Built in the ESP Custom Shop in Japan, the STEF-T7B is Stephen Carpenter’s signature 7-string baritone designed for tight low-end response, clarity under gain, and modern extended-range performance. The 27" scale length and neck-thru construction keep low tunings articulate and controlled, while the alder body and maple neck provide a balanced tonal foundation with strong mids and definition. Paired with Fishman Fluence SRC Signature pickups, this is a purpose-built instrument for aggressive, down-tuned playing without sacrificing note separation or dynamic range.
