Lefty Legacy Guitar Transparent White Satin
The KM-7 MK-III is engineered for left-handed players who demand serious performance from a 7-string instrument. Its ultra-thin "C" neck profile and compound radius fretboard deliver speed and comfort across the entire range, while the neck-thru construction with Ultra Access ensures both sustain and playability at the higher frets. The Transparent White Satin finish reveals a stunning Flamed Maple top, creating a visually striking instrument that performs as well as it looks.
Playability & Feel
The Maple 3-piece neck with Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Rods provides exceptional stability and durability, essential for a 7-string extended range. At just 0.748" at the 1st fret and 0.787" at the 12th fret, the neck feels remarkably slim without sacrificing rigidity. The 12"-16" compound radius Ebony fretboard flattens out for fast lead work while maintaining a comfortable curve for chording, and the 24 X-Jumbo Stainless Steel frets ensure smooth articulation and longevity.
Tone & Electronics
Both the bridge and neck positions feature Lundgren M7 pickups, delivering aggressive, articulate output suited to modern heavy music and complex harmonic work. The Hipshot Hardtail bridge locks in precise intonation and solid tuning stability, while the simple 3-Way Toggle Switch and Master Volume control keep tone shaping intuitive and responsive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar only for advanced players, or can intermediate players handle it?
The KM-7 MK-III is built for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. Its ultra-thin C-profile neck and compound-radius fretboard make it accessible for faster playing techniques, though the 7-string extended range and metal-oriented tone are best suited to players with some extended-range experience.
What genres does this guitar excel in?
The KM-7 MK-III is engineered for metal, djent, progressive, and other extended-range styles. Its aggressive, articulate Lundgren M7 pickups and tight sustain make it less ideal for jazz or traditional folk playing.
How does the neck profile and fretboard radius work for both lead and chord work?
The 12"-16" compound radius Ebony fretboard flattens toward the higher frets for fast soloing, while maintaining a comfortable curve for open chording lower on the neck. The ultra-thin C-profile (0.748" at the 1st fret, 0.787" at the 12th) maximizes speed without sacrificing rigidity, thanks to the carbon-fiber reinforcement rods.
What hardware and electronics does it come with?
The guitar features a Hipshot Hardtail bridge for precise intonation and tuning stability, Schecter Locking Tuners, Lundgren M7 pickups in both positions, and a simple 3-Way Toggle Switch with Master Volume control. The 48mm compensated nut and 26.5" scale length are optimized for 7-string tension and playability.
What makes the Transparent White Satin finish special?
The Transparent White Satin finish reveals the beautiful Flamed Maple top beneath while providing a satin texture. Black hardware and 1-ply binding accent the design, creating a visually striking instrument that performs as well as it looks.
