ESP LTD SN-1007HT 7 String Baritone Guitar Black Blast B-Stock
Description
ESP LTD SN-1007HT 7-String Baritone Guitar in Black Blast
The SN-1007HT captures thick, defined low-end articulation through its 27" baritone scale, locking in tight, focused tones across all seven strings even in extreme tunings for layered tracking and heavy mix work. The swamp ash body with sandblasted Black Blast finish delivers balanced acoustics that translate directly through the active Fishman electronics, yielding clear, punchy recorded tones with natural sustain. This is a precision instrument built for professional-level extended-range recording and production.
Playability & Construction
The neck is a 5-piece roasted maple and purple heart construction with a thin U contour, providing stability for extended sessions and rapid position shifts during tracking without sacrificing comfort during technical passages. The Macassar ebony fingerboard features a compound radius with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, scalloped from frets 17-24 for enhanced control and precision in the upper register during studio overdubs.
Tone & Recording Character
Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers with an alnico neck pickup and ceramic bridge pickup deliver articulate warmth and aggressive punch respectively, capturing clean midrange definition and cutting high-end snap ideal for dense mixes. Both pickups are splittable via push-pull tone control, accessing secondary voicings for expanded tonal palette across rhythm layers, lead tones, and varied production approaches within a single session.
