PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE

It's always a treat to get a beautiful USA-made ESP into the shop. Built in ESP's USA factory right here in California, these instruments are top-of-the-line instruments on par with their renowned, artisan-made Japanese Custom Shop guitars. Much like its 6-stringed M-series brethren, this beautiful M-7 in Crimson Mist is a real shredder. This baritone sports an extended 27" scale length so you can drop-tune to your heart's content while still having good tension on the strings and a snappy response to the feel.

The build quality is excellent. The neck is thin and even if you're new to extended range guitars, it shouldn't take long to get used to. It's definitely designed, from top to bottom, to be a hard-rockin' shredder's axe. The action right out of the box is low and the playability is super easy with these.

This one's loaded with EMG's 81-7X & 85-7X active pickups, which take the iconic 81 & 85 set that has come to define modern metal to the next level - the new X preamp gives these pickups even more juice, power, and clarity. This guitar cuts through a dense mix like a hot knife through butter, and just sounds absolutely unbelievable through gain, staying tight and dynamic regardless of how much distortion you throw at it.
