ESP LTD SN-1 HT Baritone Electric Guitar in Black

ESP LTD SN-1B Baritone Electric Guitar in Black

The SN-1B delivers thick, aggressive tones with extended low-end clarity across a 27" baritone scale, tuned B/E/A/D/F#/B. The thin U-neck contour and compact body design make extended playing sessions comfortable, whether executing palm-muted riffs or exploring the higher registers. This baritone bridges specialized tuning with surprising versatility—from bone-crushing distortion to warm, woody cleans—making it equally at home in metal, hardcore, and progressive contexts.

Playability & Build

The bolt-on construction pairs a 5-piece roasted maple and purple heart neck with a swamp ash body, delivering resonant fundamentals and stable tuning. A thin U contour, 300-400mm compound fingerboard radius, and 42mm nut width create a fast, ergonomic platform; the 24 scalloped XJ stainless steel frets (scalloped from fret 17–24) enhance both precision and tonal articulation across the extended scale.

Tone & Electronics

The Fishman Modern Ceramic Brushed Stainless bridge pickup, paired with active electronics and a pull-to-activate Voice 2 volume control, delivers authoritative output with sonic flexibility. A Hipshot string-thru bridge and locking tuners ensure rock-solid intonation and sustain, while the black bone nut anchors harmonic definition essential for articulate baritone clarity.
