ESP LTD EC-1007B Evertune Baritone Guitar Black
Description
ESP LTD EC-1007B Evertune Baritone Guitar Black
The EC-1007B captures thick, balanced tonality across its seven strings thanks to the mahogany body with maple cap and set-thru construction that locks the neck into the body for enhanced sustain and recording clarity. The Thin U-shaped neck profile enables quick, precise finger work during tracking and overdubs, while the 27" baritone scale maintains string tension and articulation even in drop tunings, keeping recordings tight and defined. This is a precision instrument engineered for studio sessions where stability and tonal depth across extended range work define the final mix.
Playability & Feel
The 48mm nut width and 300-400mm compound fingerboard radius on the Macassar ebony fingerboard accommodate both aggressive rhythm tracking and intricate lead parts without hand fatigue during long recording days. 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets provide a smooth, durable playing surface that handles heavy attack and sits consistently through multiple takes, while LTD locking tuners keep all seven strings locked in place across temperature and humidity shifts in the studio environment.
Tone & Electronics
The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers—Alnico in the neck and Ceramic in the bridge, both gold-finished—deliver articulate cleans and aggressive overdriven textures with a pull-to-switch tone control on each pickup for expanded sonic range in the mix. The EverTune (F model) bridge with gold saddles maintains perfect intonation across all playing conditions and takes, while the dual volume controls, pushable tone knob, and toggle switch give precise command over the guitar's dynamic output during session work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tunings and genres is this guitar best suited for?
The EC-1007B excels in metal, djent, and extended-range drop-tuning styles. Its 27-inch baritone scale maintains string tension and clarity even in very low tunings, making it ideal for heavy riff work and modern progressive metal. It is not recommended for jazz, folk, or traditional blues.
How does the EverTune bridge work and what does it do?
The EverTune (F model) bridge system automatically maintains perfect intonation across all playing conditions, temperature shifts, and humidity changes, so your seven strings stay locked in pitch without manual re-tuning during gigs or studio sessions. This is especially valuable for baritone and drop-tuned instruments.
What pickups are in this guitar and can I switch between different tones?
The guitar features Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers with an Alnico neck pickup and Ceramic bridge pickup, both gold-finished. Each pickup has a pull-to-switch voice control that expands your sonic palette from articulate cleans to aggressive overdriven textures without swapping gear.
Is the neck comfortable for fast playing and hand size?
Yes. The Thin U-shaped neck profile and 48mm nut width are designed for effortless hand transitions during fast playing, while the 300–400mm compound fingerboard radius on the Macassar ebony board accommodates both aggressive rhythm work and intricate lead passages without hand fatigue.
What construction method is used and why does it matter?
The guitar uses set-thru construction, where the neck is routed through and locked into the mahogany body with a maple cap. This approach enhances sustain, neck stability, and overall rigidity—critical for maintaining tonal depth and tuning stability under heavy playing stress.
