Construction & Hardware
Neck-thru-body construction with a mahogany body and maple cap ensures the sustain and tonal transfer that carries your playing through extended lower ranges. The EverTune constant tension bridge locks your tuning solid and maintains perfect intonation across the entire fingerboard, eliminating the tuning instability common to extended-range instruments—critical for reliability on stage and in the studio.
Playability & Electronics
The macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets responds to aggressive playing styles and sits comfortably under your hand during extended sessions. The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers (ceramic bridge, alnico neck) deliver high-output tone with push-pull voicing controls that shape your attack across different playing contexts. Active electronics maintain consistent signal strength across extended lower tunings, essential for baritone performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tuning range does the 27-inch baritone scale support?
The 27" scale is optimized for drop tunings and lower extended-range playing typical in metal and progressive music. The exact tuning is determined by string gauge and player preference, but the scale length ensures proper tension and intonation stability across baritone setups.
How does the EverTune bridge help with tuning stability?
The EverTune maintains constant tension on each string individually, eliminating the tuning drift and intonation inconsistency common to extended-range instruments, especially across lower tunings. This makes the guitar reliable for both studio recording and live performance without frequent re-tuning.
What do the Fishman Fluence pickups sound like, and can I adjust the tone?
The pickups feature a ceramic bridge pickup and alnico neck pickup, delivering high-output modern aggression with tight articulation. Push-pull voicing controls allow you to shape the tone without swapping pickups, and the active electronics provide consistent signal strength across extended tunings.
Is this guitar suitable for players new to 7-strings or baritone guitars?
This model is best suited for intermediate to advanced players already comfortable with extended-range instruments and lower tunings. The 24 extra-jumbo frets and aggressive setup are optimized for metal and progressive styles rather than beginner-friendly playability.
What condition should I expect from this used example?
As a used guitar, the Arrow-1007BET retains full ESP LTD build quality, hardware integrity, and electronics; you are purchasing it at a substantial discount from new pricing. Specific cosmetic condition details are noted in the product description above.
