Description
Schecter KM-6 MK-III EX Guitar Satin Black Open Pore
The KM-6 MK-III EX is built for players who demand uncompromising playability and tonal punch. The satin black open pore finish delivers a naturally tactile feel that makes marathon playing sessions comfortable and rewarding. The neck profile cuts through aggressive riffs and executes precise lead work with ease, while premium hardware and neck-through construction lock in rock-solid tuning stability on stage. Tonally, thick, articulate midrange and punchy lows cut through any mix—the open pore finish allows wood to resonate freely, yielding a warmer, more organic tone compared to polyurethane-sealed guitars.
Playability & Feel
The neck-through design with a hard maple 3-piece neck featuring 2 carbon fiber reinforcement rods delivers superior sustain and resonance under your hands. The thin C profile combined with a 42mm Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets on a 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard makes playing effortless across the entire 28-inch baritone scale—ideal for both aggressive downstroke work and nuanced lead passages.
Tone & Electronics
The Lundgren humbucker paired with a single killswitch for on/off control delivers articulate, punchy tonality with excellent clarity and presence on stage. The satin black open pore finish allows the mahogany body with ash top to resonate naturally, producing warmth and organic sustain that responds dynamically to your pick attack and playing dynamics.
