I actually did commission Satan for this guitar. He nailed it...(to the cross). Cool review and all but I just miss the warmth of your beard upon my chest at night. 3/10 whats ur tuninning
Honest question... I've been eyeing an unnecessary purchase and am torn between Schecter and PRS. I'd love to stay under $800. What I want is a physically SOLID guitar with a fixed bridge. I've watched a ton of review videos of Schecter guitars where the player says that the Schecter guitars are so satisfyingly so. Do you find this to be true? I love that I see a good number of Schecters between $400 and $600 and video reviews of those models are very positive. My two electrics are both 80's Ibanez RoadStar and RG, both very nice but I want to own a hardtail guitar and want to try a different brand. What model, if any, of yours impresses you in this way? What model would you recommend? Thanks!
Seems like you Schecter guys can answer a question I have.. I was thinking of picking up the USA custom shop made Pro version of this guitar. But that costs $3.5k . I was wondering if it's worth paying more than twice for that when this import version comes with literally the same specs and appointments. Heck this import version has a through neck while the custom shop one has a bolt- on one. No idea why.
My main squeeze is a Schecter E-1 Custom Special Edition and it is the best guitar I’ve played (aside from the 3-way switch needing a replacement after 6 months). And that Keith Merrow looks and sounds amazing.
I got a KM6 MkII on a Musicians Friend Stupid Deal of the Day. The first thing I fell in love with was the Fishman pickups. Even without the three way tone selector, they're incredibly versatile.
Whoah Fluff played quartal jazz chords immediately after playing an homage to “Long Train Running” lol that was unexpected. This guitar looks sick for a variety of genres.
Awesome looking fiddle. This could merely be a coincidence but it looks heavily inspired by a Mayones. The Duvell in particular. That's absolutely NOT a bad thing to be sure. Getting a Duvell 6 with one of those awesome poplar burst tops is a life goal for me, but it'd require me to hit the lottery first sadly. I love Keith's signature guitars. The specs have always seemed tailor made for what I'm looking for in a guitar. Hipshot or similar fixed bridge, HH configuration with good passives, ebony fretboard with 24 jumbo frets(preferably stainless steel), with luminlays and good locking tuners. Pretty much my ideal specs at this point in my guitar tastes. I had one of the first KM6s that came out. It was the trans white burst model and I absolutely loved that guitar, played fantastic and looked even better. I'm a real sucker for white guitars, especially quilted transparent white whether it's a cap/veneer, etc. Sadly I had to sell it to fund another purchase but I've been on the lookout for another one like it, but this one is definitely piquing my interest like that white KM6 did originally. I'll have to play one when I get a chance. Never used those hipshot cylinder style locking tuners but they seem pretty neat. Good video and great work on the guitar, Keith.
I have the 7 string mkiii and it is just amazing, took a little getting used to the fishmans, cause I had his other models with the nazgul sentient pups, but after playing for a few days, the palm mutes just come alive. Love it
Not trying to troll, I'm just on the fence with spending $1700 on a Korean guitar. For basically the same price range you can get a made in Japan Ibanez Prestige. I bought a KM7 MKii shortly after they first came out and had to send it back for QC issues. I have been unsure about them ever since. But they do have every feature I would like to have on a guitar.
It's a shameless copy. Completely jacked the headstock shape and neck. However you could argue Mayones just copied Blackmachine. The chain of inspiration never ends, all the way back to the first Strat.
@@spoonerluv how is it a shameless copy? He's endorsed by schecter and they built him a guitar that he wanted to specs he wanted? You wouldn't do the same?
My biggest question is how does this compare to the KM6 USA custom shop? Is it worth the extra $1500-1800 for the USA? Amazing guitar and thanks for making these vids!
Saw dimebag with Pantera, saw yingwie Malmsteen live, saw satriani , Steve Vai and disagree with you on sooooo many levels. Good guitarist for sure though
With so many guitars, amps, and music equipment. What do you do for protection? Do you spend extra for a really high end security system? Or do you have it included in your home insurance? Or maybe you got some musical instrument insurance? Also, what do your other youtuber friends do in regards to this? Would be super helpful/interesting! Idk if you've answered this before
Since your STL Tonehub review, they opened the floodgates and made all the existing packs available for trial download. I’ve been trying to work my way through each of them but there’s just way too much stuff (a lot of which feels duplicated across multiple packs) to run through and still pay close attention to every little detail. Which packs do you think provide the best value/are most worthy of spending some extra time with before the trial expires?
@@langsfordmusicltd283 apparently mine will arrive tmrw! What color did you get? I got this same black one Also,how do you like the mk2? I had a mk1 before and I loved it
@@pistolpete7280 hey mate...bro you are so lucky!! I actually have a Nick Johnston on order too! But , being in NZ, things take an eternity to get here...and even more so with this shutdown etc..

I’m on the fence between the Waza TAE and the UA Ox Box. I’ll be using it mostly to attenuate my tube amps for home use in the immediate future, with the possibility of recording in the future. What are your thoughts having used both?
Thank you for the video Fluff. I'm getting a new guitar that has the open core pick ups in it, and I was on the fence about picking up the KM set for the bridge pick up. This video has sold me on that decision. Thank you so much.
I got the MK1 in 7 trans white and it destroys!! I did have to swap out the Seymour duncan nazgul though, didnt really care for the sound/tone. I swapped them for Instrumental SFTY3-7s which i highly recommend to anyone
Nice I have the km7 mk2 only thing I don't like about it is its to thin for installing an evertune bridge and quickly lost interest in the black finish but that's personal just tired of red and black guitars these days. Been trying to sell it for months because I want an evertune bridge problem there is 95% of guitars with an evertune are black and red🥴 oh and mine had the fishman pickups I wanted the nazgul set but got a 200$ sale price match drop and was so excited I didn't even notice until I got home.
He used to play diablo 3 but I haven't really seen him log on in a while. Had a look at his profile he's playing far cry 5 little bit of cod warzone. Fluff you need some gamer friends to play with you have 0 friend on your list 😟
The "cheaper" version of this guitar also offers Fishman Pickups, right? A pickup with just one voicing... is that correct? Wasn't too sure if this is correct.
It is only my opinion.Lots of modern metal guitars has a bad clean tone.In this case when he was playing funk Fender would sound much better.Metal sound is perfect.But only Gibson and Fender has this something in a clean tone I like.
I actually did commission Satan for this guitar. He nailed it...(to the cross). Cool review and all but I just miss the warmth of your beard upon my chest at night. 3/10 whats ur tuninning
And now I have Destructions Nailed to the Cross in my head. Thank you Keith!
"to the cross"
HA ZINGGG!
I just ordered the KM-7 M3 artist and can not wait to play it. I'm upgrading from a 400 ibanez to this beast!!!
I Guess I'll Suffer did you get your km mkiii? How is it? How do u find the feel of the neck? Is it grainy like in the pictures?
Great guitar; bad choice of words.
NICE! Would love to get my hands on one!
No way! I just got the KM7 Artist version over the weekend! I’m absolutely blown away. I could stare at the back of it all day.
Glad to see you supporting Five Watt. Keith has one of the most knowledgable UA-cam channels out there. It's always a treat.
I'm a schecter guy I own 7 schecters and it's so damn hard to beat a schecter in terms of price and quality.
Yessir. I myself have 6 and they can’t be beat for the money. And even the schecter made pickups sound great
I had bought an Omen 8 string guitar from Schecter, and that guitar is a very good type of guitar in balancing the guitar's quality and price.

I have each iteration of Km7s and the mk III Artist is my absolute favorite of any Schecter.
i see you with the five watt world merch
Best guitar channel on UA-cam
"The Kieth Merrow signature guitar feels like you're playing a Ferrari that Satan commissioned..." LOL
The best marketing slogan for any guitar
the tuners on this guitar are the best ever design .. they get bumped they dont turn. out of tune.. very smart

Fluff comin full circle with a Schecter demo! This thing sounds awesome
“I’m riffs Pearson gear”, haven’t seen this one before from auto-generated CC’s take on, “riffs, beards, and gear”
Awesome looking fiddle. This could merely be a coincidence but it looks heavily inspired by a Mayones. The Duvell in particular. That's absolutely NOT a bad thing to be sure.

Good video and great work on the guitar, Keith.
Waza Tube Amp Expander! My favorite and most used item in my entire setup. It's such a monster of features. Nice video brother!!!
I have his mkii, and a set of all his pickups in some form in all my guitars.. I'm a fan boy for sure
I have the 7 string mkiii and it is just amazing, took a little getting used to the fishmans, cause I had his other models with the nazgul sentient pups, but after playing for a few days, the palm mutes just come alive. Love it
And the So Strange I Remember You lick! Man covering all the bases in this demo!
I got the blue crimson km7 and yeah the quality, comfort and of course the sound are all phenomenal.
The jazz music that he has playing in the background is so soothing lol

That guitar looks and sounds so bad ass! Thanks for demoing it!
The details in the finish are gorgeous.
nice little thrice tribute at the start, sounded awesome
Thanks for putting this out there! Very helpful!
So strange I remember you in protest of a prayer!!!!!!
I thought he played a thrice riff lol
Deadbolt was in there too
playing thrice as that opening bit of demo was inspired, you gangstaaaa
Just ordered one of these bad boys this morning 🔥
Best demo song I've heard from you. Extreme metal fits you well!
Gawwwwd dayummmmm your mix sounds AMAAAAAZINGGGG
Is anyone else getting a Mayones vibe with this guitar build?
It's a shameless copy. Completely jacked the headstock shape and neck. However you could argue Mayones just copied Blackmachine. The chain of inspiration never ends, all the way back to the first Strat.
@@spoonerluv how is it a shameless copy? He's endorsed by schecter and they built him a guitar that he wanted to specs he wanted? You wouldn't do the same?
@@bradhargis2261 also Keith Merrow was signed with Mayones before Schecter and SPEC'D the Duvell!!!! But ultimately went with Schecter
Absolutely love the KM7 III!
My biggest question is how does this compare to the KM6 USA custom shop? Is it worth the extra $1500-1800 for the USA? Amazing guitar and thanks for making these vids!
Dude...that amp though!....that amp is beautiful!
Yeah, white engls are damn sexy.
That rythim gallop at the end! Nice!
The neck and the back are so beautiful
What about the p*ssy and the crack?
I love the little bit of Thrice you did there ^_^
This guitar is awesome. I played it two days ago.
Looking into getting the 7 string version soon. Can't wait.
That guitar sounds amazing! Great review.
Keith Merrow and Jeff Loomis are the best 2 guitarist of all time and when they play together there is no better sound to ever exist in this universe.
Go check out Alluvial. Just as amazing but with Wes and Keith. If you haven't already but yes, I need more Conquering Dystopia!
Saw dimebag with Pantera, saw yingwie Malmsteen live, saw satriani , Steve Vai and disagree with you on sooooo many levels. Good guitarist for sure though
Sick playing. Sounds amazing!
That guitar tone is fatter than Mom after a visit to the Golden Corral.
Nice 5 watt world Tee ... and great playing..
Did he just play a lick from so strange i remember you by thrice
That Thrice riff took me back a bit....

Killer demo man.. shout out to @fivewattworld
How does the tunning hold? And how do you think the pickups would do for lead tone (hi-gain (ish))?
MR.FLUFF THE FLUFFANATOR it was good sir thank you
Nice video, how do you like the Boss Wazacraft Superextender compared to the UA OX unit? Stay safe
i thought at first your playing stay by lisa loeb at clean tone sound check
Is the neck smooth? Or is it grainy coz it looks grainy. How comfortable is it?
I have that in a 7 string. Best guitar I own by far
Same here! Love my mkiii 7 string!
You have the Artist model?
I got the MK1 in 7 trans white and it destroys!! I did have to swap out the Seymour duncan nazgul though, didnt really care for the sound/tone. I swapped them for Instrumental SFTY3-7s which i highly recommend to anyone

How much is the weight of this guitar?
Lovely axe. Beautiful im a heavy version.

Check out Solar Guitars, you might be able to find a fairly cheap guitar equipped with an evertune there
How you liking that Boss Ry? assume full demo is on the way
Are the frets stainless steel?

24 X-Jumbo Stainless Steel
Did you change your intro? the tone is different.
Is schecter getting their guitar back?
No Keith pulled some strings and Fluff gets to keep this one.

Are you talking about the indonesian version? it's equipped with Schecter's km pickups. Not Fishmans but actually pretty decent set!
This guitar it's gorgeous, I'd kill for one with a 5 way switch.
You kind of get more than that because of the toggle switch with 3 different modes
