Deftones guitarist Stephen Carpenter has partnered with ESP to bring you the 7-string LTD Stephen Carpenter SC-607 Baritone — an electric that’s built for tone and performance and lets you explore your own hard-hitting style and sound with incredible playability and tone. This 7-string behemoth features a beautiful mahogany body with a sleek satin finish and a gorgeous 3-piece maple neck with ebony fingerboard for stellar playability and response. And for hard-hitting baritone tone, this signature axe features dual Fishman Fluence Stephen Carpenter Signature pickups with push-pull control that lets you switch between active and passive voices. And with a TonePros locking Tune-o-matic bridge, you get incredible sustain and tone support.
Neck designed to rock
The SC-607 Baritone gives you a classic neck-through design for killer sustain, great tone support, and easy access to upper frets. The extended 27" scale gives you more octaves, more notes, and more melodic exploration. The thin “U” profile of the 3-piece maple neck is comfortable in the hand for hours of playing. The ebony fingerboard and 24 extra-jumbo frets pair for effortless bends and heavy power chording.
Best of both worlds in tone!
The dual Fishman Fluence pickups in the LTD SC-607 Baritone take their cues from the Fishman modern humbucker and let you tap into both active and passive voices with simple push-pull control. “Modern Active” delivers everything you expect in an active pickup: full, round, and boosted. “Modern Passive Attack” delivers a clean, crisp tone. Both voices have been spec’d by Carpenter to deliver hot humbucking tone along with exceptional note clarity and definition, even under a strong pick attack. And paired with the TonePros locking Tune-o-matic bridge, both of these voices are allowed to churn, chug, and hold their sustain with the incredible intensity that drives the heavy sound of modern alternative metal.
