Sound & Tone
The 27" baritone scale paired with a mahogany body, quilted maple cap and set-thru construction yields a thick, sustaining low end that stays articulate rather than muddy, while the ebony fingerboard adds tightness and attack to fast riffing. A Seymour Duncan '59 in the neck gives warm, rounded cleans and smooth leads, and the JB bridge pushes into aggressive, well-defined distortion, with the active EQ shaping presence and body across both. Graph Tech Ghost piezo saddles and separate magnetic and piezo outputs add acoustic-leaning tones alongside the electric voice, making it suited to heavy alternative rock, metal and darker progressive playing that also calls for dynamic, cleaner passages.
ESP LTD Ben Burnley BB-600 Baritone Signature Electric Guitar – See Thru Black Sunburst Satin
The ESP LTD Ben Burnley BB-600 signature baritone sits in your hands with refined ease—a comfortable satin-finished 3-piece maple neck and smooth string-to-fretboard interaction that respond to your precision and control. The extended 27" baritone scale produces thick, articulate low-end tones that cut through any mix, essential for heavy alternative rock, metal, and dark progressive styles where sonic weight and clarity define your sound. Dual Seymour Duncan pickups paired with active EQ electronics give you everything from warm, resonant cleans to aggressive, defined distortion—all controlled at your fingertips.
Playability & Ergonomics
The thin U neck contour combined with a 350mm fingerboard radius and 24 XJ frets on ebony fingerboard creates a fast, responsive playing surface that handles complex riffing and lead work without fatigue. A 42mm molded nut and Grover tuners ensure stable tuning and precise intonation across the full baritone range, keeping your instrument locked in night after night.
Tone & Electronics
The Seymour Duncan '59 neck pickup and Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup deliver dynamic response across a wide tonal spectrum, while the passive pickups with active EQ provide shape and presence control without coloration. The Graph Tech Ghost Loaded Resomax NV bridge and tailpiece system, combined with dual output jacks for magnetic and piezo signals, expands your sonic palette significantly—giving you flexibility on stage or in the studio.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is baritone scale and who should consider this guitar?
The BB-600 features a 27-inch baritone scale, which is longer than standard (25.5-inch) guitars and accommodates heavier string gauges and lower tunings without excessive tension. This is essential for players working in metal, hard rock, progressive, and drop-tuning styles who need clear, articulate lows and stable intonation below standard E.
What pickups and electronics are in this guitar?
The guitar pairs a Seymour Duncan '59 neck pickup and Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup with passive pickups and active EQ controls (Volume, 3-Way Magnetic Switch, and Piezo Volume). Dual output jacks let you run magnetic and piezo signals independently or blend them.
How does the neck feel, and is it comfortable for extended sessions?
The 3-piece maple neck features a thin U contour, 350mm fingerboard radius, and 24 XJ frets on ebony, designed for fast, responsive play and precise control during complex riffing. The satin finish and comfortable neck geometry encourage hours of effortless playing without hand fatigue.
What genres and playing styles is this guitar best suited for?
The BB-600 excels in metal, hard rock, progressive, and any style employing drop tunings or extended range work. Its thick low-end clarity, articulate distortion, and sonic weight are less suited to jazz, country, and folk applications.
What is set-through construction and why does it matter?
Set-through construction means the neck extends into the mahogany body rather than being bolt-on, enhancing sustain, resonance, and tonal definition. Combined with the quilted maple cap, this design delivers professional build quality and reliable performance for gigging and studio work.
