ESP LTD Phoenix-7 Black Metal 7-String Baritone Electric Guitar - Black Red Burst Satin

The ESP LTD Phoenix-7 Black Metal 7-String Baritone electric guitar brings the stripped-down aggression of LTD's Black Metal design approach to a Phoenix platform built for lower tunings. Its 27" baritone scale, neck-thru-body construction, mahogany body wings, maple cap and thin U-shaped 3-piece mahogany neck support tight response and strong sustain across the extended range. A Macassar ebony fingerboard with 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets keeps the feel fast and clean, while the Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil 7 String 3-Voice active bridge pickup and 3-way voice toggle provide aggressive output with multiple voicing options for heavy rhythm work, leads and modern high-gain textures.

Phoenix Shape With 27" Baritone Range

The Phoenix body gives the Phoenix-7 Black Metal a sweeping offset silhouette that feels distinct from standard extended-range designs. Its 27" scale length helps maintain tension for lower tunings, giving seven-string players a firmer feel and clearer note attack when riffs move into deeper registers. That combination of scale length, body shape and stripped-down Black Metal styling makes the instrument feel purpose-built for aggressive modern metal rather than simply adapted for it.

Neck-Thru Mahogany and Maple Construction

Neck-thru-body construction connects the thin U 3-piece mahogany neck through the core of the instrument, supporting long sustain and stable response across the extended scale. Mahogany body wings add weight and midrange authority, while the maple cap adds definition to the attack. The result is a guitar that can stay focused under high gain while still giving wide, low-tuned chords enough body to sound massive.

Macassar Ebony Board With Stainless Frets

An unadorned Macassar ebony fingerboard keeps the playing surface clean and fast, with no inlays to interrupt the Black Metal aesthetic. The 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets provide a durable, modern feel for wide bends, precise vibrato and heavier left-hand pressure. A reverse headstock reinforces the aggressive look while keeping the guitar visually aligned with the Black Metal identity.

Mortal Coil Active Bridge Pickup

The Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil 7 String 3-Voice active bridge pickup gives the Phoenix-7 a powerful single-pickup voice with more flexibility than a simple one-sound metal machine. A 3-way toggle selects between the pickup voices, letting players move between different active bridge responses for tight rhythm, cutting attack and more expressive lead work. The simplified electronics layout keeps the guitar direct, immediate and easy to command on stage.

TonePros Hardware and Locking Tuners

Black hardware completes the dark aesthetic, while LTD locking tuners support fast string changes and stable tuning. A TonePros locking TOM-style bridge with string-thru-body design anchors the extended-range setup with a firm, sustain-focused feel. For players who want a seven-string baritone with Phoenix style, stripped-down Black Metal design and a focused active bridge pickup, the LTD Phoenix-7 Black Metal is built to make low-tuned riffs feel controlled and imposing.
