. Description
Sound & Tone
The 27" baritone scale and neck-through alder body keep low tunings tight and defined, with long sustain and a firm low end that stays articulate rather than muddy across all seven strings. The Fishman Fluence SRC pickups offer three voices via push-pull, moving from a midrange-focused modern active tone for heavy rhythm work to a brighter single-coil character for cleaner and more atmospheric passages. Paired with the macassar ebony board and extra-jumbo frets, it leans toward modern metal riffing, downtuned chugging, and lead lines that need clarity above a dense low register.
ESP LTD SCT-607B Baritone Stephen Carpenter Guitar Black
The SCT-607B is a neck-through baritone engineered for players chasing extended range expression and aggressive sustain. Its thin U-profile neck and 27" scale deliver deep, articulate lows while maintaining clarity across all seven strings, making this Stephen Carpenter signature model a serious tool for musicians working in modern metal, atmospheric textures, and demanding tuning schemes.
Playability & Construction
Neck-through construction maximizes sustain and fretboard access, while the 3-piece maple neck and macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets sit flat under the fingers for smooth, fast playing across the entire range. The thin U contour and 48mm molded nut accommodate the extended 7-string configuration without compromising ergonomics or intonation, letting you dial in your preferred feel without fighting the instrument.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Fishman Fluence SRC Signature pickups with push-pull voice selection give you three distinct tonal palettes—from Stephen Carpenter's midrange-tweaked modern active voice to a cutting single-coil character. The TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body design locks in tuning stability and maximizes sustain, while LTD locking tuners keep your intonation rock-solid even during aggressive playing or the most demanding live sets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the 27-inch baritone scale and 48mm nut suitable for 7-string playing?
The 27-inch extended scale provides the string tension and articulate low-end clarity required for drop tunings, while the 48mm molded nut is sized specifically for 7-string spacing to maintain intonation stability and ergonomic control without sacrificing playability. The thin U-profile neck contour further ensures you can access extended range comfortably during aggressive playing.
What do the Fishman Fluence SRC pickups' three voices do?
The dual Fishman Fluence SRC Signature pickups feature push-pull voice selection to switch between three distinct tonal palettes, including Stephen Carpenter's midrange-tweaked modern voice and a cutting single-coil character. This gives you tonal flexibility within the same pickup without rewiring or swapping hardware.
Why is neck-through construction important for this baritone?
Neck-through construction maximizes sustain—critical for extended-range and metal playing—and provides seamless fretboard access across the full 24 extra-jumbo fret range. This design also improves overall resonance and tuning stability in the lower registers.
Is this guitar suitable for standard tuning or drop tunings only?
This baritone is engineered for drop tunings and extended-range contexts; it will feel and sound notably different from a standard-scale 6-string guitar in standard tuning. Its 27-inch scale is optimized for lower, heavier voicings typical of modern metal and djent.
What's included with the guitar?
The SCT-607B ships with an ESP Deluxe hardshell case and a D'Addario XL120-7 string set (.010–.059) so you can play out of the box.
