Description

Perhaps more than any other LTD guitar, the SC-607 Baritone is the instrument most closely associated with Deftones guitarist and longtime ESP player Stephen Carpenter. The latest incarnation of this 7-string, 27” scale baritone guitar is being made available in a great-looking Purple Satin finish. The SC-607 Baritone is a neck-thru-body guitar with a three-piece maple neck and mahogany body wings. Its pickups are Stef’s Fishman Fluence SRC Signature set, with a push-pull control to switch between voicings. Hit also features a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece, and LTD locking tuners.

FISHMAN FLUENCE SRC SIGNATURE
Stephen is a player’s player, preferring to concentrate more on his music than equipment. “My signature pickup set has the full range of tones that you’re looking for. Voice 1 is similar to the tone of the original Modern Humbucker Fluence set. And for the second voice, I like a bit more heat, some hot stuff on it… more edge, so that’s in there too.”

Each Fishman Fluence pickup has two distinct and useful sounds on-board. These sounds start with the revolutionary Fluence Core, the heart of Fluence tone. From this Fluence Core we then create the classic timbres and tone — colors you expect from great guitar pickups — as well as some you’ve never expected.

“I was never the super-critical guy. I’m not much for specs, but I like clean, full sounding pickups. We put Fluence in and I jammed on them for 45 minutes and thought… ‘these things are freaking great…’ I didn’t want to stop playing.”
