ESP LTD KS M-6 Evertune Ken Susi Metallic Silver Guitar
The KS M-6 is engineered for studio tracking and mixing applications where tuning stability and articulate tone definition are non-negotiable. The Evertune bridge maintains perfect intonation across takes—critical when layering multiple guitar passes or syncing with click tracks during high-gain sessions. The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups with active electronics deliver note clarity that sits perfectly in dense mixes, while the neck-through mahogany construction produces sustain and resonance that translates cleanly through recording chains. The metallic silver finish rounds out an instrument equally suited to modern metal, progressive rock, or demanding session work.
Playability & Tracking Response
The 3-piece maple neck with thin U contour supports precise finger placement across extended recording sessions, while the macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 XJ frets and 350mm radius enables clean articulation for both rhythm takes and intricate lead passes. At 8 lbs 7 oz, the balanced weight distribution reduces fatigue during long studio hours, and the 42mm molded nut width maintains consistent string spacing for predictable playing feel from take to take.
Recording Tone & Pickup Design
The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups—Alnico neck and Ceramic bridge—with active electronics capture exceptional note definition at session volumes and deliver sustain that records with clarity through distortion and modulation effects. The push/pull volume and tone controls with 3-way switch provide real-time tonal shaping during tracking, minimizing the need for extensive post-processing, while the neck-through mahogany construction contributes inherent resonance that records with natural harmonic character.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Evertune bridge and why does it matter?
The Evertune F-model bridge uses a mechanical locking system to maintain rock-solid tuning stability even during extreme bending, divebombs, and aggressive playing techniques. This eliminates the need for constant retuning between takes or during live sets, making the guitar especially reliable for metal and shred work where pitch accuracy is critical.
What pickups are in this guitar and can I get different voicings?
The KS M-6 uses Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers with an Alnico neck pickup and Ceramic bridge pickup paired with active electronics. Fishman Fluence pickups offer multiple voicing options that can be accessed by holding the selector switch, giving you tonal variety without swapping pickups.
Is this guitar suitable for jazz or blues?
No—the KS M-6 is purpose-built for metal, progressive rock, and shred. The aggressive pickup voicings, high-gain clarity, and punchy tone profile are optimized for distortion-heavy styles rather than the smooth, dynamic response preferred in jazz and blues.
What comes with the guitar?
The KS M-6 ships with a molded hardshell case (MH guitar form fit), D'Addario XL120 strings (.009 gauge), and the guitar itself. No additional accessories or effects are included.
How does the neck feel, and is it good for fast playing?
The thin U-contour 3-piece maple neck with 350mm radius and 24 XJ frets is designed for fast, comfortable access across the fretboard and supports both precision technique and aggressive bending. The 42mm molded nut width provides balanced string spacing for lead work, and the 25.5" scale is the industry standard for metal and hard rock.
