ESPLTD Stephen Carpenter SC-607B 7-String Baritone Electric Guitar - Magenta

As the guitarist behind Deftones, Stephen Carpenter reshaped modern heavy guitar by pairing crushing low-end tunings with precision and atmosphere. The ESP LTD Stephen Carpenter SC-607B 7-string baritone electric guitar is built to support that exact approach, delivering clarity, control and sustain where definition matters most. Neck-thru-body construction at a 27" scale length provides stability for extreme tunings, while Fishman Fluence SRC signature pickups supply multiple voicings that stay articulate under high gain. Designed for extended-range playing in studio and touring environments, the SC-607B offers a focused responsive platform for aggressive rhythm work and layered modern textures. 27" Baritone Scale for Tight Focused Low End The extended 27" scale length is central to the SC-607B’s design, maintaining proper string tension and note clarity when tuning down. This longer scale keeps the low strings tight and defined, preventing loss of articulation under high gain. A reverse headstock further reinforces tension on the lowest strings, contributing to a punchy controlled response that holds together in dense mixes. Fishman Fluence SRC Signature Pickups With Three Voices The SC-607B is equipped with Stephen Carpenter’s Fishman Fluence SRC Signature pickups, offering three distinct voicings accessible via push-pull controls. These voices shift between aggressive modern active tones, a more organic passive response and a single-coil-inspired sound that adds texture and definition. This flexibility allows the guitar to move easily from crushing rhythm parts to detailed atmospheric passages without changing instruments. Neck-Thru Construction Built for Sustain and Stability Neck-thru-body construction allows the three-piece maple neck to run the full length of the guitar, improving sustain and creating a smooth transition into the upper frets. Mahogany body wings add warmth and weight to the overall voice, balancing the clarity of the baritone scale. This construction also enhances structural stability, making the SC-607B well suited for touring and extended studio use. Neck Fingerboard and Hardware Designed for Control The thin U-shaped neck profile provides a fast comfortable feel that supports long sessions of technical playing. A Macassar ebony fingerboard fitted with 24 extra-jumbo frets offers a smooth surface for wide bends, rapid position changes and confident articulation across all seven strings. A TonePros locking TOM-style bridge with string-thru-body design and LTD locking tuners work together to maintain tuning stability and consistent response under heavy attack.

From its extended scale and neck-thru construction to its signature Fluence pickups and locking hardware, every element supports clarity in extreme tunings.
