ESP LTD M-1007B Baritone Evertune Guitar Granite Sparkle
Description
ESP LTD M-1007B Baritone Evertune Guitar - Granite Sparkle
The M-1007B is a purpose-built baritone instrument designed for extended-range recording and extreme tuning stability in the studio. Its 27" scale and 7-string configuration deliver the low-end clarity and articulation essential for capturing modern metal and progressive productions without drift. The Extra Thin U neck contour paired with Macassar Ebony fingerboard creates an instrument that balances comfort with precision, enabling consistent tracking across multiple takes and tunings.
Recording & Build Quality
Built on a neck-through Alder body with a 3-piece Maple neck, this guitar provides the sustain and structural integrity needed for rich, present recordings and long tracking sessions. The 300-400mm Compound fingerboard radius accommodates both clean articulation and high-gain bending with minimal choking, while 24 XJ Stainless Steel frets ensure durability and consistent intonation across years of studio work. The 48mm Molded nut provides proper string spacing for clean articulation on the extended 7-string layout, critical for tight low-end definition in the mix.
Electronics & Tone Shaping
Dual Fishman Modern Hum pickups—Alnico 3-Voice in the neck and Ceramic 3-Voice at the bridge—deliver versatile tonal character from clarity to aggression, adapting easily to different session requirements and mix contexts. The Active electronics layout with Volume, Tone (Push/Pull), and 3-way Switch provides real-time control for tone-shaping without leaving the instrument, while the legendary Evertune bridge maintains perfect string-to-string intonation regardless of tuning, string gauge changes, or environmental factors—eliminating costly tape waste from drift. Black hardware and LTD tuners complete the professional specification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the M-1007B suitable for standard tuning, or is it only for drop tunings?
While the 27-inch baritone scale and extended-range 7-string setup are purpose-built for drop tunings and extended range, the Evertune bridge maintains perfect intonation in any tuning. The instrument excels in metal and progressive contexts but is not recommended for jazz, traditional blues, or folk styles.
What skill level do I need to play this guitar?
This is an intermediate to advanced/professional instrument. The Extra Thin U neck and compound fingerboard radius support both open chords and aggressive high-gain bending, but the extended 7-string layout and 27-inch scale demand player experience and familiarity with extended-range instruments.
How does the Evertune bridge work, and why does it matter?
The Evertune bridge maintains perfect string-to-string intonation automatically, regardless of tuning changes, string gauge swaps, or environmental factors—eliminating re-tuning between songs or takes. This is essential for gigging and recording musicians working with extreme tunings and extended ranges.
What pickups are in this guitar, and can I switch between clean and high-gain tones?
Dual Fishman Modern Hum pickups deliver versatile tonal character: the Alnico 3-Voice neck pickup provides clarity and articulation, while the Ceramic 3-Voice bridge pickup adds aggression. Active electronics with a 3-way switch let you blend between them for real-time high-gain to clarity control.
What strings come with the M-1007B?
The guitar ships strung with D'Addario XL120-7 gauge strings (.010–.059), optimized for the 27-inch baritone scale and 7-string configuration.
