ESP LTD Alex Wade XJ Signature 7-String Baritone Guitar - Black Satin | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The ESP LTD Alex Wade XJ Signature 7-String Baritone Electric Guitar delivers uncompromising heavy tone and precision engineering designed for extreme metal and deathcore applications. This professional-grade instrument features a 27-inch baritone scale length optimized for down-tuned playing, combined with innovative EverTune bridge technology for perfect intonation. Designed for advanced players seeking crushing low-end response, exceptional tuning stability, and the signature sound that has defined Whitechapel's devastating rhythm guitar attack.
Product Overview
The Alex Wade XJ showcases premium multi-wood construction with a swamp ash body topped with maple and swamp ash veneer, delivering exceptional sustain and tonal clarity even in the lowest tunings. The offset body shape provides excellent balance and comfortable access to all 24 extra jumbo stainless steel frets. The striking Black Satin finish gives this instrument a professional, stage-ready appearance that matches its serious performance capabilities.
The 5-piece neck construction combines maple, walnut, and padauk woods for incredible strength and stability under the tension of seven strings and extended scale length. The Thin U neck profile allows fast, comfortable playing despite the wider 7-string configuration. The Macassar ebony fingerboard with 15.74-inch radius provides smooth playability for both rhythm work and technical lead passages.
At the heart of this guitar's crushing tone lies the single DiMarzio D-Activator 7 humbucker, strategically positioned in the bridge for maximum attack and clarity. This high-output pickup is specifically designed for extended-range guitars, delivering tight low-end response without muddiness. The revolutionary EverTune F Model bridge ensures perfect intonation across all strings and tunings, eliminating the tuning inconsistencies that plague many extended-range instruments.
