Description
ESP LTD SN-1 Baritone HT Black Guitar — B-Stock
The SN-1 Baritone HT delivers thick, articulate tones across a 27" baritone scale tuned B-E-A-D-F#-B, with the thin U neck contour and compact body design making extended playing sessions comfortable during palm-muted riffs and intricate lead work alike. The scalloped frets from the 17th position onward enhance both precision and tonal articulation, while the reverse headstock and hardtail bridge provide visual distinctiveness and rock-solid tuning stability. This baritone bridges specialized low-end clarity with surprising sonic versatility—from bone-crushing distortion to warm, woody cleans—making it equally at home in metal, hardcore, and progressive contexts.
Playability & Build
Bolt-on construction pairs a 5-piece roasted maple and purple heart neck with a swamp ash body, delivering resonant fundamentals and inherent sustain. The thin U contour, 300-400mm compound fingerboard radius, 42mm black bone nut, and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets (scalloped from fret 17–24 with mother-of-pearl dot inlays) create a fast, ergonomic platform that rewards both precision and tonal articulation across the extended 27" baritone scale. On stage, the lightweight body and responsive neck cut through dense mixes while maintaining articulate definition essential for baritone tunings.
Tone & Electronics
The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker active bridge pickup delivers authoritative output with sonic flexibility via a push-pull volume control that activates a second voice for tonal variety. A Hipshot hardtail bridge with string-thru body design, LTD locking tuners, and chrome hardware ensure rock-solid intonation and sustain, while the black bone nut anchors harmonic definition essential for articulate baritone clarity. Built for gigging reliability, the locking tuners and hardtail bridge hold their ground through tour schedules and venue changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and will cosmetic imperfections affect playability or tone?
B-Stock means this unit is fully functional with only minor cosmetic variances—such as light marks or display wear—that have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity. You receive the complete professional-grade instrument at a discount; all electronics, frets, hardware, and hardware are unaffected.
Is the SN-1 Baritone suitable for standard tuning, or is it locked into drop tunings?
The SN-1 is optimized for baritone tuning (B-E-A-D-F#-B) and excels in drop and extended-range contexts, but intermediate to advanced players can explore alternate tunings within the baritone palette. For standard guitar tuning, a standard-scale model is the better choice.
How does the Fishman Fluence Modern pickup perform with high-gain tones?
The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker delivers authoritative output with tight, defined fundamentals ideal for bone-crushing distortion; the push-pull volume control unlocks a second voice for additional tonal variety and dynamic range without losing clarity in the mix.
What makes the scalloped frets (17–24) beneficial for baritone lead work?
Scalloped frets from the 17th position onward enhance both precision and tonal articulation by reducing finger-to-fret pressure, making fast, expressive lead lines easier to execute on the extended 27-inch scale without hand fatigue.
Will this baritone stay in tune during aggressive palm-muting or vigorous stage play?
The Hipshot hardtail bridge with string-thru body design, combined with LTD locking tuners and a black bone nut, provides rock-solid intonation and sustain even during intense palm-muted riffs and extended playing sessions.
