Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and neck-thru maple construction give this seven-string a focused, sustaining voice, while the 26.5" scale and Hipshot hardtail with string-thru body keep low tunings tight and defined rather than muddy. Dual Fishman Fluence Keith Merrow humbuckers deliver articulate attack with clear highs, punchy mids and controlled lows, and the active circuit handles high-gain playing without feedback or phase problems. It sits naturally in modern metal, djent and progressive contexts, with enough clarity and dynamic response for clean arpeggios and experimental work.
Schecter Keith Merrow KM-7 MK-III Hybrid Electric Guitar Snowblind
This KM-7 MK-III sits exceptionally light in your hands without sacrificing structural integrity—the featherweight construction pairs with an ultra-thin 'C' profile neck that keeps hand fatigue at bay during marathon sessions. The neck-thru design with ultra access opens up the fretboard all the way to the 24th fret with zero obstruction, critical for shredding and exploring the full range of a seven-string. Built to Keith Merrow's exacting specifications, this hybrid delivers the articulate, focused tone modern metal and progressive players demand—crystalline highs punch through, mids stay punchy, and lows sit deep and defined without muddiness. The Snowblind finish provides a striking visual identity for an instrument engineered from the ground up for modern, experimental playing.
Playability & Neck Design
The maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods and ultra-thin 'C' profile (.748" at the first fret, .787" at the 12th) creates a fast, responsive playing surface that minimizes hand fatigue. Twenty-four X-Jumbo stainless steel frets paired with a 12"-16" compound radius fretboard deliver consistent action and smooth bending across the entire range, while the Ernie Ball compensated nut and Schecter locking tuners ensure precise intonation and tuning stability that holds up through any gig.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Fishman Fluence Keith Merrow humbuckers (bridge and neck) give you the articulate, responsive character essential for seven-string work, capturing both aggressive attack and nuanced dynamics without phase issues or feedback. The 9-volt clip-in battery compartment powers the active electronics, while the simple volume and 3-way switch configuration keeps controls intuitive and road-tested for touring musicians.
