You don't have to shoulder an eight-string electric guitar to get to those earth-rumbling lower tones; the 7-string ESP LTD SCT-607B Stephen Carpenter baritone electric guitar delivers low frequencies with force and might. Stephen Carpenter's deep distorted sound is heard all over the Deftones' discography, and this seven-string baritone axe brings the heavy with its alder body and maple neck in neck-thru body construction. The SCT-607B's pair of Fishman Fluence SRC Signature active humbuckers break up your playing in a nice, full distortion that doesn't get muddy in the lower register, and your ebony fingerboard of 24 XJ frets plays like butter over a comfortable thin U contour neck shape. Get extra low with this heavy baritone electric guitar.

Alder Body and Maple Neck

Alder bodies have a strong, full-bodied sound that balances well. Alder is great for a baritone guitar because it lifts your mids and lows nicely, but not in an overbearing fashion. Your maple neck adds a nice and tight character to your sound -- bringing a welcoming brightness in contrast to the darkness of your alder body. It adds up to a classic tonewood pairing for this Stephen Carpenter signature 7-string.

Thin U Neck Contour and Through-body Construction

You'll navigate the SCT-607B's extensive 27" scale neck with ease and comfort via its thin U contoured neck shape. Having the extra string widens your neck a little bit, but this thin cut means your hand won't have to stretch too far to reach read more that seventh string. Thru-body construction means your strings will have a nice transfer of sound over to your body with a more present resonation, in longer sustain, and with reliable intonation. Your axe will also have a solid "one-piece" feel to it when you play.

Pair of Fishman Fluence SRC Signature

Each pickup has multiple voicings; use the push-pull control on the volume knob to select the one you want. On the middle alnico pickup, push down for "Modern Active" tone or pull up for "Modern Passive Attack." On the bridge ceramic pickup, push down for "Modern Passive Attack" tone or pull up for "Modern Active" voicing. This model utilizes a standard 9V battery.

Durable and Secure TonePros Tune-o-matic Bridge

Baritone guitars have longer scale lengths to them, which means your strings stretch longer and tighter. You won't have to worry about staying in tune because of this baby's reliable TonePros Tune-o-matic bridge and LTD locking tuners. You'll be able to play extensively -- pushing your low end and bending your strings to screeching highs -- without the worry of your guitar losing its intonation.

ESP LTD SCT607B Stephen Carpenter Guitar

The ESP LTD SCT-607B is an extraordinary guitar designed by innovative player Stephen Carpenter of Deftones, and features a killer Green Sparkle finish! The SCT-607B starts with a rather traditional shape, but then takes an abrupt turn into one of the most powerful guitars available for contemporary music styles.

It's a seven-string guitar, with neck-thru-body construction at 27" baritone scale. That means this instrument can handle extremely low tunings, while still maintaining the string tension needed for expressive playing and excellent tones. It offers a comfortable alder body and a three-piece maple neck, with an unadorned ebony fingerboard. Components on the LTD SCT-607B include a TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body design for excellent sustain, and a pair of versatile Fishman Fluence SRC Signature active pickups.

Each pickup has multiple voicings; use the push-pull control on the volume knob to select the one you want. On the middle alnico pickup, push down for "Modern Active" tone or pull up for "Modern Passive Attack." On the bridge ceramic pickup, push down for "Modern Passive Attack" tone or pull up for "Modern Active" voicing. This model utilizes a standard 9V battery.

"First 7 string"

This was my first 7 string I’ve ever owned and I love it. I had only played a 7 string guitar a few times before at music stores. Being a baritone guitar, I did experience some soreness in my hands when I first played this guitar due to the frets being a little more spaced out than what I am used to. After a week or two it went away. I have had this guitar since December 2020 and have played it every day and it’s the best guitar I own. I have 2 other ESP/LTD’s but this one is my go to. Played fine out the box, handles low tunings very well, pick ups are great and have better sound and sustain that I expected. (I’ve only ever played with emg pick ups) oh and the color is really nice too!
