Description
ESP LTD M-1007B Baritone Guitar Charcoal Burst Satin
The M-1007B delivers a substantial, purposeful feel in hand—the extended 27" baritone scale and 48mm nut width provide the tension and spacing demanded by lower tunings without sacrificing playability. The extra-thin U-shaped neck profile and Macassar ebony fingerboard combine comfort with precision across all registers, while the Charcoal Burst Satin finish over quilted maple presents a refined, modern aesthetic. Built for musicians working in metal, progressive rock, and djent, this seven-string instrument balances extended range with articulate clarity.
Construction & Playability
The alder body with quilted maple top and extra-thin three-piece maple neck yield a resonant platform with solid low-end response and tonal brightness. 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets and offset mother-of-pearl dot inlays support demanding technical playing, while the bound fingerboard adds structural integrity and visual refinement. This combination of materials ensures both sustain and stability through extended playing sessions.
Electronics & Hardware
Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups—ceramic in the bridge position and alnico in the neck—deliver tonal versatility from clean textures to aggressive high-gain voices, with push-pull controls for voicing selection. The Floyd Rose 1000 SE double-locking tremolo with stainless steel screws and Grover tuners ensure tuning stability even during expressive vibrato work, while black hardware complements the Charcoal Burst finish throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tunings and skill level is this guitar designed for?
The M-1007B's 27-inch baritone scale and 48mm nut width are engineered for extended lower tunings (B standard and below) with proper tension and spacing. This instrument is best suited for intermediate, advanced, and professional players comfortable with seven-string technique and technical playing across metal, djent, and progressive genres.
How do the Fishman Fluence pickups sound, and can I switch voicings?
The bridge position uses a ceramic Fluence for aggressive, high-gain clarity and punch, while the neck is alnico for warmer, more textured tones. Push-pull controls on each pickup allow you to switch between Modern and Classic voicing modes without tools, giving you tonal flexibility across clean, mid-gain, and extreme voices.
Will the Floyd Rose tremolo stay in tune during gigging?
The Floyd Rose 1000 SE with stainless steel screws and Grover tuners is built for tuning stability even during expressive vibrato work and extended playing sessions. This combination of locking nut, quality tuners, and hardware is road-tested for reliability in live performance.
What makes the neck comfortable for a baritone with a wider nut?
The extra-thin U-shaped profile keeps the neck manageable across the 48mm nut width, while the bound Macassar ebony fingerboard and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets provide precision and structural integrity without sacrificing playability across all registers.
How much does it weigh, and what is the finish like?
The M-1007B weighs approximately 5–6 kg, making it reasonably balanced for extended playing. The Charcoal Burst Satin finish over quilted maple offers a refined, modern look with black hardware throughout that resists fingerprints and stage wear.
