Sound & Tone
The 27" baritone scale and neck-thru alder body keep low tunings tight and defined, with the macassar ebony board and maple neck adding attack and clarity so downtuned chords stay articulate instead of turning to mud. Fishman Fluence SRC Signature active pickups in the middle and bridge positions cover clean, articulate voices through mid-forward bite and saturated high gain, with push/pull switching to move between them. It's aimed squarely at heavy riffing, alternate and dropped tunings, and dynamic passages that swing from quiet clean parts to full-gain weight.
ESP LTD SC-607B Stephen Carpenter Deftones Baritone Guitar — Magenta Metallic
The SC-607B is a neck-thru baritone built for aggressive, downtuned playing with a thin U-shaped neck that balances fast fretwork with comfortable sustain across its extended 27" scale. This signature model channels Stephen Carpenter's approach to heavy riffing with articulate pickup response and tonal versatility engineered for both studio work and live performance. The striking magenta metallic finish marks this as a serious extended-range instrument designed for players committed to lower tunings and dynamic tone shaping.
Construction & Hardware
Neck-thru alder construction transfers energy directly into the fingerboard and body for the resonant sustain essential to baritone tunings, while the thin U-contoured three-piece maple neck sits naturally in your hand for both speed and heaviness. The 27" baritone scale and macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets reduce string tension across lower tunings, and the TonePros locking TOM-style bridge with string-thru-body design paired with LTD locking tuners locks down intonation through aggressive playing and extreme bending without drift or frustration.
Electronics & Tone Shaping
Fishman Fluence SRC Signature active pickups in the middle and bridge positions unlock multiple voicing options via push/pull controls—clean articulation, mid-forward aggression, and high-gain saturation all available without stepping back or swapping instruments. The active electronics with volume and tone push/pull controls and 3-way switch give you real tonal range across rhythm riffs and dynamic lead passages without compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this a baritone, and what tunings does it support?
The SC-607B has a 27-inch scale length—longer than standard guitars—which reduces string tension and stabilizes intonation in drop tunings and lower registers. It's engineered for metal and djent players who need extended-range tuning stability without excessive string buzz or dead tone.
What are the Fishman Fluence SRC pickups, and how do the push/pull controls work?
The Fishman Fluence SRC Signature pickups are active electronics in the middle and bridge positions that offer multiple voicing options via push/pull controls on volume and tone, letting you access clean articulation, mid-forward aggression, and high-gain saturation without changing guitars.
Is the thin U-shaped neck comfortable for fast lead work and heavy riffing?
Yes—the thin U contour balances fast fretwork with sustain, and the three-piece maple neck-thru construction provides direct energy transfer and resonant tone essential for baritone tunings. The 24 extra-jumbo frets accommodate both aggressive rhythm playing and dynamic lead passages.
What hardware keeps this guitar stable during aggressive playing?
The TonePros locking TOM-style bridge with string-thru-body design and LTD locking tuners with black hardware ensure stable intonation across aggressive bending and downtuned playing. The macassar ebony fingerboard and 48mm nut width provide additional structural stability.
Is this guitar suitable for jazz, folk, or country?
No—this is a metal and djent specialist. The articulate, mid-forward tone, extended-range scale, and baritone tuning are optimized for aggressive rhythmic playing and extended sustain, not the tonal characteristics or playing style those genres require.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $133 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
