Description

The ESP LTD Phoenix-7 Baritone Black Metal II is a no-compromise extended-range machine, purpose-built for modern metal players who live in lower tunings. With its 27 inch baritone scale, neck-thru construction and single Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil 7 active pickup, it delivers crushing clarity, massive sustain and a stripped-back aesthetic that fits perfectly on the darkest of stages. Combining a mahogany body with a maple cap, a fast Thin U 3-piece mahogany neck and a slick Makassar ebony fingerboard, the Phoenix-7 Baritone balances brutal rhythm power with articulate lead response. Locking hardware keeps everything rock solid, while the Black Redburst Satin finish and blackout appointments complete the stealthy Black Metal II vibe. Extended-Range Baritone Power With its 27 inch baritone scale length and 7-string layout, the Phoenix-7 Baritone Black Metal II is designed to handle lower tunings with ease. The longer scale increases string tension, keeping the low B and dropped tunings tight, defined and in tune, so your riffs stay punchy and precise even under extreme gain. Neck-Thru Sustain and Upper-Fret Access Neck-thru construction runs the 3-piece mahogany neck all the way through the body, maximising sustain and resonance while giving you seamless access to the upper frets. Combined with the Thin U contour and smooth heel, it feels fast and comfortable whether you are chugging low riffs or flying through high-register leads. Focused, Aggressive Tonality The classic pairing of a mahogany body with a maple cap delivers a powerful, full-bodied sound with plenty of low-end weight and midrange punch, while the maple adds clarity and attack. The Makassar ebony fingerboard further tightens the response, giving you a crisp, articulate feel that keeps complex chords and rapid picking lines clear in the mix. Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil 7 Versatility A single Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil 7 active bridge humbucker provides a streamlined, noise-free platform with three selectable voices. From tight, modern high-gain to more open, dynamic responses, you can quickly tailor your sound via the dedicated voice toggle, keeping your setup simple while still covering a wide range of metal tones. Key Features 27 Inch Baritone 7-String Scale – The extended 27 inch scale length increases string tension on the low strings, improving tuning stability, note definition and feel in lower tunings. This makes the Phoenix-7 ideal for modern metal styles that rely on tight, downtuned riffs. Neck-Thru 3-Piece Mahogany Neck – Neck-thru construction with a 3-piece mahogany neck enhances sustain and resonance across the entire instrument. The Thin U contour offers a fast, ergonomic feel that suits both technical rhythm work and fluid soloing. Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil 7 3-Voice Active Pickup – The single Mortal Coil 7 active bridge humbucker delivers high output with clarity and low noise, while the three selectable voices let you move from tight, aggressive metal tones to more open, expressive sounds without changing your rig. Locking Hardware and String-Thru Bridge – A TonePros locking Tune-o-Matic bridge with string-thru body design, paired with LTD locking tuners, provides rock-solid tuning stability and excellent sustain. Once set up, your strings stay secure through heavy playing, bends and aggressive picking.
