Sound & Tone
The 27" baritone scale and neck-thru alder body keep low tunings tight and defined, with the macassar ebony board and maple neck adding attack and clarity so downtuned chords stay articulate instead of turning to mud. Fishman Fluence SRC Signature active pickups in the middle and bridge positions cover clean, articulate voices through mid-forward bite and saturated high gain, with push/pull switching to move between them. It's aimed squarely at heavy riffing, alternate and dropped tunings, and dynamic passages that swing from quiet clean parts to full-gain weight.
ESP LTD SC-607B Stephen Carpenter Deftones Baritone Guitar — Magenta Metallic
The SC-607B is a neck-thru baritone engineered for tracking heavy, downtuned material with a thin U-shaped neck that enables precise fretwork while maintaining clear sustain across its extended 27" scale. This signature model translates Stephen Carpenter's approach to heavy riffing into studio-ready articulation and tonal flexibility, capturing aggressive character without losing definition in the mix. The striking magenta metallic finish marks this as a serious extended-range instrument built for producers and engineers committed to lower tunings and controlled tone shaping across recording sessions.
Construction & Playability
Neck-thru mahogany construction delivers direct energy transfer and consistent resonance critical for baritone tunings in the studio, while the thin U-contoured three-piece maple neck accommodates both fast lead tracking and heavy riffing without fatigue. The 27" baritone scale and macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets reduce string tension for lower tunings and improve recording clarity, and the TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body tailpiece paired with LTD locking tuners maintains stable intonation through takes and extended bending passages.
Electronics & Tone Shaping
Fishman Fluence SRC Signature active pickups with three voiced modes enable rapid tonal rebalancing across rhythm and lead layers without breaking session flow. The active electronics provide access to clean articulation, mid-forward aggression, and high-gain saturation, letting you shape multiple takes or song sections from a single instrument and minimize post-production EQ decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and will it affect the guitar's sound or playability?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional and carries full manufacturer warranty, but has minor cosmetic imperfections. This unit has a couple of particles trapped in the finish on the lower body edge—purely superficial marks with zero impact on tone, playability, or structural integrity.
Is this guitar suitable for standard tuning, or is it only for drop tunings?
The 27" baritone scale and extended range are optimized for lower, downtuned playing and are best suited for metal, djent, and hard rock. While technically playable in standard tuning, the baritone design is engineered specifically for extended-range, aggressive applications rather than traditional tuning ranges.
What do the three voicing modes on the Fluence SRC pickups do?
The three modes deliver clean articulation, mid-forward aggression, and high-gain saturation, allowing you to access different tonal characters without switching guitars or pedal settings. This versatility supports both rhythm and lead work across studio and live contexts.
How does the thin U-contoured neck compare to other baritone guitars?
The thin U contour balances speed and comfort for both fast lead work and heavy riffing while maintaining the neck-thru mahogany construction's sustain and resonance. This design supports aggressive playing while keeping hand fatigue minimal during long playing sessions.
Will the locking tuners and TonePros bridge keep this guitar in tune during aggressive bending and drop-tuning shifts?
Yes—the LTD locking tuners and TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body tailpiece are specifically engineered to maintain stable intonation under the stress of aggressive playing and extended bending in lower tunings.
