. Description
Sound & Tone
The 27" baritone scale, neck-thru alder body and 3-piece maple neck combine for a tight, sustaining low end with balanced upper-mids that stay defined in drop and extended-range tunings, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard and TonePros locking bridge add crisp attack and note separation. Fishman Fluence SRC active pickups in the middle and bridge positions cover clear, articulate cleans through dense high-gain saturation, with the push/pull Voice 2 switching offering a second voicing for quick tonal shifts mid-set. It suits heavy riffing, atmospheric and experimental modern rock and metal where seven-string chord work needs to stay legible under distortion.
ESP LTD SCT-607B Stephen Carpenter Fluence Black Guitar Open Box
The SCT-607B is a purpose-built seven-string instrument engineered to capture articulate, controlled tones across extended-range tunings. Its neck-thru construction and thin U contour provide solid upper-register access and consistent playability during long tracking sessions, while the 27" baritone scale delivers the low-end definition and tuning stability required for modern metal and djent production.
Construction & Recording Response
Neck-thru construction maximizes sustain and resonance, translating to tight, defined tone in the mix across all seven strings. The 3-piece maple neck, macassar ebony fingerboard, and 24 extra-jumbo frets combine with a 350mm radius to support precise intonation and controlled articulation during recording takes, while LTD locking tuners and a TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru design ensure session-stable tuning across extended tracking windows.
Tone & Active Pickup System
Twin Fishman Fluence SRC Signature pickups in the middle and bridge positions deliver articulate, noise-controlled response with the piezo-blended character that cuts through dense mixes without feedback or excessive pickup noise. Active electronics powered by a standard 9V battery provide shaped gain and controlled output levels, while push/pull volume, tone control, and a 3-way selector offer real-time tonal adjustment for both clean recorded definition and saturated high-gain production work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Open Box mean for this guitar?
This unit was unboxed, inspected, and set up by our technicians; it is otherwise new and unplayed, ships in original packaging with all factory accessories, and is covered by our 30-day money-back return policy including any problem on arrival. It is sold at a reduced price due to the open-box status only.
Is this guitar suitable for standard tuning or drop tunings?
This is purpose-built for drop tunings and extended-range applications. The 27-inch baritone scale and neck-thru construction provide the stability and low-end articulation required for modern metal and djent; it is not optimized for standard tuning or traditional blues and jazz contexts.
What pickups are in this guitar and how do they perform in high-gain?
Twin Fishman Fluence SRC Signature pickups with piezo-blended design deliver articulate, noise-controlled response in both clean and high-gain contexts. The active electronics and responsive design cut through dense mixes while maintaining clarity across all seven strings.
How is the neck designed for extended-range playing?
The neck-thru maple construction with thin U contour and 350mm fingerboard radius rewards precision and speed, while the 24 extra-jumbo frets and 48mm molded nut width support aggressive playing techniques across all seven strings with smooth upper-fret access.
What hardware keeps the tuning stable on lower tunings?
The TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru design and LTD locking tuners anchor the extended range, working together with the 27-inch baritone scale to maintain tuning stability across drop tunings.
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.
