    ESP LTD M-7 Black Metal Baritone Guitar

    The ESP LTD M-7 Black Metal Baritone Guitar is the type of guitar you build a setlist around. It has a 27" baritone scale, neck-thru-body construction, and a Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil pickup with three distinct voices. This 7-string is made for players who treat low end like a personality trait. It's every bit as serious as it sounds.

    Built for Speed and Low-End Power

    The M-7's classic ESP M body shape has always been a favorite for players who move fast, and this baritone version adds serious low-end muscle to the equation. The 27" scale length gives you the string tension you need for heavy downtuning without turning your strings into rubber bands.

    • 27" Baritone Scale: Delivers tight, punchy low end and extended range downtuning while keeping string tension right where you want it.
    • Neck-Thru-Body Construction: Provides excellent sustain and a seamless playing feel from the lowest fret to the highest.
    • Extra-Thin U-Shaped Maple Neck: A fast, comfortable 3-piece maple neck built for shredding without fatigue.

    Tone That Demands to Be Heard

    A guitar built for metal needs a pickup that can keep up, and the Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil delivers in a way most single-pickup guitars can't. With three switchable voices, you get way more tonal range than a typical bridge humbucker without ever touching a second pickup.

    • Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil 7 Active Pickup: An active humbucker built specifically for 7-string players chasing clarity and aggression.
    • 3-Way Voice Selector Toggle: Switch between three distinct tones from a single pickup, so you're covered from tight rhythm chugs to searing leads.
    • Macassar Ebony Fingerboard: Smooth, unadorned, and built for fast fretwork across all 24 frets.

    Built to Hold Its Tune

    Every detail on the M-7 is built to hold tuning and keep your downtuned riffs locked in place, night after night. The hardware here isn't an afterthought, it's part of the reason this guitar can handle extended range tuning without losing composure.

    • Hipshot Hardtail Bridge: A string-thru-body design that boosts sustain and tuning stability under heavy playing.
    • LTD Locking Tuners: Keep your strings in tune through aggressive bends and low tunings.
    • Black Hardware Finish: Matches the Black Red Burst Satin body for a sleek, cohesive look.

    Is the M-7 Your Next Axe?

    The ESP LTD M-7 Black Metal Baritone Guitar brings together extended range tuning, serious sustain, and genuinely versatile tone in one instrument. If your riffs need more low end and your pickup selection could use a third option, this 7-string baritone is ready to go to work.
