The ESP E-II T-B7 Baritone offers serious extended-range performance that's tailor-made for hard-hitting, down-tuned mayhem. This 7-string electric guitar's alder body exhibits a balanced acoustic tone with equal doses of lows, mids, and highs, and its 27-inch scale length allows down-tuning while maintaining proper string tension and a great feel. You'll appreciate the feel and playability of the E-II T-B7 Baritone's Thin "U" maple neck, which is capped by a lightning-fast 12-inch-radius, 24-fret ebony fingerboard with extra-jumbo frets. Moreover, active EMG pickups dish out an arsenal of formidable tones. To top it off, the E-II T-B7 Baritone includes a Tonepros locking TOM bridge and Gotoh locking tuners, ensuring rock-solid tuning stability.





Top-shelf tonewoods deliver superior sound





ESP wasn't fooling around when they built the E-II T-B7 Baritone. They started with an alder body, which is reputed to be one of the most balanced tonewoods out there. You also get a comfortable 3-piece maple neck, which is capped by a 12-inch-radius, 24-fret ebony fingerboard with extra-jumbo frets. The result is a sonically flexible 7-string electric guitar with incredible playability.





Active EMG pickups yield loads of clarity and punch





The ESP E-II T-B7 Baritone is fitted with a time-tested pair of active EMG pickups. When it comes to modern rock and cutting-edge metals, you just can't beat the sound of EMG's EMG 81-7 and EMG 707 humbuckers. The guitarists here at Sweetwater know that if you're deploying a low B or A, then there's no use even trying a passive pickup. Designed specifically for 7-string guitars, EMG's 81-7 and 707 give you an arsenal of formidable tone that's ideal for metal, fusion, and most any flavor of rock.





Scaled right for superior playability





This E-II T-B7 Baritone is a baritone guitar with a 27-inch scale length, so you can tune down without messing up your string tension. The benefit of access to the lower register that down-tuning provides can be offset by improper string tension; ESP made sure you won't be robbed of the right feel. Beyond that, its Thin "U"-shaped neck makes for extra-ergonomic, fast riffing.
