ESP LTD M-1007 Multi-Scale 7 String Electric Guitar See Thru Black Sat
Description
ESP LTD M-1007 Multi-Scale 7 String Electric Guitar in See Thru Black Satin
The angled fret arrangement of this multi-scale design delivers optimized string tension across all seven strings while offering a measurable ergonomic improvement for the fretting hand. The 27" to 25.5" scale configuration balances the tight, articulate response of shorter scales with the extended resonance of longer ones, creating a distinctive sonic character. B-Stock condition means this instrument carries the same uncompromising playability and component quality as its retail counterpart, with only cosmetic variations.
Construction & Playability
The five-piece maple and purpleheart neck provides stability and sustain, while the thin U neck contour supports both speed and comfort across extended sessions. A 400mm radius Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets delivers fast, responsive action with minimal string rattle, and the black bone nut at 48mm width ensures solid intonation across the wider spacing required for seven-string tuning.
Tone & Live Performance
Custom-voiced Seymour Duncan Sentient (neck) and Nazgul (bridge) pickups feature angled pole spacing optimized specifically for multi-scale geometry, capturing full harmonic detail without phase cancellation. The push-pull tone knob engages coil splitting for single-coil textures, while the three-way pickup selector and independent volume control provide comprehensive tonal flexibility within a passive signal path—reliable and stage-ready without batteries or active circuitry.
