Description
ESP LTD SCT-607B Stephen Carpenter Baritone Guitar – Black (B-Stock)
The ESP LTD SCT-607B is a neck-through baritone 7-string built for extended range and tonal depth. Its thin U-contoured maple neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard deliver fast playability across the 27" scale, while the alder body paired with neck-thru construction ensures sustained resonance and stability under heavy use. This is a pro-grade instrument designed for players pursuing the textural and rhythmic possibilities that define Stephen Carpenter's work with Deftones.
Construction & Playability
Neck-through-body construction maximizes sustain and tonal cohesion throughout the frequency range. The 3-piece maple neck features a thin U contour for speed and comfort, while the 350mm fingerboard radius and 24 extra-jumbo frets accommodate both aggressive picking and smooth legato work. The 48mm molded nut width and 27" baritone scale provide adequate spacing for seven-string technique without sacrificing ergonomic balance.
Tone & Electronics
Active electronics with Fishman Fluence SRC Signature pickups in the middle and bridge positions deliver three selectable voices per pickup via push/pull controls and a 3-way switch—modern active, modern passive attack, and overwound single-coil character. The TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body design couples tightly with the neck-thru platform for maximum sustain, while LTD locking tuners ensure tuning stability across extended sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this guitar?
B-Stock means the SCT-607B is fully functional and comes with the full manufacturer warranty, but has minor cosmetic imperfections on the finish or hardware. The playability, electronics, and structural integrity are unaffected, making it an excellent value for players and studios.
Is this baritone suitable for drop-tuned metal and djent?
Yes. The 27" extended baritone scale, Fishman Fluence SRC pickups with modern active and overwound single-coil voices, tight low-end response, and neck-through construction are specifically designed for aggressive drop-tuning work, rhythmic control, and the tonal depth required in metal and progressive music.
What makes the 48mm nut width and thin U contour important for 7-string playing?
The 48mm molded nut provides sufficient string spacing so your fingers don't crowd together on a 7-string layout, while the thin U-contoured neck keeps reach and comfort high during extended playing sessions—critical for both speed picking and legato work across all seven strings.
What are the Fishman Fluence SRC pickups, and can I switch between voices?
The Fishman Fluence SRC Signature active pickups offer three selectable voices per pickup—modern active (full aggression), modern passive attack (tighter response), and overwound single-coil character (vintage vibe)—toggled via push/pull volume and tone knobs, giving you tonal flexibility within a single guitar for studio and live work.
How does the neck-through construction and TonePros bridge affect sustain and intonation?
Neck-through alder body construction with a 3-piece maple neck maximizes vibration transfer and sustain, while the TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body design couples tightly to the neck platform for maximum resonance and tuning stability across extended baritone playing and drop tunings.
