Beautifully Designed Signature Electric from ESP

Prominent metal-core shredder Ken Susi from Unearth has teamed up with ESP to bring you a 6-string version of the popular KS-M7. The LTD Ken Susi KS-M6 is a beautifully designed, hard-hitting electric with fine appointments and features that put searing tone in your hands. Featuring an all-mahogany body finished in a gorgeous gloss, the KS-M6 is stage-ready. A smooth, playable thin "U" maple neck with Macassar ebony fingerboard is primed for blistering leads and bare-knuckle power chords. A pair of Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers with push/pull options put a massive array of hot humbucking tone at your fingertips. And an EverTune constant tension bridge provides incredible tone support and stellar sustain.

Humbucking heaven!

The Fishman Fluence Humbuckers in the KS-M6 continue to win over devotees who have fallen in love with their hum-free, pure tone. The Modern Humbucker Ceramic in the bridge position delivers aggressive, up-front tone. The Modern Humbucker Alnico in the neck position offers Alnico-driven musicality and explosive voicing for leads as well as power chords. In short, this pairing delivers all the hot humbucking tone modern metal players need and is a favorite among guitarists here at Sweetwater.

Innovative bridge keeps you in tune

The KS-M6 is built to shred and with the EverTune bridge, you can shred away with the confidence that you will stay in tune even when you are attacking the strings. With a string-through-body design, the EverTune features a unique bridge and saddle design that quite literally locks your strings' tuning down and keeps it there. Bend away, power chord with gusto, and lay down blistering leads until your fingers ache — the EverTune bridge will keep you perfectly in tune!

This guitar looks amazing and sounds really good. It was my first guitar with an Evertune bridge so I didn't really know what to expect. Play metal all day long and it stays in tune. Amazing. That said, I find that you lose a little of the vibrato and tone with lead playing. That's the trade off I guess with new technology. The pickups are super clear and sound amazing. Crunch away!!!! Shout out to my sales engineer Ray Gonzalez, who is super knowledgeable and always is professional and takes time to answer all your questions. Very happy with my 1st purchase from Sweetwater.

This beauty not only looks spectacular, but sounds outstandingly good. I had been looking at this model since it was announced, finally decided to take the plunge and couldn't be happier about it.

An excellent deal! For the cost and what you get, it's a fantastic guitar with a hardshell case.

Since I've had this guitar for a couple of months now, I figured it would be a good time to write this review. This guitar is great in its build and setup. No issues with intonation, action, or neck. The Evertune bridge took me a little bit to become accustomed to, but now I don't even notice it and hardly have to tune my guitar. Although the color and finish is nice, the pickguard shows dust and dirt without much playing. I wipe off after I play to counter this. There is one minor crack in the pickguard, but it's not that much of an issue. Compared to an American Strat, it's harder to hit fast bends and larger bends which can be annoying. I don't have a definite opinion on the tone since I mostly play through amp sims but I've been able to get a variety tones fairly easy. I'll be putting many more hours of practice into this guitar.
