ESP LTD SN-1007HT 7 String Baritone Lefty Guitar Black Blast
Description
ESP LTD SN-1007HT 7 String Baritone Lefty Guitar Black Blast
The SN-1007HT is engineered for left-handed players who need extended range and instantaneous response. Its thin U-contoured neck feels fast under the fingers, while the compound radius fingerboard transitions smoothly from open position to high-register work. The 27" baritone scale yields articulate, controlled low-end punch across all seven strings—each note cuts through with clarity whether you're laying into palm-muted riffs or tracking single notes on the lowest string. Built on a swamp ash body that resonates with natural sustain and harmonic richness, paired with the striking Black Blast sandblasted finish, this instrument carries itself on stage with serious visual presence while delivering the tonal weight modern metal demands.
Playability & Construction
The 5-piece roasted maple and purple heart neck stays dead-straight under touring conditions and hard playing. Bolt-on construction with a Macassar ebony fingerboard and 300-400mm compound radius means swift, confident position changes without hand fatigue, whether you're chasing high-register leads or digging into baritone territory. Twenty-two extra-jumbo stainless steel frets with scalloping from frets 17–22 give you comfortable micro-positioning for tapping and legato work, while mother-of-pearl dot inlays lock in your visual landmarks in dim stage lighting.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers—alnico in the neck position for warm, singing sustain and ceramic in the bridge for tight, aggressive bite—cover the sonic range from heavy riffing to articulate single-note passages. The push-pull tone control enabling single-coil splitting expands your palette mid-set without switching guitars. The Hipshot bridge with string-thru design paired with LTD locking tuners locks your tuning rock-solid through an entire performance, so you stay focused on the music.
