Description

Schecter built the Keith Merrow KM-7 Mk-III Hybrid LH as a left-handed, seven-string signature instrument positioned within its artist collaboration line. The Mk-III Hybrid designation placed it as a refined iteration of the KM-7 platform, constructed in South Korea with a neck-thru-body configuration featuring Ultra Access at the heel joint.

The guitar was built around a mahogany body with a radius top and black single-ply binding. Its three-piece maple neck, reinforced with carbon fiber rods, ran a 26.5-inch scale to a maple fretboard fitted with 24 X-jumbo stainless steel frets over a 12-to-16-inch compound radius. The 48mm Ernie Ball Compensated Nut and Ultra Thin 'C' profile — measuring .748 inches at the first fret and .787 inches at the twelfth — defined the playing geometry. A two-way adjustable truss rod was accessible via a heel-mounted spoke wheel. Offset and reverse aluminum circle inlays with black dot accents ran the length of the board, with Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dots for low-light orientation. A Hipshot Hardtail bridge with string-through-body anchoring and Schecter locking tuners handled the hardware duties, all finished in black. Electronics consisted of two Fishman Fluence Keith Merrow humbuckers routed through a single volume control and three-way switch, powered by a 9-volt clip-in battery compartment. The instrument shipped without a case.

Owners with questions about setup, fretwork, or sourcing compatible hardware — including Hipshot Hardtail components, Fishman Fluence battery leads, or Ernie Ball seven-string gauges — should consult a qualified guitar technician familiar with extended-range instruments.

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.

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.

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.
