ESP LTD M-7 Baritone Black Metal II Black Red Burst Satin

Baritone range meets the pared-down Black Metal concept!

The ESP LTD M-7HT Baritone Black Metal II is designed as a 7-string electric guitar focused squarely on modern, low guitar sounds. Rather than an extensive pickup configuration, this M Series model takes a deliberately stripped-back approach, with a single active Seymour Duncan MortalCoil 7 String 3-Voice Humbucker at the bridge. Combined with the long baritone scale and fixed Hipshot bridge, this creates an instrument built around extended range, low tunings and precise playing.

27 inches for extended range and downtuning

The 27" scale is a key feature of the M-7HT. Compared with a traditional guitar scale, it provides a tighter foundation for all seven strings, particularly in low tunings. The guitar ships with a D'Addario XL110-7 set, from .010 to .059. The fixed Hipshot Hardtail bridge uses string-through-body construction and has no tremolo system. This keeps the design straightforward and focused on a stable baritone setup.

Neck-through construction and a fast feel

The alder body connects to a neck-through construction with a 3-piece maple neck. The Extra Thin U profile underscores the modern character of the M Series and, together with the Makassar ebony fingerboard, provides a foundation suited to fast, controlled playing techniques. The 15.75" fingerboard radius is correspondingly flat. 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets complete the contemporary design of this 7-string baritone guitar.

Three voices from one Seymour Duncan humbucker

The M-7HT's electronics are deliberately straightforward. The direct-mounted Seymour Duncan MortalCoil 7 String Humbucker is active and offers three different voices. A separate 3-way switch selects between them, while a single volume control adjusts the output level. The Black Metal Series' streamlined single-pickup configuration combines simple controls with several available tonal characters.

Purposefully pared-down hardware

LTD locking tuners, the Hipshot Hardtail bridge and strings routed through the body carry the functional concept through to the hardware. There are no fingerboard inlays, keeping the design focused on the essentials. The ESP LTD M-7HT Baritone Black Metal II is for guitarists seeking a 7-string baritone guitar with a long scale, fixed bridge, neck-through construction and versatile active bridge humbucker.
