Description
Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with flamed maple top and neck-through construction give this 7-string a thick low-mid foundation and long sustain, while the ebony fretboard and 26.5" scale keep the low strings tight and defined rather than loose or muddy. Dual Lundgren M7 humbuckers push a focused, high-output voice with strong note separation, so fast riffing and chordal work stay articulate under heavy gain, and the brass Hipshot hardtail reinforces that direct, stable attack. It's aimed squarely at modern metal and progressive playing, where clean tracking of technical passages matters more than vintage warmth.
Schecter KM-7 MK-III Legacy Guitar Transparent White Satin
The KM-7 MK-III Legacy delivers an ultra-thin neck profile and lightweight, balanced ergonomics designed for extended technical playing sessions without fatigue. Built in collaboration with Keith Merrow, this 7-string instrument combines a sleek Transparent White Satin finish with purposeful engineering that prioritizes speed and precision across the fretboard. The 26.5" scale maintains clarity and tension on lower strings while supporting the demands of modern metal and progressive styles.
Construction & Playability
A mahogany body paired with a flamed maple top delivers resonance and visual depth, while the neck-through construction ensures optimal sustain and vibration transfer. The 3-piece maple neck reinforced with carbon fiber rods provides exceptional stability; the ultra-thin "C" shape (0.748" at the 1st fret, 0.787" at the 12th) facilitates fast lateral movement without sacrificing control. The 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets on ebony and the 12"-16" compound radius fretboard enable seamless transitions between chords and single-note passages.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Lundgren M7 humbuckers deliver tight, articulate output with exceptional clarity and dynamic range—essential for articulation in technical playing. The master volume and 3-way toggle switch provide straightforward tonal control, while the Hipshot Hardtail bridge machined from solid brass ensures rock-solid tuning stability and precise intonation across all strings.
