ESP LTD Phoenix-7 Baritone Black Metal

The LTD Black Metal Series is comparable in build quality to our LTD Deluxe “1000 Series” instruments, but with a dark and menacing design theme of all-black finish, components, and hardware, a single premium-quality bridge pickup, Macassar ebony fingerboards with no inlays and glow-in-the-dark side markers, and even a newly-designed black metal LTD logo on the headstock. With the LTD Phoenix Black Metal, you get a powerful extended-range version of the Phoenix with seven strings and 27” baritone scale. It features neck-thru-body construction using a three-piece mahogany neck and mahogany body wings. The outstanding tones on the Phoenix-7 Baritone Black Metal come from its Fishman Modern 7-String Humbucker pickup, with a push-pull control to select between its Modern Active and Modern Passive voicings. This guitar also features 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, LTD locking tuners, and a TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body.

The music you've written here for the demo is fantastic Bobby. Those tones coming from the quad cortex are savage. I'm a phoenix collector myself, I may need to get my hands on this 7 string baritone model, and add it to the collection. Thanks for the heavy riffs and inspiration. 🤘🤘

[@bobbylynge]

Thanks so much for the kind words! You absolutely need to add this beast to the arsenal

EXTREMELY SCREAMO

[@deadspeak1126]

Does that 27 scale present more of a challenge in playability than a 25.5?

[@willtato8778]

Personally, I didn't see too much difference. The main difference for me is that if in standard tuning (or close to it), the high e might feel a little tight and sound a little shrill/chimey compared to 25.5" or shorter.

[@oddcalm]

Hey Bobby! How does the push/pull work on that Fishman? Is is switching between active/passive or is it a humbucker/single coil split?

[@bobbylynge]

Yo! Single coil split!

[@jamesraub3985]

Active/Passive

This and ex7 are no where to be found how did you get it ? Plus hope you'll make some playthrough with it without a mix! Cheers

[@bobbylynge]

I was fortunate enough to try it out for about a week prior to the NAMM show. I believe this currently the only one that exists in the u.s. but I could be wrong. The 2022 line should be ready early next year

[@goncaloferreira72]

What case do you use for it?

[@mjtan6787]

Finally a video about this guitar! Is the pickup passive or active?

[@minstrel9806]

Considering it's a Fishman, it's probably active

[@jratlo4420]

[@minstrel9806]

@@jratlo4420 not really, fishman pickups have a second voicing which makes them sound more similar to a passive pickup, but the pickup itself is still active
