For those of you who like to explore the depths of extended range tunings, the LTD Deluxe M-1007 Baritone is a big contender for your next guitar. Offering set-thru construction for unobstructed access to the highest frets, the M-1007 baritone is a seven-string guitar built at a full 27” baritone scale, allowing for extreme downtuning while maintaining excellent string tension. It offers a comfortable and resonant alder body with an outstanding quilted maple top, and an extra-thin u-shaped three-piece maple neck. It has a bound Macassar ebony fingerboard with offset mother-of-pearl dot inlays and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, and a bound matching-finish reverse headstock. Components on the M-1007 Baritone include a Floyd Rose 1000 SE double-locking tremolo with stainless steel screws and precise Grover tuners. Its sound is powered by a set of direct-mounted Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker active pickups (ceramic in the bridge and alnico in the neck), with push-pull control to select voicings and black nickel covers to match this guitar’s outstanding aesthetics. Each pickup offers two voices. With the ceramic bridge pickup, Voice 1 is the ultimate high-output ceramic humbucker bridge pickup tone… crisp, searing crunch, tight bass with no mud, and a growl. Voice 2 delivers modern passive attack performance that has superbly organic distortion characteristics with outstanding dynamics and response. The alnico neck pickup’s Voice 1 is Fishman’s modern active high-output tone, offering the ideal active alnico sound: full, round, and boosted, but with unprecedented articulation and dynamics. Voice 2 gives you the crisp, clean and fluid neck humbucker tone you’ve always wanted.
