Schecter built the Keith Merrow KM-6 MK-III Standard as a production-level entry in the signature series developed in collaboration with the progressive metal guitarist Keith Merrow. The MK-III Standard sat below the Artist tier in the KM-6 line and was manufactured in Indonesia. It was offered in Toxic Smoke Green with black hardware.
The guitar was constructed with a bolt-on neck joint, a swamp ash body with a burl top finished with black 1-ply binding and a radius top contour. The five-piece roasted maple and maple neck incorporated carbon fiber reinforcement rods and carried an ebony fretboard with aluminum offset/reverse circle inlays and glow-in-the-dark side dot markers. The neck profile was Schecter's Ultra Thin 'C' shape, measuring .763" at the first fret and .822" at the twelfth. The 25.5" scale fretboard ran a 12"-16" compound radius and carried 24 X-Jumbo frets. An Ernie Ball Compensated Nut sat at 42mm width, and a 2-way adjustable truss rod was accessible via a heel-mounted spoke wheel. Schecter Diamond KM humbuckers occupied both the bridge and neck positions, wired to a volume control, 3-way pickup selector, and a 2-way coil split toggle. The Schecter Custom Hardtail bridge used string-through-body stringing, and Schecter tuners were fitted throughout. Knobs were metal knurled units secured with set screws. The guitar shipped strung with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky .010–.046 strings.
Owners requiring setup assistance, fret work, or guidance on sourcing compatible replacement parts — including the Ernie Ball Compensated Nut, string-through hardtail saddles, or 42mm-width nut blanks — should consult a qualified guitar technician or luthier familiar with extended-range bolt-on instruments.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
