A MK-III Signature: The Radical Evolution of the Keith Merrow Model

The Keith Merrow KM-7 MK-III Artist completes the line of signature models from the Alluvial guitarist with a decidedly modern approach. This MK-III version evolves the design and aesthetics while focusing on a through-neck construction to enhance the "thickness" of the sound, sustain, and presence in the low end. A 7-string crafted for dense riffs, surgical rhythms, and arrangements that need to remain clear even under heavy saturation.

Who Is It For, and What Styles?

This solid body electric guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a stable, precise, and responsive 7-string. Perfect for modern metal, prog, djent, death metal, or any style requiring low tunings and highly controlled pick attack. Its thin neck and upper fret access facilitate technical playing, while the progressive radius helps maintain comfort in both chords and lead.

Sound

The combination of a swamp ash body and ebony fingerboard promotes a fast response, clear attack, and excellent definition in the upper mids, ideal for percussive rhythms. The Poplar Burl top mainly adds a premium visual character, while the through-neck construction (multi-ply wenge/maple/purpleheart with carbon reinforcement) enhances sustain and vibration continuity across the entire range. On the electronics side, the Lundgren M7 (humbuckers) deliver tight lows, articulated mids, and remarkable clarity on the 7th string. The 3-position selector switch allows quick shifts from a rounder neck tone to a sharper bridge tone, complemented by a mini coil-split switch to open up the palette to airier textures.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

For proper protection, the guitar can be paired with the SGR-1C gig bag (sold separately). To maintain the original feel and tension, choose a set of Ernie Ball 7-String strings with gauges .009/.011/.016/.026/.036/.046/.062.
