ESP LTD M-7HT Baritone Black Metal 7-String Guitar in Black Red Burst Satin

The M-7HT is built for metal players who demand rock-solid tuning stability and punchy articulation across all seven strings. Its neck-thru construction and extra-thin U-shaped maple neck give you fast, uninhibited access to upper frets without sacrificing the rigidity you need for tight, percussive riffing. The 27" baritone scale anchors heavy tunings with natural clarity and definition—ideal for stages and recording sessions where every note needs to cut through.

Construction & Playability

Neck-thru-body design with alder body and three-piece extra-thin U-shaped maple neck ensures stability and seamless fretboard access. The 27" scale and 48mm nut width accommodate the lower tunings and wider string spacing typical of seven-string baritone work, while the 400mm fingerboard radius and 24 XJ frets support both open-position clarity and aggressive lead playing.

Tone & Electronics

A single direct-mounted Seymour Duncan Blackened Black Winter passive pickup delivers the focused, high-output aggression essential to modern metal tones. The push-pull Master Volume control enables instant coil-split access for tonal range without sacrificing simplicity, while LTD Locking tuners and a Hipshot String Thru bridge ensure tuning stability and optimal string vibration transfer.
