Description
Designed with input straight from Keith Merrow, the KM-6 is a metal-ready machine built for players who need speed, precision, and low-end clarity in equal measure. The swamp ash body carries a flamed maple top with an arched contour and black multi-ply binding, finished in Trans White Satin (TWS) for a look that’s understated but far from plain.
- Set-neck construction with Ultra Access joint for unrestricted upper-fret reach
- 3-piece maple neck in an Ultra Thin ‘C’ profile, topped with an ebony fretboard
- 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets across a 12″-16″ compound radius, with offset/reverse dot inlays and glow-in-the-dark side markers for stage visibility
- 25.5″ scale, 1.653″ Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut, and a 2-way adjustable truss rod
Tone comes from a matched pair of Seymour Duncan ‘Blackened’ Black Winter pickups, a KM Exclusive voicing built for tight low-end and cutting high-gain leads without losing note definition. Controls are kept simple: a push-pull volume and 3-way switch, all mounted with black hardware including a Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-thru-body stringing for extra sustain. Schecter locking tuners keep tuning stable under drop tunings and aggressive picking, and the guitar ships strung with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky #2221 (.010-.046) strings.
Built right-handed and manufactured in South Korea, the KM-6 is ready for stage or studio the moment it comes out of the box. A hardshell case (565656SGR-1C) is available separately for players who want matching protection on the road.
