Description
ESP LTD SN-1007HT 7-String Baritone Guitar in Black Blast
The SN-1007HT sits perfectly balanced in your hands with a thin U-contoured neck built for speed without sacrificing comfort, while its 27" baritone scale anchors tight, focused tones across all seven strings even in extreme tunings. The swamp ash body with sandblasted Black Blast finish cuts an unmistakable silhouette on stage and resonates with the balanced acoustics that active Fishman electronics amplify into articulate, punchy live tones. Built for gigging musicians and session players demanding professional-level extended-range performance.
Playability & Construction
The neck is a 5-piece roasted maple and purple heart construction with a thin U contour, gripping your hand securely through technical passages without fatigue. The Macassar ebony fingerboard features a compound radius of 11.8"-15.7" with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, scalloped from frets 17-24 to let your fingers navigate the upper register with precision and minimal friction. String-to-string clarity is immediate under the fingers.
Tone & Electronics
Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers deliver articulate warmth from the alnico neck pickup and aggressive punch from the ceramic bridge pickup—exactly what you need cutting through a live mix. Both pickups are splittable via push-pull tone control, unlocking secondary voicings that shift your tonal palette across modern metal, progressive, and beyond without touching a pedal.
