Description
ESP LTD SC-607B Stephen Carpenter Deftones Baritone Guitar — Magenta Metallic
The SC-607B is a neck-thru baritone engineered for studio tracking and mixing work in lower tunings, delivering the articulate, controlled response needed to cut through aggressive productions. The thin U-shaped neck balances fast fretwork with sustained resonance across its extended 27" scale, while the signature pickup voicing and tonal versatility make session work seamless—tracking rhythm layers, punching in lead passes, and shaping tone within the mix without reaching for additional gear. Built around Stephen Carpenter's approach to heavy riffing, this instrument captures the harmonic complexity and dynamic range required for professional home-studio production. The striking magenta metallic finish signals a serious extended-range tool designed for producers committed to lower tunings and precise tone control.
Construction & Hardware
Neck-thru mahogany body construction provides direct energy transfer and resonant sustain essential for baritone tunings and studio tracking clarity, while the thin U-contoured three-piece maple neck accommodates both fast lead work and heavy riffing without fatigue during long session days. The 27" baritone scale and macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets reduce string tension for lower tunings, and the TonePros locking TOM-style bridge with string-thru-body design paired with LTD locking tuners locks in stable intonation across tracking takes and extended bending passages, minimizing tuning drift between punch-ins and multitrack layers.
Electronics & Tone Shaping
Fishman Fluence SRC Signature active humbuckers in neck and bridge positions deliver multiple voicing options via push/pull volume control, providing access to clean articulation for rhythm clarity, mid-forward aggression for cutting mixes, and high-gain saturation for intensity—all without switching guitars or stopping a session. The active electronics with volume and tone controls and 5-way blade switch expand your recording palette across both rhythm tracking and dynamic lead overdubs, letting you shape tone at the source before committing to tape.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional with complete manufacturer warranty, but has minor cosmetic imperfections typical of inventory returns or display models. These marks are purely superficial and have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity.
What tunings and genres is this baritone built for?
The 27" scale and .010–.059 string gauge are optimized for downtuned metal, djent, and hard rock, reducing string tension for lower tunings while maintaining articulate response. The mid-forward aggression and high-gain saturation excel in heavy, aggressive styles but are not suited for jazz, folk, or country.
How do the Fishman Fluence SRC pickups change tone?
The push/pull volume control gives you access to multiple voicing options on each pickup without swapping guitars, letting you dial in clean articulation, mid-forward aggression, or high-gain saturation depending on your playing context.
What skill level do I need to play this guitar?
This is an intermediate to advanced/professional instrument; the thin U-neck and 24 extra-jumbo frets support both fast lead work and heavy riffing, but extended-range baritones demand familiarity with lower tunings and higher fret counts.
Is the neck comfortable for long sessions?
The thin U-contoured three-piece maple neck and 27" scale balance fast fretwork with comfortable sustain, designed to reduce hand fatigue across aggressive playing and extended bending.
