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 for this guitar?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional with manufacturer warranty intact, but has minor cosmetic finish particles on the lower body edge—no impact on playability, tone, or durability. You receive a production-grade instrument at a significant discount.
Is this baritone suitable for standard tunings, or committed to drop tunings only?
The 27" baritone scale and extra-jumbo frets are engineered for lower, downtuned playing—think drop C, B, or lower. While technically playable in standard E, the instrument is optimized and voiced for extended-range tuning contexts where its tight low end and sustain shine.
How do the Fishman Fluence SRC pickups handle both clean and high-gain tones?
The three voiced modes deliver clean articulation for controlled rhythm and lead dynamics, mid-forward aggression for classic metal punch, and high-gain saturation for modern djent and extended-range heavy work—all without switching guitars or re-amping in the studio.
What's the neck like for fast fretwork and heavy riffing?
The thin U-shaped three-piece maple neck balances speed and control, accommodating both rapid lead passages and sustained downtuned riffs without fatigue. The macassar ebony fingerboard and extra-jumbo frets provide fast access while the neck-thru construction maximizes energy transfer and sustain.
How does this compare to other seven-string baritones in this price range?
The SC-607B's neck-thru mahogany build, active Fishman Fluence SRC pickups with three voices, and TonePros bridge place it at parity with the Schecter Hellraiser C-7 and Ibanez RG7 while offering Carpenter's signature voice and tonal flexibility across studio and live contexts.
