Description
ESP LTD KS M-6 Evertune Ken Susi Metallic Silver Guitar
The KS M-6 combines a fast, comfortable neck with a responsive body that rewards aggressive lead work and intricate finger patterns. The Evertune bridge maintains rock-solid tuning stability even during intense bending and divebomb techniques, while the metallic silver finish presents a striking visual presence. This instrument delivers punchy, articulate tones with controlled highs that cut through any mix—equally at home in modern metal, progressive rock, or high-gain shred scenarios.
Playability & Feel
The 3-piece maple neck with thin U contour provides fast access across the fretboard, while the macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 XJ frets and 350mm radius supports both precision playing and aggressive bending. At 8 lbs 7 oz, the instrument balances weight distribution for extended playing sessions without fatigue, and the 42mm molded nut width accommodates comfortable string spacing for lead technique and chord work.
Tone & Electronics
The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups—Alnico neck and Ceramic bridge—paired with active electronics deliver note clarity at high volumes and surprising sustain that sings through distortion. The push/pull volume and tone controls with 3-way switch provide tonal shaping options without requiring external effects, while the neck-through mahogany construction contributes to the guitar's resonance and sustain character.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Evertune bridge and why does it matter?
The Evertune F-model bridge uses a mechanical locking system to maintain rock-solid tuning stability even during extreme bending, divebombs, and aggressive playing techniques. This eliminates the need for constant retuning between takes or during live sets, making the guitar especially reliable for metal and shred work where pitch accuracy is critical.
What pickups are in this guitar and can I get different voicings?
The KS M-6 uses Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers with an Alnico neck pickup and Ceramic bridge pickup paired with active electronics. Fishman Fluence pickups offer multiple voicing options that can be accessed by holding the selector switch, giving you tonal variety without swapping pickups.
Is this guitar suitable for jazz or blues?
No—the KS M-6 is purpose-built for metal, progressive rock, and shred. The aggressive pickup voicings, high-gain clarity, and punchy tone profile are optimized for distortion-heavy styles rather than the smooth, dynamic response preferred in jazz and blues.
What comes with the guitar?
The KS M-6 ships with a molded hardshell case (MH guitar form fit), D'Addario XL120 strings (.009 gauge), and the guitar itself. No additional accessories or effects are included.
How does the neck feel, and is it good for fast playing?
The thin U-contour 3-piece maple neck with 350mm radius and 24 XJ frets is designed for fast, comfortable access across the fretboard and supports both precision technique and aggressive bending. The 42mm molded nut width provides balanced string spacing for lead work, and the 25.5" scale is the industry standard for metal and hard rock.
