ESP LTD SC-607B Stephen Carpenter Signature 7-string Baritone Electric Guitar - Magenta

ESP LTD SC-607B Stephen Carpenter Signature 7-String Baritone Guitar - Magenta | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The ESP LTD SC-607B is the official signature 7-string baritone electric guitar of Stephen Carpenter — the rhythmic architect and lead guitarist behind the Deftones' genre-defining sound — available now at No Limit Guitar Co in Idaho Falls. Built to Carpenter's personal specifications with a 27" baritone scale, neck-through mahogany construction, Fishman Fluence SRC Signature active pickups with three voiced modes, and a TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-through tailpiece, it is a direct recreation of the instrument Carpenter plays every day. If you've ever wanted to access the low-end weight, extended range, and tonal versatility at the core of the Deftones' guitar sound, this is the instrument built to get you there.

Product Overview

The mahogany Super-S body delivers the projection, sustain, and natural warmth that mahogany is known for in heavy music contexts, providing a dense, resonant platform for the extended low-end response the 27" baritone scale demands. Neck-through construction — in which the neck runs as a continuous piece through the entire length of the body — maximizes sustain and upper-fret access while eliminating the tonal discontinuity of a bolt-on or set-neck heel. The gloss Magenta finish with matching headstock directly mirrors Carpenter's personal instrument aesthetic, making the SC-607B one of the most visually faithful signature reproductions in the LTD catalog.

The 3-piece maple neck is shaped to a Thin U profile with a gloss finish, providing a fast, comfortable feel suited to both rhythmic chord work and single-note lead playing across the extended 7-string range. Macassar ebony — dense, articulate, and smooth — covers the 24-fret fingerboard at a flat 15.7" radius, maintaining consistent playability across all positions and virtually eliminating fret-out during aggressive bends on the higher strings. Extra-jumbo frets across all 24 positions and a 1.88" nut width accommodate the wider string spacing of a 7-string layout without crowding.

Electronics are built around Fishman Fluence SRC Signature humbuckers — Carpenter's own pickup choice — which offer three distinct voiced modes accessed via a push/pull volume control. A 5-way blade switch, volume, and tone control complete a surprisingly flexible electronics package for a signature metal instrument. The TonePros locking TOM-style bridge with string-through tailpiece locks saddle and post position to prevent slipping under heavy use, while LTD locking tuners eliminate headstock string slippage for reliable tuning across drop and extended-range tunings.

Ideal For

• Extended-range and 7-string guitarists seeking a professional baritone electric guitar engineered for modern heavy, alternative metal, and progressive playing styles
• Deftones fans and Stephen Carpenter enthusiasts who want a direct recreation of his personal instrument built to his exact specifications
• Drop-tuning players who need the lower string tension and extended low-end response of a 27" baritone scale for sub-drop and extended-range tunings
• Players who value the tonal flexibility of Fishman Fluence active pickups with multiple voiced modes in a single, stage-ready instrument
• Idaho Falls guitar players exploring 7-string and baritone instruments at No Limit Guitar Co

Key Features

27" Baritone Scale with Neck-Through Mahogany Construction The 27" baritone scale increases string tension relative to a standard 25.5" instrument, producing tighter, more defined low-end response that remains articulate and clear even in the lowest drop tunings. Neck-through construction maximizes sustain across all 24 frets and provides seamless upper-register access — a critical feature for the kind of lead playing Carpenter layers over the Deftones' dense rhythmic foundation.

Fishman Fluence SRC Signature Humbuckers with Three Voices The Fishman Fluence SRC Signature pickups are the same active humbucker system Carpenter uses on his personal instruments, offering three distinctly voiced modes accessible via the push/pull volume control. Each voice delivers a different tonal character — from vintage-flavored PAF warmth to modern, high-output active response — giving the SC-607B a tonal range well beyond what a conventional active or passive system provides.

5-Way Blade Switch and Push/Pull Voice Select The combination of a 5-way blade switch across two humbuckers and a push/pull voice selector on the volume control produces a wide matrix of pickup and voice combinations. This level of tonal flexibility is unusual in the signature metal guitar category and reflects Carpenter's well-documented interest in broad sonic exploration within a heavy context.

Macassar Ebony Fingerboard at 15.7" Radius Macassar ebony's density and natural articulation make it a natural match for high-output, extended-range playing where note clarity and definition are paramount. The flat 15.7" radius keeps the playing surface consistent across all positions and virtually eliminates fret-out under aggressive bending — particularly important across the wider string spacing of a 7-string baritone layout.

TonePros Locking TOM Bridge with String-Through Tailpiece TonePros hardware locks the bridge saddles and anchor posts in place, preventing the positional creep that can affect intonation and action stability under heavy use. String-through body construction increases break angle and sustain by routing strings through the body before anchoring at the bridge, adding resonance and coupling compared to a top-mounted stop tailpiece.

Extra-Jumbo Frets and LTD Locking Tuners Extra-jumbo fret height reduces the fretting force needed for clean note production, contributing to faster, more effortless technical playing across the full 24-fret range. LTD locking tuners lock string pitch at the headstock for faster string changes and reliable tuning stability across aggressive picking, drop tunings, and extended live use.
