Sound & Tone
The Lundgren M6 humbuckers push a high-output, tightly focused voice that keeps note separation intact under heavy gain, with the mahogany body adding weight and the flamed maple top and ebony fretboard sharpening the attack. A 25.5" scale and fixed Hipshot bridge give firm string tension and stable pitch for palm-muted riffing, while the neck-thru construction and 24 stainless frets support sustained leads high up the neck. It's aimed squarely at progressive metal and technical playing, where fast articulate runs and percussive rhythm work need to stay clear rather than blur together.
Schecter KM-6 MK-III Legacy Guitar Transparent White Satin
The KM-6 MK-III Legacy sits in hand like a purpose-built tool: an ultra-thin C-profile neck couples with neck-thru-body construction to deliver speed and fluidity through rapid position shifts and complex technical passages. The Transparent White Satin finish reveals a stunning flamed maple top over mahogany, while the ergonomic radius top contour locks you in for marathon session comfort. Built for progressive and metal players who demand both precision and tone, this instrument cuts through the mix onstage with the stability and articulation required for technical work and powerful riffing alike.
Playability & Construction
A 3-piece maple neck with dual carbon fiber reinforcement rods keeps the neck dead stable under stage lights and tuning changes, resisting environmental drift that plagues touring rigs. The ultra-thin C neck profile (0.748" at the 1st fret, 0.787" at the 12th) melts away fret fatigue during fast runs and extended sessions. The 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets paired with an ebony fretboard and compound radius (305mm to 406mm) deliver a glassy, responsive playing surface that handles tight barre chords and rapid single-note work with equal authority.
Tone & Hardware
Dual Lundgren M6 humbuckers (bridge and neck) cut with articulate, high-output character and excellent clarity across all registers—punchy where you need punch, detailed where you need definition. A straightforward master volume and 3-way mini toggle switch let you dial in your voice without menu diving. The Hipshot 6-string fixed bridge and Schecter locking tuners lock your tuning solid through sets and setlists, while the Graph Tech Black Tusq nut (42mm x 6mm) ensures consistent tone transfer and sustain.
