Description

The ESP LTD Jack Simmons Signature JS-7 Baritone is a purpose-built 7 string designed for ultra-tight, down-tuned metal. With a 27 inch baritone scale, neck-thru construction and premium Fishman Fluence Open Core Modern electronics, it delivers crushing low-end clarity and surgical precision, all wrapped up in a stealthy Black finish that looks as brutal as it sounds.

Built to handle the demands of modern extreme music, the JS-7 pairs a resonant mahogany body with a three-piece maple neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard for a fast, stable and highly responsive feel. The extended scale length keeps low tunings articulate and in tune, while stainless steel frets and a Thin U neck profile let you rip complex riffs and leads with ease.

At the heart of the JS-7 is a single Fishman Fluence Open Core Modern 7 string humbucker, direct-mounted for maximum punch and definition. With three selectable voices via the push-pull volume control, you can instantly move from tight, aggressive rhythm tones to cutting leads or a more organic, dynamic response, all with the low noise and consistency that Fluence pickups are known for.

High-end hardware completes the package. ESP locking tuners and a Hipshot 7 string bridge with string-thru body construction provide rock-solid tuning stability and excellent sustain, ideal for heavy chugs, rapid-fire trem-picked lines and extended-range chord work. If you need a no-nonsense, stage-ready baritone 7 string that excels in modern metal, the Jack Simmons JS-7 is built to deliver.

Fishman Fluence Open Core Modern 3 Voice Humbucker

The direct-mounted Fishman Fluence Open Core Modern 7 string humbucker provides three distinct voices accessed via the push-pull volume control. From tight, percussive high-gain tones to more open, expressive sounds, you get studio-grade clarity and consistency at any gain level, making it easy to cover rhythm, lead and ambient parts with a single pickup.

27 Inch Baritone Scale for Tight Low Tunings

The extended 27 inch baritone scale length keeps low tunings focused and articulate, reducing floppiness on the lower strings and improving intonation across the neck. This gives your riffs more punch and definition, especially when tuning down for modern metal and djent styles.

Neck-Thru Construction with Thin U Profile

Neck-thru construction enhances sustain and upper fret access, with a smooth transition between neck and body. Combined with the Thin U neck profile and Macassar ebony fingerboard, the JS-7 feels fast and comfortable for long sets, technical riffing and wide stretches.

Premium Hardware for Stability and Sustain

ESP locking tuners and a Hipshot 7 string bridge with string-thru body design work together to provide exceptional tuning stability and resonance. Whether you are digging in with heavy palm mutes or playing intricate passages, the guitar stays in tune and responds consistently.

Baritone Guitar

A baritone guitar sits between a standard electric guitar and a bass, using a longer scale length and heavier strings to reach lower tunings with clarity and tension. It’s ideal for players who want deeper, heavier tones without losing the feel and expression of a guitar, making it popular in ambient, alternative, metal, and cinematic styles. Baritone guitars excel at tight, defined low notes, rich chord voicings, and expanded harmonic range, especially when standard guitars start to sound loose or muddy when tuned down. They’re also a great creative tool, encouraging different chord shapes, riff ideas, and songwriting approaches that sit in a unique space within a mix.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Explore electric, acoustic and bass guitars across a wide range of playing styles, body shapes and specifications. The most useful differences include scale length, construction, pickup type, neck profile, materials and whether the instrument is intended for amplified, acoustic or hybrid use. Use the narrower guitar categories and feature tags to compare instruments with similar designs rather than relying on appearance alone.
