About This Listing

Guitar is mint and includes gator XL baritone hardcase

Deftones axeman Stephen Carpenter is a key pioneer of the alternative-metal genre, and for years he has relied on his signature ESP 7 and 8-string guitars to achieve his cutting-edge sound. The LTD SC-608B is Carpenter's latest model, a Fishman Fluence-equipped behemoth that features a 27" baritone scale length for optimal string tension and a Hipshot bridge for ultimate playing comfort.

Construction

The ESP LTD SC-608B features a Mahogany body that is perfect for accentuating the bass response from the lower strings, and serves as an excellent tonal foundation for the active pickups. The body is paired with a bright-sounding, thin "U"-shaped Maple neck which ensures that some crucial top-end snap pierces through. This helps to keep the instrument sounding clear and defined even with ultra high-gain amp settings.

To maintain the sleek aesthetic, the SC-608B's neck is adorned with a luscious Macassar Ebony fingerboard that feels super-smooth under the fingers. Fitted with 24 extra-jumbo frets, these will enable superb vibrato and string bending control.

Electronics & Hardware

A set of Carpenter's signature Fishman Fluence pickups are fitted in the ESP LTD SC-608B, giving the instrument a monstrous, high-fidelity sound. Hundreds of renowned players have jumped onboard the Fishman bandwagon, but there's a reason for that! They just sound incredible for high-octane metal, and crystal-clear for cleans.

The ESP LTD SC-608B also boasts top-notch hardware appointments, including a beautifully-machined Hipshot bridge that feels super-solid under the picking hand. Tuning stability shouldn't be an issue either, especially with the locking LTD tuners.

Product Overview
Deftones guitarist Stephen Carpenter has produced some of the most innovative guitar work in the alternative metal category. With the LTD SCT-607B, Carpenter gets a 7-string baritone guitar in a Tele-style alder body with neck-thru design. This, along with the 7 strings and EMG 81-7 pickups, give players the sonic versatility to create both deep metal dirges and washes of shoegaze-inspired noise, all without sounding muddy. And the LTD locking tuners will make sure the guitar won’t easily go out of tune from expressive playing.
