ESP E-II Horizon NT-7B Hipshot 7 String Baritone Electric Guitar Black

ESP E-II Horizon NT-7B Hipshot 7-String Baritone Electric Guitar Black Satin B-Stock

The E-II Horizon NT-7B captures the extended range and heavy tone essential for modern metal and progressive production. Its neck-thru construction and thin U contour enable fluid tracking of complex seven-string arrangements, while the 27" baritone scale produces articulate, controlled low-end response without flab or muddiness—critical for maintaining clarity in dense mixes.

Recording Performance & Construction

Built with a 3-piece maple neck and ebony fingerboard on a 305mm radius, the Horizon NT-7B delivers consistent intonation and fretwork across extended ranges for reliable multi-take sessions. The neck-thru-body design with alder body generates sustain and resonance that translates directly to recorded tone, while the bone nut and 24 XJ stainless steel frets ensure durability and predictable response through demanding recording work.

Tone & Electronics

EMG 85-7H and EMG 81-7H active pickups deliver aggressive, articulate response with tight low-end definition that cuts through heavy arrangements and extended-range tunings. The active electronics layout with volume, tone, and toggle switch provides direct control over brightness and aggression without complex switching matrices—ideal for tracking multiple parts with consistent tonal character.
