The ESP LTD Alex Wade AW-XJ7 Baritone EverTune electric guitar is a high-performance instrument designed for modern metal and progressive players who demand extended range, exceptional tuning stability and a powerful, aggressive tone. This signature model, crafted in collaboration with Whitechapel guitarist Alex Wade, features a 7-string baritone scale, a revolutionary EverTune bridge and a resonant swamp ash body, making it ideal for pushing the boundaries of heavy music.

EverTune Bridge for Unwavering Tuning Stability

The AW-XJ7 is equipped with an EverTune bridge, a revolutionary technology that provides unparalleled tuning stability. This bridge constantly balances string tension, ensuring that your guitar stays in tune no matter how aggressively you play or how extreme your bends and vibrato techniques are. With the EverTune bridge, you can focus on your performance without worrying about tuning issues, even during extended playing sessions or challenging environmental conditions. 

7-String Baritone Scale for Extended Range and Powerful Tone

This baritone electric guitar features a 7-string, 27" scale length, providing an extended range that opens up new sonic possibilities for down-tuned riffs, heavy chords and complex melodic lines. The baritone scale also contributes to a tighter, more focused low-end response, making it ideal for modern metal and progressive styles where clarity and definition are essential. 

Swamp Ash Body and 5-Piece Neck for a Balanced and Resonant Tone

The AW-XJ7 features a swamp ash body, a tonewood known for its balanced tonal characteristics and resonant qualities. Swamp ash delivers a clear and articulate sound with a tight low end, punchy mids and sparkling highs, making it ideal for a wide range of musical styles. The 5-piece maple/walnut/padauk neck adds stability and enhances the guitar's sustain, ensuring a clear and articulate tone across the entire fretboard.

DiMarzio D-Activator 7 Pickup for Aggressive Tone With Splitting Options

This baritone electric guitar is equipped with a DiMarzio D-Activator 7 passive pickup, designed to deliver a powerful and aggressive tone with exceptional clarity and definition. This pickup is perfect for modern metal and progressive styles, providing a tight low-end, punchy mids and a clear, articulate high end. The push-pull volume control allows you to split the pickup into a single-coil, adding another dimension of tonal versatility to the AW-XJ7. 

Premium Features and a Striking Finish

The ESP LTD Alex Wade AW-XJ7 is adorned with premium features that enhance its performance and aesthetics. The Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets provides a smooth and responsive playing surface with exceptional durability. The LTD locking tuners ensure rock-solid tuning stability, while the brushed black pickguard adds a touch of understated elegance. The guitar's Black Open Grain Satin finish is a striking visual statement that's sure to turn heads on stage. With its combination of exceptional tone, versatile electronics and comfortable playability, the AW-XJ7 is a true performer's instrument.
