Limitless potential. The KM-7's pickups have been custom-designed with Fishman to ensure that no matter the frequency you play at, you can enjoy clarity and fullness of voice. They're equipped with a massive tonal range that's capable of delivering both booming depth and ear-splitting sharpness. So however you want to play, they've got you covered. And being heard will never be a problem. These high-output electronics are perfect for playing at loud volumes without ever sacrificing sound quality.
Truly terrific tone
Heavy metal is extreme. So you can sure as hell count on Schecter and Keith Merrow to create a guitar that delivers extremely far-reaching tone. The left handed KM-7 has been meticulously crafted with six different tonewoods, providing a tonal palette that's certain to eclipse all others.
Enjoy maximum depth and tremendous definition in each note thanks to the Schecter KM-7's ebony fingerboard. A broad dynamic range is brought to the table by a swamp ash body with a burl laminate top. And vibrant, unique sound is added by a tremendous 9-piece wenge, maple, and purpleheart neck. This really is all-encompassing tone.
Supreme for shredding
The ultimate guitar to make your soloing sound sharper than ever. The KM-7's neck and fingerboard has been intricately designed, maximising playability. 24 frets mean you can explore two full octaves of notes, giving you more choice in what you can play. And you'll have no difficulty in reaching that top 24th fret, either. Because a double cutaway body provides uninhibited access to the top of the scale.
That's not all. A slick ebony fingerboard allows for rapid movement from fret to fret. So playing at high speed becomes easy. Pair this with a comfortable neck profile that makes it easier to hit every note, and you've got the perfect package to unleash greatness in every solo you play.
By a metal guitarist, for metal guitarists
Keith Merrow knows metal. The American has worked in pretty much every field within the heavy metal music industry. He has been a songwriter, performing artist, producer, teacher - the list goes on. Keith rose to prominence after debuting his metal gear demonstrations on YouTube in 2008, showcasing his supreme knowledge. These caught the eye of Schecter, premium guitar manufacturers, who signed Merrow up as a collaborator.
In recent years, the company has become renowned for producing top of the range metal guitars, in no small part because of Keith's excellent expert input. You can be certain that with a Schecter-Merrow collaboration, you're buying a guitar magnificently suited to the metal genre. Seether, Avenged Sevenfold and The Cure all use Schecter instruments. It's about time you were too.
