Description
Sound & Tone
The 27" baritone scale and mahogany neck-thru body with maple cap give this seven-string a tight, focused low end with long sustain, keeping downtuned riffs defined rather than muddy. The Fishman Modern humbucker shifts between a high-output active voicing for compressed, aggressive rhythm work and leads, and a passive mode with more open, articulate dynamics, while the macassar ebony fingerboard and stainless steel frets add attack and clarity to fast picking. It's aimed squarely at modern and extended-range metal, from djent-leaning rhythm playing to low-tuned death and progressive styles, with the strings-thru TonePros bridge and locking tuners supporting stable tuning across drop tunings.
ESP LTD Phoenix-7 Baritone Black Metal 7-String Guitar in Black Red Burst Satin
The Phoenix-7 is engineered to capture articulate, controlled aggression across extended-range tracking and mixing scenarios. Its 27" baritone scale and thin U neck contour enable precision fingering technique and consistent string response across all seven strings, while the neck-thru-body mahogany construction guarantees sustain and tonal coherence critical for layering and post-production flexibility. Built for session work that demands stable tuning and versatile tonal palette without compromise.
Recording Ergonomics & Fretwork
The thin U profile and 48mm molded nut balance string spacing with the hand comfort needed for long tracking takes across the extended fretboard. 22 stainless steel extra jumbo frets and a 400mm fingerboard radius on macassar ebony yield clean, repeatable articulation and smooth pitch control; glow-in-the-dark side markers aid quick fret location during dimly-lit studio sessions.
Tone Shaping & Studio Switching
The Fishman Modern 7-String Humbucker with push-pull voicing selector toggles between active and passive modes, letting you dial in everything from controlled, defined tracking tones to dense, driven textures suited for heavy mix densities. TonePros locking TOM bridge with strings-thru-body design maximizes resonant body response and intonation stability across session takes, while LTD locking tuners lock pitch quickly for seamless tuning between multitrack passes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar suitable for beginners?
No—the Phoenix-7 is designed for intermediate to advanced players. The 7-string extended range, thin U-profile neck, and baritone scale require experience with multi-string technique and drop tunings.
What tunings and genres does it handle best?
The 27-inch baritone scale and deep tone profile excel in metal, djent, and drop-tuning styles. It is not optimized for jazz, blues, or funk playing.
How does the active/passive switching work?
The Fishman Modern 7-String humbucker includes a push-pull master volume control that toggles between passive mode for articulate clarity and active mode for aggressive, high-output drive—allowing you to adapt the tone within a single performance.
What strings come installed?
The Phoenix-7 ships pre-strung with D'Addario XL110-7 gauge strings (.010/.013/.017/.026/.036/.046/.059), matched to the baritone scale.
How stable is the tuning during live use?
The combination of LTD locking tuners, TonePros locking TOM bridge with strings-thru-body design, and stabilized bridge platform ensures rapid, drift-free tuning adjustments between songs on stage.
