ESP LTD JS-7 Jack Simmons Signature 7-String Baritone Guitar - Black

Designed around the realities of modern extreme metal, the ESP LTD JS-7 Jack Simmons signature 7-string baritone is built for ultra-low tunings, fast transient response and control under saturation. Jack Simmons of Slaughter to Prevail relies on precision and physicality, and this seven-string baritone reflects that approach with neck-thru-body construction, mahogany body wings and a three-piece maple neck for sustain, stability, and definition. An extended baritone scale pairs with a Macassar ebony fingerboard and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets to preserve clarity across the entire range, while the thin U-shaped neck profile keeps the feel fast and controlled. At the core of the instrument, a single Fishman Open Core Modern humbucker delivers high-output tones with articulation and flexibility, rounding out a design that supports tight rhythmic work and articulate lead playing even at extreme gain levels.

Fishman Open Core Modern Pickup with Three Voicings

The JS-7 signature baritone is equipped with a single Fishman Open Core Modern humbucker designed to handle high-output tones without losing definition. Its three-voice design, accessible via a push-pull control, allows players to switch between modern active, passive-style, and vintage-inspired voicings. This flexibility makes it possible to move from focused, percussive rhythm tones to more open lead sounds without changing instruments.

Hipshot Hardtail Bridge for Down-Tuned Stability

A Hipshot 7 hardtail bridge with string-thru-body construction anchors the JS-7 Jack Simmons baritone with solid tuning stability and consistent sustain. This setup improves string vibration transfer and keeps intonation reliable under heavy palm muting and aggressive picking. It all equates to a 7-string baritone built for players who rely on consistency during long sessions and high-intensity performances.

Ergonomic Design Built for Modern Techniques

The V-shaped body and thin U neck profile provide comfortable access across all 24 frets while supporting technical playing styles. The smooth feel of the Macassar ebony fingerboard encourages precision, and the overall balance of the instrument supports both standing and seated performance. Lastly, diamond inlays add visual definition without distracting from the guitar’s performance-first design.

Built for Longevity and High-Impact Use

Stainless steel frets resist wear over time, while the maple neck and mahogany body wings provide a stable tonal foundation. A Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut improves tuning consistency and sustain, and black hardware completes a functional, understated aesthetic. Finished in Silver Sunburst, the JS-7 balances visual impact with road-ready durability.
