Seven Degrees of T-style Tonal Terror
When it comes to high-octane riffage and pulverizing performances, ESP is the garrison of gravitas that guitarists from all over the globe — including many at Sweetwater — call upon to supercharge their sound. The ESP LTD TE-1007B reimagines the time-tested T-style tone machine for an unceasing onslaught of high-flashpoint fretwork and a deliverance of down-tuned destruction, bringing a bevy of baritone-scale barrages to your studio or stage. This sandblasted 7-string is crafted from a fusion of swamp ash, roasted maple, and Macassar ebony, with a lone Fishman Fluence Modern humbucker delivering voltaic, versatile voicing to rule the ring of riffs — it’s difficult to guard against these hard-hitting haymakers. Rock-solid hardware bookends the instrument’s 27-inch scale, with locking tuners and a Hipshot string-through bridge to keep sounds in check, buzz-free, and singing with clarity.

Forged in the fires of baritone brutality
This LTD TE-1007B’s baritone scale and 7-string configuration give you an immensely expanded range of tones to traverse — a space of potential that grows exponentially with alternate tuning and down-tuned playing. To summit these sonic peaks, ESP outfitted the TE-1007B with a formidable, focused, and flexible foundation. Swamp ash serves as the heptad’s aural architrave, thanks to its punchy and fundamental-strong voicing that elicits clear, transparent tone. A roasted maple neck builds upon the swamp ash’s straight-shooting sound, imparting smoldering warmth and sparkling brightness to the entire, extended spectrum, with discerning note-separating attributes keeping lick, leads, chords, and riffs tight and articulate. The Macassar ebony fretboard completes the TE-1007B’s tonewood triumvirate, enshrining your sound in near-limitless sustain, bell-like clarity, and sonorous projection that’s punchy in every register, yet never sacrifices definition for presence.

The ESP LTD TE-1007B is an axe that knows its place in the pantheon of performance possibilities. Considering this 7-string’s massive range and diverse playing potential, ESP tapped one of the industry’s respected names in pickups: Fishman. As the sole humbucker, mounted in the bridge position, the Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic humbucker captures the prismatic potency of the LD TE-1007B’s latent potential, giving you a menagerie of active- and passive-style voicing options, activated and navigate via the volume knob’s push-pull capabilities.
Speed, comfort, precision, and control collide
From plunging the depths of no-holds-barred breakdowns to soaring to stratospheric heights of shred-frenzy fervor, balancing playability and pliability is essential. With this LTD TE-1007B, ESP delivers a masterstroke of malleable musicality. Its roasted maple neck does more than augment the bolted-on axe’s harmonic aperture, as the increased dimensional stability amplifies resilience to the elements, meaning less time spent dealing with twisting or warping, from the workbench, and more time with your craft. Moreover, the satin-finished neck is shaped to ESP’s Thin U profile; its ebony fretboard boasts a 15.75-inch radius, effortlessly accommodating players of nearly any 7-string persuasion, with power, precision, and panache. When you add in the rear-side’s comfort-focused contouring and treble-side cutaway, an all-access pass to the instrument’s 22 frets is yours for the taking. Toss in LTD-crafted locking tuners, a string-through-capable Hipshot bridge, and robust hardware that’s teeming with satisfying tactility, and the ESP LTD TE-1007B is poised to dominate the main stage, seven baritone-scale strings at a time.
