Description
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.
