Description
ESP LTD SCT-607B Baritone Stephen Carpenter Guitar Black
The SCT-607B is a neck-through baritone engineered for extended-range tracking and controlled sustain in the studio. Its thin U-profile neck and 27" scale capture deep, articulate lows while maintaining clarity across all seven strings, making this Stephen Carpenter signature model an essential tool for sessions demanding modern metal textures, atmospheric layering, and low tuning versatility.
Playability & Construction
Neck-through construction maximizes sustain and fretboard access for long takes and precise positioning, while the 3-piece maple neck and macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets ensure smooth tracking and consistent response across the entire range. The thin U contour and 48mm molded nut support the 7-string configuration without compromising intonation or session reliability.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Fishman Fluence SRC Signature pickups with push-pull voice selection provide three distinct tonal characters—from Stephen Carpenter's midrange-focused modern active voice to a cutting single-coil option for blending and layering. The TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body design locks in tuning stability between takes and maximizes sustain for controlled recording, while LTD locking tuners ensure your tuning holds tight throughout long sessions.

This model is built for intermediate, advanced, and professional players who are comfortable with extended-range instruments and active electronics.
