A 7 string guitar with a scale length greater than 25,5", typically 27". Baritone is about the scale length not the number of strings.

Yep its a 27" scale. I have it setup in ADGCFAD tuning with 9-56. If it was 25.5" scale I'd use 10-60. The longer scale lets me get away with lighter strings which I feel strongly helps out the clarity and tone of the bottom end.

Can we all just agree that Nick should design all our guitars?

Thats the plan! ;)

HNGD! Are neck stripes visible on purpose?

That happens sometimes with satin finishes on neck-thrus, im cool with it!
Single Bridge Pickup: STRICTLY BUSINESS :shred:

Hell yeah. No desire to blues on this one :)

Looks sick. 100% on the bridge pickup only and support the ragnarok choice ;p

But you NEED a neck pickup bro!! :D

I assure you I dont :) I do have some guitars with neck pickups. On baritones I prefer just to use the bridge. Neck pickups sound better with short scales :)

That's incredible. Why aren't these just standard models?

Knowing ESP, it probably one day will be. Theyve used a bunch of my ideas in the past for production models.

Very nice, would have a neck pu myself but each to his own, also not normally a fan of silver finishes but that looks great.

Wow that is a cool guitar. I love metallic finishes, and this one is particularly cool. I have three E-II Horizon 7 strings and am blown away by the quality; I could only imagine how great a custom shop ESP would be! Congrats on a cool guitar!

Nice finish and clean/simple layout. The color reminds me a lot of the ESP Page Hamilton signature guitar.
