ESP LTD SN-1007B Baritone Guitar Fire Blast B-Stock

ESP LTD SN-1007B Baritone Guitar Fire Blast

The SN-1007B is engineered for capturing aggressive, articulate recordings across extended tunings and demanding session work. Its thin U-shaped neck profile and scalloped upper frets enable effortless execution during overdubs and lead tracking, while the 27" baritone scale maintains rock-solid string tension and stability at extreme tunings—critical for maintaining intonation consistency across multiple takes. The lightweight swamp ash body and roasted maple/purple heart neck deliver clarity and sustain that cut through dense mixes, while the responsive character translates well to both close-mic and room-mic recording chains. A purpose-built instrument for producers and engineers tracking metal, progressive, and other styles demanding both aggressive tonal character and tracking versatility.

Playability & Studio Feel

The compound radius fingerboard (300–400mm) smooths the transition between open-position chord tracking and high-fret solo work, reducing fatigue during lengthy session hours. The 48mm bone nut delivers superior sustain and comfortable string spacing for intricate riff passes, while scalloped frets between the 17th and 24th positions minimize resistance during fast lead takes and provide precise upper-register control that translates to cleaner recordings with fewer artifacts.

Tone & Recording Electronics

Dual Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers—Alnico in the neck position and Ceramic at the bridge—offer tracking flexibility from articulate rhythm tones to high-output driven textures, with pull-activated Voice 2 switching for capturing multiple tonal characters in a single session. The Hipshot 7 bridge with string-thru-body design maximizes sustain and intonation precision across all seven strings, ensuring consistent tracking performance, while LTD locking tuners provide the tuning stability required for back-to-back takes and lower-tuning work.
