I'm looking to purchase a new guitar and I've narrowed it down to either the ESP LTD SC607B (baritone 27'' scale) or ESP LTD SC-207 (standard 25.5'' scale)... Here is a link to the ESP Stephen Carpenter series if you need to check specs The ESP Guitar Company | 2011 USA Website
I mostly play metal so I use multiple different down tunings (hence why I figured a baritone may be a good choice). I do currently own a 25.5'' scale Washburn 7 string that I got years ago so I am familiar with playing 7 strings however since I'm a girl i don't have HUGE guy hands.. I have medium sized female hands.
So here are my main questions:
- Will it be significantly harder to play a baritone because of the extended neck? how much differently is the fret spacing on a baritone vs standard?
- Why did some of you choose to play or not play a baritone?
- What personal reviews/experiences can you tell me about either guitar?
- What additional helpful information or advice do you have?
Thank you!
