ESP LTD H-1007 Koa Baritone 7-string electric guitar

General

The H-1007B Koa Baritone is a top-quality 7-string guitar from ESP LTD. This model from the Deluxe series is instantly recognisable thanks to the Hawaiian koa finish on the maple Horizon body. From the fixed Hipshot bridge to the active EMG humbuckers, everything about this model is geared to producing a heavy sound and optimal playing comfort. For anyone looking for a special 7-string guitar with an unbelievably tight sound and a unique look, this ESP LTD should be on your list. You'll have to act quickly if you want one though, because this model is a strictly limited edition.

H-1007B Koa: tighter than tight

This axe is fitted with two active EMG humbuckers. In the bridge position is an EMG 81-7X with a ceramic magnet that delivers detailed tones with plenty of high frequencies. In the neck position, an EMG 60-7X offers an open, bright sound. Both pickups use an active preamp that gives the low B string plenty of punch and clarity. Even in Drop-A the sound won't become muddied. The X series pickups combine the shredding sounds that you expect from active EMG humbuckers, with the attack sensitivity and soul of passive pickups.

Optimal playing comfort

The ESP LTD H-1007B Koa is a baritone guitar. Thanks to the longer scale length of 27 inches, the strings feel tighter than on a standard model. This makes playing fast and tight riffs on the lower strings easier. Playing comfort is further enhanced by the thin neck's U profile and ebony fretboard. The neck is made of 5-ply maple and bubinga for optimal stability, with the 24 extra jumbo frets easily accessible due to the neck-through construction. Finally, excellent tuning stability, sustain and intonation is provided by the fixed string-through-body Hipshot bridge.
