A Smoldering, Modern, Downtuned Dynamo
The ESP BB-600 Baritone Ben Burnley Signature 6-string electric guitar is one of the most versatile signature models ever made by ESP. Co-designed with Ben Burnley of Breaking Benjamin, the BB-600 Baritone has two pickup types installed in its red-hot quilted maple top and mahogany body: a piezo under the bridge and high-quality magnetic pickups (both Seymour Duncans — a '59 and a JB) at the neck and bridge positions. The BB-600 Baritone also includes two outputs, allowing you to route the magnetic pickups' signals to one amplifier and the piezo pickup's signal to another. With its single-cutaway Eclipse body, 27-inch scale length for painless downtuning, and neck-thru Thin "U" 3-piece maple neck, the ESP BB-600 Baritone is a super-playable modern instrument that also has distinctive signature markings: custom red pickup covers, red fingerboard inlays with the Breaking Benjamin symbol, and a red LTD logo.

Pick your pickup and customize your sound
The option of blending between an under-bridge piezo pickup and the Seymour Duncan magnetic pickups opens up vast horizons of sonic possibilities — a must-have for the modern player. The ESP BB-600 Bari allows this freedom through its two outputs; simply route them each to separate amps or channels in your PA and set the levels appropriately to produce the blend you want. Sweetwater guitarists were quick to point out the advantages this feature brings to the performing artist.
Scaled right and shaped for superior playability
The BB-600B 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 makes sure you won't be robbed of the right feel. And the BB-600B offers a couple more comfort contributors. The Thin "U"-shaped 3-piece maple neck makes for extra-ergonomic, fast playing, and the Eclipse body style with single cutaway gives you enhanced access to those upper frets for soloing ease.
Significant symbols for a signature look
Breaking Benjamin went beyond creating a signature sound; they also have a band symbol, and ESP prominently displays that symbol on odd-numbered frets through fret nine. Adding to the guitar's distinctiveness are the custom red pickup covers and the red ESP LTD logo on the headstock. Those features, in combination with the mahogany body and sizzling quilted maple top, mean there's no mistaking this Ben Burnley signature axe!
