Sound & Tone
The neck-thru mahogany body and 27" baritone scale give this seven-string a thick, focused low end with the string tension needed to keep drop tunings tight and defined rather than flubby, while the macassar ebony fingerboard adds attack and clarity to palm-muted riffing. The Fishman Fluence SRC active humbuckers cover a wide range through the push/pull voicing and 5-way switch, moving from clean articulation to mid-forward bite and saturated high gain without swapping instruments. It's aimed squarely at downtuned metal, heavy alternative, and riff-driven rhythm work, with the thin U neck and 24 extra-jumbo frets keeping lead runs accessible up top.
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.

As a B-Stock instrument it carries a minor factory cosmetic blemish — a small finish mark with no effect on playability, tone or structure — which is why it sells for less than a first-quality unit. The exact blemish varies from unit to unit, so it is not described or pictured here; photos show the model, not the individual unit. It is new, unplayed and covered by the full manufacturer warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean?
B-Stock means this unit is new and unplayed with full manufacturer warranty, but carries minor cosmetic blemishes—such as small finish marks—typical of inventory returns or display models. The exact blemish varies by unit and has zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity, which is why it sells for significantly less than a first-quality unit.
Is this guitar suitable for standard tuning, or is it really built for drop tunings?
This baritone is engineered specifically for downtuned and extended-range playing; its 27-inch scale, 1.88-inch nut width, and extra-jumbo frets are optimized for lower tunings to reduce string tension and finger fatigue. While capable of standard tuning, it is designed for and best suited to metal, djent, and aggressive lower-register styles.
What are the Fishman Fluence SRC voicing options?
The Fishman Fluence SRC Signature humbuckers include a push/pull volume control that switches between voicing options, giving you access to clean articulation, mid-forward aggression, and high-gain saturation without changing guitars. The 5-way blade switch provides additional tonal shaping across neck and bridge pickup combinations.
How does the neck feel, and will it work for fast lead work?
The thin U-contoured three-piece maple neck with a 15.7-inch radius fingerboard balances fast fretwork with comfortable sustain; the narrow profile reduces finger fatigue during extended-range passages and accommodates both heavy riffing and dynamic lead work.
What tuning should I use, and what gauge strings come on it?
This model ships with D'Addario XL110-7 (.010–.059) strings and is optimized for drop tunings and baritone voicings; the 27-inch scale and reduced string tension make lower tunings the intended use, though specific tuning depends on your musical application.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces collect sales tax as the facilitator in most states, so the same listed price can cost more there. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
