Schecter KM-7 (Keith Merrow) Signature Thread

[Zado]

Is there plans to make an Import MKIII or is that going to strictly be USA model?

There will be.

 

[Koryv86]

I'm aiming for the black neck through import version too.

 

[Zado]

Da imports.

 

[Ivars V]

OOooh my! This goes in my wishlist once they hit the market!

 

[Anquished]

These look super cool.

 

[Koryv86]

So these are MIK imports alread?? When will they hit the market? I need one of theese for sure.

I would see them to be represented in summer NAMM, and hit the stores in august or september. That's usually case when something is released around spring/summer. Someone correct this if I'm wrong.

Whoa whoa.... you're telling me THESE are the imports? Holy shit they look fantastic! I will absolute be first in line for these if this is set in stone what they look like, specs and all.

So, are the guitars hanging on the wall Schecter's import answer to the Aries? Bevel, reversed headstock, fan fret option, etc

I’m not a fan of the battery compartment cutaway into the neck-thru construction on the MKIII.

 

[Joomis]

Will there be a 6 string version?

 

[TedintheShed]

Will there be a 6 string version?

Yes.

Also bolt on necks as well.

 

[Joomis]

Those are crazy good looking

15 minutes into Alluvial and shred and he gives you this look

 

[Stuck_in_a_dream]

These are AWESOME, I want one, NOW!!!! Maybe even 2 (angling laptop screen away from wife)
My only concern is consistency, will the actual production models out in August or whatever be as good? I really hope so, Schecter, hope you're reading this.

Any word on a price point? I'm guessing around $1300-$1500. I see a bolt on in my future.

Im guessing closer to $2k honestly. Id be very suprised if it came out under 1500.

 

[diagrammatiks]

Are they doing imports for both versions?

They're the imports that were sent to KM. So, in other words they're the absolute best of the lot and likely are better than what will be available for sale generally. They're not going to send their own artist ones with finish flaws, major setup issues, etc.

Schecter imports have decent to above average QC for major brands, but they won't be flawless. I'm waiting for the first person on SSO to get one complains that the setup isn't perfect out of the box, or there's a paint chip inside the control cavity, or the string alignment is off due to a less than perfect nut, and wants to return it (because don't we see a thread like that once a week? ).

Since the MKII with fishman listed $1469,MKIII will probably over $1500.
