Updated for 2018 with a killer new Green Sparkle finish, the LTD SCT-607B is an extraordinary guitar designed by innovative player Stephen Carpenter of Deftones. 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 STEF-T7B 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.
Disclaimer: This model made both in China and Indonesia. Country of origin cannot be guaranteed.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm -
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.
