ESP LTD SN-1007B Baritone Guitar Fire Blast
Description
ESP LTD SN-1007B Baritone Guitar Fire Blast
The SN-1007B captures extended-range tunings with rock-solid stability thanks to its 27" baritone scale, which maintains consistent string tension and articulation even in extreme downtunings. The lightweight swamp ash body paired with a roasted maple/purple heart neck delivers clarity and sustain that translates through the mix, while the thin U-shaped neck and scalloped upper frets enable fast, precise tracking of complex riffing and lead work. This instrument is engineered for studio sessions demanding both aggressive tonal character and dynamic range—ideal for metal, progressive, and other genres where extended-range versatility defines the production.
Playability & Recording Control
The compound radius fingerboard (300–400mm) accommodates both open-position chord layers and high-fret lead passes with equal comfort, streamlining multi-take sessions and reducing hand fatigue during extended recording runs. The 48mm bone nut delivers superior sustain and clear string definition crucial for capturing articulate riff work, while scalloped frets between the 17th and 24th positions provide precise intonation control and consistent attack in the upper register—essential for clean single-take performances and overdub accuracy.
Tone & Recording Electronics
Dual Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers—Alnico in the neck position and Ceramic at the bridge—capture articulate cleans and high-output driven tones with minimal noise, while pull-activated Voice 2 switching lets you toggle between two tonal signatures mid-session without re-amping. The Hipshot 7 bridge with string-thru-body design ensures tight intonation and focused sustain across all seven strings, while LTD locking tuners hold pitch stability throughout long tracking days and multiple takes, even under aggressive playing dynamics and extreme tuning depths.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the SN-1007B suitable for standard tuning, or is it really a drop-tuning instrument?
The 27-inch baritone scale is optimized for lower tunings and extended range work; it will feel looser in standard tuning compared to a conventional 25.5-inch scale guitar. This is purpose-built for metal, progressive, and drop-tuning styles—if you play standard tuning exclusively, a six-string with shorter scale length will feel more familiar.
What comes in the box?
The SN-1007B includes the guitar, a set of D'Addario XL110-7 seven-string strings, and LTD locking tuners already installed. A gig bag or case is not mentioned in the specifications, so verify separately if you need soft or hard protection.
How do the Fishman Fluence pickups compare to passive humbuckers?
Fishman Fluence Modern pickups are active electronics with push/pull Voice 2 switching that lets you flip between two tonal voicings on the fly—delivering everything from articulate cleans to high-output driven tones without rolling off the volume knob. Passive humbuckers have a more fixed character, whereas these give you real-time flexibility during recording or live performance.
What's the neck profile like for someone with smaller or larger hands?
The thin U-shaped contour is designed for speed and comfort, and the 48mm bone nut provides comfortable string spacing for intricate riffing. The compound radius fingerboard (300–400mm) smooths the transition between open-position and high-fret work; scalloped frets from the 17th to 24th position reduce fatigue during extended-range lead passages. Players should test the neck profile in person if hand size is a concern.
How does the bolt-on construction affect tone compared to neck-through designs?
Bolt-on construction offers quick attack and crisp tonal response, along with lighter overall weight. The swamp ash body and roasted maple/purple heart neck deliver clarity and sustain without sacrificing responsiveness—a trade-off that suits fast metal and progressive playing where articulation matters as much as sustain.
