ESP LTD SCT-607B Baritone Stephen Carpenter Guitar Black

The SCT-607B is a neck-through baritone engineered for extended-range playing in modern metal and atmospheric contexts, delivering deep, articulate lows without compromise. Built around a 27" scale and 7-string configuration, this signature model prioritizes tuning stability and sustain across aggressive playing demands. This is a serious working instrument designed explicitly for players who require extended range, precise intonation, and articulate low-end response.

Tone & Electronics

Dual Fishman Fluence SRC Signature active pickups with push-pull voice selection deliver three distinct tonal palettes—from Stephen Carpenter's midrange-tweaked modern voice to a cutting single-coil character. The TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body design locks in tuning stability and maximizes sustain, while LTD locking tuners ensure precise, reliable tuning hold even under aggressive playing.

Playability & Construction

Neck-through construction maximizes sustain and provides seamless fretboard access, while the 3-piece maple neck with macassar ebony fingerboard and 24 extra-jumbo frets ensures fast, smooth playing across the entire range. The thin U contour and 48mm molded nut accommodate the extended 7-string configuration without sacrificing ergonomics or intonation stability.
