At 2:15 of this "Gearcheck" video provided by Music nStuff, Unearth guitarist Ken Susi is asked about what guitars he was using.

"My guitar is the KS7. Quilted top. Evertune bridge. One volume knob, no tone, just a switch. Ebony fretboard. The cool thing I like about this guitar is the new Fishman pickups that we have in here. Brand new technology. Voice one is like an active pickup, pull the knob and it's voice two which is passive sound, so it's like a 70's hot-rodded pickup. They're basically made with a print coil. 48 Layer circuit board. It's unbelievable. "

At 9:40 of this Gear Interview video provided by Thomann Music, Unearth guitarist Ken Susi is asked about what strings he uses.

"Believe it or not, my whole career, I wouldn't even know another string if it hit me on the head, but I've been using the cryogenically frozen Blue Steel guitar string by Dean Markley since I was 9 years old. Literally, when I got my first guitar, they gave me a pack of free strings of Blue Steel and my brother said he used them too. I've used them my whole career. When I was 20 something years old and we were on Ozfest, I met the isolation guy and I said, "I've been using your strings like, my whole life. Can I get an endorsement?". The guy said, "Oh of course." I've literally never played any other strings."

You plug things in, and it makes things very simple. We do use Laney Iron Hearts as well. Maxon pedals, Shure wireless for me, we change all o four patches through MIDI. It's pretty cool."
