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, and are there any issues with playability or tone?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections: finish blemishes on the back edge, finish blemishes at the bottom edge, and a small dent at the headstock tip. These marks are purely superficial and have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity—you get the same performance and sound as a new instrument at a significant discount.
Is this guitar suitable for drop tunings and metal?
Yes. The 28-inch baritone scale, thin C neck profile, neck-through construction with carbon fiber reinforcement, and Lundgren Black Heaven pickup are all optimized for drop tunings, metal, and hard rock. The thick articulate midrange and punchy lows cut through dense mixes typical of these genres.
What is the neck profile, and how does it feel for extended playing?
The thin C profile measures 20mm at the 1st fret and 21mm at the 12th fret, designed for aggressive riff work and precise lead playing. Combined with the satin black open pore finish's naturally tactile feel, the neck encourages extended playing sessions without hand fatigue.
What pickup is installed, and can I change it?
The Lundgren Black Heaven bridge humbucker is a single-pickup configuration with a killswitch for on/off control. The guitar features a bridge pickup only; a full description of replacement options is not included in the product details.
How does the open pore finish affect tone compared to a sealed finish?
The satin black open pore finish allows the mahogany body and ash top to resonate freely, producing a warmer, more organic tone with better sustain compared to polyurethane-sealed guitars. The finish also responds dynamically to pick attack and playing dynamics.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
