Sound & Tone
The 28-inch baritone scale keeps low tunings tight and defined, and the mahogany body with ash top pushes thick midrange and punchy lows, while the neck-through maple construction and ebony fretboard add sustain and note separation. The single Lundgren humbucker is articulate and present, tracking pick attack cleanly through high-gain riffing without turning muddy, and the killswitch invites stutter effects. Best suited to modern metal, djent and progressive playing, though the ebony board and hardtail bridge also keep clean and lead passages clear.
Schecter KM-6 MK-III EX Guitar in Satin Black Open Pore
The KM-6 MK-III EX is engineered for recording and studio tracking, offering exceptional responsiveness and tactile feedback with its sleek satin black open pore finish. The thin C neck profile cuts through dense arrangements with aggressive riffs or precise lead work, while premium hardware and neck-through construction deliver rock-solid tuning stability across extended takes. Tonally, this instrument produces thick, articulate midrange and punchy lows that translate excellently to tape and DAW—the open pore finish allows wood to resonate freely, yielding a warmer, more organic tone compared to polyurethane-sealed guitars that sits naturally in dense mixes.
Playability & Feel
Built on a neck-through design with a hard maple 3-piece neck featuring 2 carbon fiber reinforcement rods, this guitar offers superior sustain and resonance for consistent tracked performances. The thin C profile (20mm at the 1st fret, 21mm at the 12th) combined with a 42mm Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets on a 12"-16" compound radius ebony fretboard enables fast session work across the entire 28-inch baritone scale, reducing hand fatigue during long recording days.
Tone & Electronics
The Lundgren Black Heaven bridge humbucker paired with a single killswitch for on/off control delivers articulate, punchy tonality with excellent clarity and presence ideal for layering in a mix. The satin black open pore finish allows the mahogany body with ash top to resonate naturally, producing warmth and organic sustain that captures pick attack dynamics and playing nuance essential for compelling recordings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this guitar?
B-Stock means this KM-6 MK-III EX is fully functional and carries complete manufacturer warranty, but has minor cosmetic imperfections: a couple of finish blemishes on the back edge, finish blemishes at the bottom edge, and a small dent at the tip of the headstock. These marks do not affect playability, tone, or structural integrity.
Is this guitar suitable for standard tuning or only drop tunings?
The KM-6 MK-III EX is engineered primarily for metal, djent, hard rock, and drop-tuning applications; it excels in those genres and tuning ranges. Its 28-inch baritone scale and thick tone profile are optimized for lower, heavier tunings rather than traditional standard or open tunings.
What pickup does this guitar have?
The KM-6 MK-III EX features a single Lundgren Black Heaven bridge humbucker paired with a killswitch for on/off control, delivering articulate, punchy tonality with excellent clarity and presence.
How does the thin C neck profile compare to other metal guitars?
The thin C profile measures 20mm at the 1st fret and 21mm at the 12th fret, creating an effortless playing experience for fast riffs and precise lead work. Combined with extra-jumbo stainless steel frets and a 12-to-16-inch compound radius ebony fretboard, it favors aggressive and technical playing styles.
How does the open pore finish affect the tone?
The satin black open pore finish allows the mahogany body and ash top to resonate freely, producing warmer, more organic sustain compared to polyurethane-sealed guitars. This finish also provides a naturally tactile, encouraging feel for extended playing sessions.
