Frequently asked questions
What is the main structural difference between these guitars?
The KM-7 MK-III is a 7-string right-handed instrument with a 26.5" scale, while the KM-6 MK-III Lefty is a 6-string left-handed guitar. Both feature neck-through construction and the same carbon-fiber-reinforced maple neck with compound radius ebony fretboards.
Are the pickups different between the two models?
Yes. The KM-7 uses Lundgren M7 humbuckers optimized for 7-string clarity and articulation, while the KM-6 uses Lundgren M6 pickups voiced for 6-string aggressive tone with natural compression.
Which guitar suits progressive djent players?
The KM-7 MK-III is purpose-built for djent and extended-range progressive styles; its extra string and longer scale provide the low-end clarity and tension required. The KM-6 is better suited to traditional progressive metal and hard rock within a standard 6-string format.
