Schecter built the Keith Merrow KM-6 MK-III Standard as a production-level entry in the KM signature series, positioning it below the artist-grade MK-III Artist while retaining the core specifications developed with the guitarist. The model shipped with a bolt-on construction and a swamp ash body, finished in Stealth Grey with black 1-ply binding and a radius top contour.
The three-piece maple neck incorporated carbon fiber reinforcement rods and carried an ebony fretboard with a 25.5" (648mm) scale, 24 X-Jumbo frets, and a 12"-16" compound radius. Neck thickness measured .763" (19.4mm) at the first fret and .822" (20.9mm) at the twelfth, profiled as an Ultra Thin 'C'. The Ernie Ball Compensated Nut sat at 1.653" (42mm) width, and a 2-way adjustable truss rod with heel-access spoke wheel allowed neck relief adjustments without full disassembly. A Schecter Custom Hardtail bridge with string-through-body anchoring paired with Schecter Diamond KM humbuckers at both positions; a volume control, 3-way pickup switch, and 2-way coil-split toggle governed the signal path. Hardware throughout was finished in black, with metal knurled knobs secured by set screws. Schecter tuners, Red 'Predator' fretboard inlays, and glow-in-the-dark side dot markers completed the specification. The guitar was strung from the factory with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky .010–.046.
Owners consulting this record for setup or replacement parts — including nut swaps, bridge saddle sourcing, or truss rod adjustments — should work with a qualified guitar technician familiar with string-through hardtail platforms and compound-radius fretboards.
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.
