Keith Merrow is an American songwriter, producer, teacher and studio and workshop guitarist. He became known for his special style and his video lessons on YouTube, and together with Jeff Loomis (Nevermore, Arch Enemy) he founded the progressive death metal band Conquering Dystopia. Of course, this also requires a suitable working instrument; this guitar is ideal for this thanks to its thin and thus quickly playable maple neck, the ash body and two Seymour Duncan Blackened Black Winter pickups.
