ESP LTD Stephen Carpenter SC-608 Baritone 8-String Electric Guitar w/ Case - Yellow

The ESP LTD SCT-608B is the ultimate 8-string baritone designed in collaboration with Deftones’ riff architect, Stephen Carpenter. Built for crushing low-end precision and brutal articulation, this 27” scale beast is loaded with cutting-edge features and a no-frills attitude. The sleek neck-thru-body construction enhances sustain and stability, while the bold Yellow finish commands stage presence.

Crafted with a mahogany body, 3-piece maple neck, and a fast Thin U contour, this 8-string is built to handle aggressive rhythms and technical playing. A Macassar ebony fingerboard with a 400mm radius and 24 XJ frets gives you all the real estate you need to explore extended range territory comfortably. The star of the show is a pair of Fishman Fluence Stephen Carpenter Signature pickups, offering three voicings selectable via push/pull volume. Paired with a Hipshot bridge and LTD locking tuners, this guitar delivers tuning stability and intonation you can trust.
