Schecter KM-7 (Keith Merrow) Signature Thread

[Nightside]

The fishman’s are pretty meh in my opinion. They sound muffled? That’s the best word I can describe them. It’s good but sounds like someone put a sheet over it.

Good to pair with a Blackstar in the winter when you need a blanket as well.

This is funnily accurate

Always found it interesting how people described the Merrows as muffled or dark when the pickups they're based on (The Classics) are some of the brightest pickups I've tried lol

Although I can see why I guess, one of his favorite pickups is the Invader and he helped design the Nazgul and those pickups were indeed dark.

Also +1 on the Blackstar hate. They're the amps of all time that tried to Youtube Influencer themselves into reverence lol, also had to copy someone else's design,,, then again, that's guitar gear for you. Everyone's ripping off each other.

To keep those tones warm and fuzzy.

I had a couple of Blackstars and I never could get a decent sound out of them. They have this muffled sound that's impossible to remedy.

Imho their clean sounding lines are cool and quite affordable in europe, but yeah, the higain stuff is somehow affected by that "record-like" sound, which is a mixture of compression/lack of air and ear fatiguing frequencies/ congested mids that may sound cool at home (in some cases), but in a band are totally worthless features.

Their HT MKIII stuff sounds worse than their MKII models

No clue why anyone would want once of those when an EVH Iconic is the same price and DSL100 is even cheaper

 

[Rob Joyner]

Those "custom" KMs are import models that go for around $2.3k and take 7+ months to be built.
Too much if you ask me. You can get a Hapas for almost the same price and same specs.

He's not doing anything with SD because he talks sht about them all the time. Actually he talks sht about brands, bands and musician all the time. Weird dude.

My gosh that is nice. I’d buy one but I’m not paying $5k for it.

It's not 5k since it's WMI made. Since I am not a frequent SSO poster and didn't know we don't buy guitars, I ordered one

I didn’t know that. Didn’t know you could order them now either. Where did you place order? Cultfx website?

Edit: yup on the website. I’m super tempted to order one now since it’s not $5k.

How is a signature guitar deal money wise? I'm not seeing KM being very active. Does he have a normal day job or does the Schecter deal maybe pay the bills?
