Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between the bridges?
The KS M-6 uses an Evertune bridge that automatically returns to pitch after bending, eliminating tuning drift during aggressive techniques. The MK-600 uses a Floyd Rose 1000 that provides traditional tremolo arm control but requires manual fine-tuning after heavy bending.
Are the pickups and electronics different?
Both guitars use Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers with alnico neck and ceramic bridge pickups. The MK-600 adds a mini voice selection switch for Modern Active and Modern Passive modes, while the KS M-6 uses standard active electronics without switching.
Which is better for drop tunings and heavy riffing?
Both are built for heavy metal with neck-through mahogany/maple construction and 24 frets. The MK-600's Floyd Rose and passive mode switch offer more traditional metal versatility, while the KS M-6's Evertune keeps drop tunings locked in without manual adjustment.
What's the significance of the B-Stock designation on the MK-600?
B-Stock typically indicates a minor cosmetic imperfection or return, not a functional defect. The guitar is fully playable and covered by standard warranty; it's priced accordingly.
