Checking Out The Schecter Keith Merrow KM-6 mkIII Legacy

[@WholeLottaBulldog]

Nice to see the Fishman hype train is slowing right down. Lundgrens sound lovely.

[@deskducker]

Pales in comparison to bkp hype

[@lifeofagony1535]

It was between this and the Tao 7. I went with the Tao, the neck and playability was just everything I prefer in a guitar.

[@EulogyfortheAngels]

I’ve played and like both guitars, and would likely lean towards the bolt-on of the Tao.

[@TylerJohnstonGuitar]

Body reminds me a lot of an RG. They should come out with a white one and call it the Bone Merrow

[@karterestill]

For those asking about what happened to the artist model. My theory was that they were going to do a refresh and revamp with new colors and other features in 2024 and Keith just teased that on his IG😅

[@K707OR30]

I had a MKIII standard that I actually bought from Kyle Bull. I traded it in and wish I wouldn’t have honestly. One of the best playing guitars I’ve owned. I may have to get one of these ones now. Also love your shirt, Colleen is rad.

[@pbosche]

So many people have never ended up in a cabin in the woods with the intention to enjoy playing for a week…only to have their 9v battery die with no stores for 100 miles. Give me passive always and forever amen.

[@justinroth3174]

LOL at the high string stuck on the pickup bobbin at 2:17. Might want to lower that neck pickup a bit.

[@3bandEQ]

Looks like the high E broke rather than the string getting stuck on a magnet. Lol

[@justinroth3174]

@@3bandEQwrong. The string goes down (from the bridge) and back up (towards the nut). You can literally see it stuck to the bottom of the pickup.

[@Double_0_7_Strings]

These look dope, but I don’t think I’d choose this over the Artist series I own and massively love. I dig Lundgren, but I definitely prefer a guitar with split coil tones, and that purple and blue burl on the Artist looks insane up close.

[@Jeremoid]

Woaa! watch out for the highest string trapped in the lowest part off the pickup (starting around 2:16) 👀

[@RiffsAndBeards]

Haha yep

[@Jeremoid]

@@RiffsAndBeards let's say is an "easter egg" 🤩

[@NickySayahSina]

I've been eyeballing this guitar since it was released. For me, at that price point, makes me reluctant to pull the trigger. Still a pretty cool guitar and Keith is an awesome player, for sure.

[@SteveMcT]

Sweet! Id love to see you do the new LTD BK600. I really want to get one

[@youWoNtLikeMe04]

I love my schecter C-1 platinum FRS. Very stable tunning, great neck, cool matte finish.

[@givemeajackson]

gorgeous, though i still prefer the mk1 just from the way it looks. that was the start of a new age for schecter.

[@BeatsAndMeats]

I have the Keith Marrow MK1 and it’s utterly fantastic!

[@remuslycan6473]

I have a mk7 mark I and it is stunning

[@zerothemad7383]

have the km7 and its my favorite ive ever played.

[@InfamouslyCantankerous]

I'm going to pick one up I like the trans black I personally don't like the lundgrens but I have a set of BKP juggernauts I think would sound really good in it

[@karterestill]

My only change I'd make to this version is the standard hipshot bridge to an Ibby hipshot bridge. Otherwise, it's a 99% perfect guitar😂 my favorite Schecter Finish is back! And I'm sure we will see some newer KM models in 2024.

[@Turbo-D]

its a schecter, must be good!.. but a bit pricey imo. cheers✌✌

[@DarkwaterUlf]

I like the Poti Position. Hard to find in st models.

[@aas55]

Pointy strats are my fave!

[@Ugur-sp3nw]

I have Schecter Mach with Lundgrens. Those pickups are medium to high output, not low. Something must be wrong if the output is low.

[@bbilman056]

It has a treble bleed on the volume pot. Maybe that’s it

[@karterestill]

Keith and Schecter have made the best guitars ever. Absolute weapons for the studio and stage! I have 2😊

[@matthewparent4231]

I’ve always been curious why Keith parted ways with Seymour Duncan after designing the Nazgul, Pegasus and Sentient? I’m betting he was ready for new adventures but I own a few sets of the Peg/Sent and for 7&8 string guitars they are fantastic!!!! Nice guitar btw and always a great review!!!!

[@WhoAmIWill]

When he was in Alluvial still and opening for AAL, I asked him about it at the merch table and he said he just liked fishmans better at that time.

[@NickySayahSina]

His Seymour Duncan pickup comparison video is still the best out there when trying to figure out which pickup to get. That would be really cool if he designed something with Lundgren.

[@Starch1b2c3d4a]

Money bro

[@JE12334]

Check the used market, I paid $500 for a mk I KM7. I had to drive an hour away to get it but it was worth it.

[@lapax100]

This guitar seems like it has the Mach-6 body and KM-6 Artist neck, both amazing guitars tho

[@ScreaminT81]

That’s about 2400 in Canadian dollars, and still less than some other brands prices for the specs you get

[@Tyler-ry3lk]

Life is better with guitar. Lovers

[@sqlb3rn]

I wish they had it in a 7 string Floyd rose 26.5" scale

[@lucwilson1]

So Keith went from Seymour Duncan to Fishman to Lundgren?

[@grenade.turtle]

Thought the same thing lol

[@florianbenz1295]

It is imho just overprized for its got to offer. I exchanged mine vs another prestige.....

[@nuguyfieri]

It’s Fluff time

[@orphanuprising]

Are the pickups not splittable?

[@FlyingMachete]

Is it a bearing wall behind you?

[@Professional.Bro.777]

The bridge pickup is so close to the bridge it reminds me of Gibson sg models. I bet it sounds fkn bright!

[@ericsmith6633]

I think they did away with the mkiii artist and I’m kinda bummed that they replaced it with this, and the artist was way more bang of a guitar. It was priced the same as this guitar but was specd way better!! So that kinda sucks to be honest. I mean I think this guitar is sweet, but I think it’s downgrade to the mkiii artist.

[@karterestill]

I think we are getting more stuff next year 😊

[@karterestill]

And after typing my comments... he literally just teased the 2024 artist on IG.

[@trumancarter1299]

Absolutely love my Artist..if they do new finishes this year I'll buy another ❤ lol

[@robertdonosobuchner3129]

It's just a great guitar. Any other color would be better for me... But the guitar is great, a riff monster!

[@shubniggurath6464]

The input jack single-handedly ruins it for classical position

[@tommilitello198]

Not many people playing metal like that,or shecters

[@wrwales]

Jamup bro seriously ola fluff and merrow

[@DesolationAudioHTX]

What I'm hearing is, "everything about this guitar is perfect, but the pickups sound like butt." Jupiters it is then!

[@timholtsclaw1393]

Don't waste your money, i have sent two back for poor build quality, total disappointment especially for 2k!! pos.,
