Of all the guitars I ever played , Schecters are the best for the price you pay. I got a cheap b2, brand new with FR for $200 and this guitar stays in tune and plays great. I cant wait to get a 7 string . I always wanted 1 Thanks Schecter for making great guitars affordable
Man, you sold me on the merits of this guitar. I love the idea of taking the controls out of the way of the picking hand. I have a volume pedal, and would probably use that for swells if I had this in my lineup. Not to mention, you actually requested a deeper cutaway for this model. That's my main problem with some Schecters, not having a deep enough cutaway. That's been a deal killer for me for a long time... this guitar would change my outlook on Schecters of this type. With the pickups, I could see myself using this guitar for a lot of different music... though I'm not sure I'd like the Nazgul using a clean tone. I'd have to try one first, I guess!
Jackson/charvel have been the worst at putting the fucking volume control so close to the bridge pickup! ive owned several and it always pissed me off to the point I wouldn't play them! Id put it in the corner, and play something else
Looking for a 7 string and this guitar looks nice, was thinking about the SLS series but I think I like this model best, would love to try one out! Where can I try this guitar out or would I have to order one and if so is there any try out period to see if I like this guitar? I know some stores let you have sometime to try equipment out! Thanks and how much is the guitar?
Thanks for clearing that up, yeah I looked at the date and said what 2 years ago? I don't remember this comment. That all makes sense. Bernie Jr makes incredible guitars, but like you said Schecter can do it for cheaper and make a sig model for consumers. And normally id don't like sig models, but Merrow is a boss. Im a big BCR fan, well vintage and early USA, up to class axe era, although I own several class axes. Keith Merrow is sick, Pillars was my ringtone for like a couple years, so much so that after i changed it, when the song would come on driving, or even at home, I would go to answer my phone hah. I love Keith's style so sick, just thought it was super awesome that he played JR's guitars, than any other brand. Like lets say brand x or brand z that do absolutely nothing for me.
how did keith merrow get where he is? Not saying he's not a killer guitar player, I was subbed to him back when all he did was playthroughs on Agiles. my question is, how did he go from being a dude playing guitar in his house to being all famous and having his own signature guitar and shit?
+LevitatorMusic You mean you don't know? You gotta make the deal man. That means you gotta know someone else that made the deal. HAIL SATAN! J/K :) He and Jeff have been friends for a while. He also works for Seymour Duncan. From what I've heard he has a bit of a rep among good players. I've heard good players say Keith is the best player they've worked with. Keith is in with the cool kids. Not what you know but who you know. In Keith's case it's what you know and who you know. Dude makes killer pups and killer riffs.
This guitar seems perfect for me but I just cannot agree to buying a guy's signature if he's not a Favorite player of mines. Keith is exceptionally skilled but, not to his fault, he hasnt inspired my playing or anything notably.
Awesome guy,and seriously,he made one of the coolest signature I've EVER seen.Congrats Keith,you deserve it all!

A FR version with maple neck and active w sustainiac would be nice:) LOVE the matt white color!!
Perfect as usual, Keith...good job!
was waiting to buy a 7 string of schecter, but sls series did not come quite right, I was meant to find KM-7 out, splendid work :)
Super excited for this to land in the UK.
one of the best guitars you can buy so far.
Excellent job Keith!
The song is called Pillars of Creation, by Keith of course
wonderful! very good! amazing!
I love Keith's guitar's body, but the neck of Jeff's sig. is just amazing..
I have the same Knob issue. I can't play strats because my palm muting constantly turns down the volume...
Killer guitar KEITH !!!
awesome specs.

Song?
Put a deposit on a left handed model of this guitar!!! i cant wait to get it in 3 months.
plz make a 8 string version of this guitar also a JEFF LOOMIS 8 version
great to see you treated that way, it is totally justified. So now, when are you touring EUROPE with Jeff?
Bought mine from my old bandmate for 500$ in flawless condition.
So is he done with Bernie Rico Jr or did Schecter just want a piece of the action?
