Created by respected guitar innovator Stephen Carpenter of Deftones, the ESP STEF-B7 is handcrafted by ESP luthiers in our Tokyo, Japan Custom Shop. It’s a 7-string, neck-thru-body designed at 27” baritone scale. The STEF-B7 features an alder body with maple neck and ebony fingerboard, along with Sperzel locking tuners and a TonePros locking TOM bridge. Perhaps the highlight of this guitar that was updated in 2016 is its Fishman Fluence SRC Signature active pickup set. Each pickup has multiple voicings; use the push-pull control on the volume knob to select the one you want. On the middle alnico pickup, push down for “Modern Active” tone or pull up for “Modern Passive Attack”. On the bridge ceramic pickup, push down for “Modern Passive Attack” tone or pull up for “Modern Active” voicing. This model includes Fishman’s universal USB rechargeable battery pack. Available in Black finish.
