Design inspiration for LTD’s H3-1007 Baritone came from the ESP Horizon-3’s classic body shape and professional build quality. ESP also added a few slight modifications for maximum baritone playability and sonic facility. Beveled body horns are positioned for maximum upper-fret access, which is essential when playing on a guitar with extended range. The H3-1007 Baritone is a tonal behemoth with 24 frets, seven strings, and two Seymour Duncan pickups, ensuring it can handle rumbling lows and soaring highs with equal grace. Sweetwater guitarists find that the H3-1007's extended 27-inch scale quite useful for supporting down-tuned setups while maintaining good string tension and intonation. It's the perfect axe for players who want to extend their range without compromising anything.





Professional build with unmistakable quality





The H3-1007 Baritone is built for the working musician’s needs with durable hardware, premium electronics, and choice tonewood selections ? all at an affordable price. An all-mahogany body delivers big sustain while the solid 3-piece maple neck and smooth Macassar ebony fingerboard let you navigate notes with ease. Eleven distinct pearloid inlays with a minimalist contemporary design keep you centered while you play, providing guidance that’s invaluable on an extended scale guitar. Finally, the H3-1007’s premium hardware includes locking tuners and a durable Tune-o-matic bridge for maintained tuning stability and minimal playing interruption.





Baritone-tailored Seymour Duncan tone





The H3-1007 comes equipped with two Seymour Duncan humbucker pickups that are specifically tailored to 7-string guitars. The Duncan Pegasus in the bridge articulates both clean and high-gain tones well, while the Sentient neck pickup is incredibly responsive with tight lows, an exceptional midrange, and a shimmering top end that thrives in high-gain situations.





Prone to extremes





Your baritone guitar is prone to extremes ? but in a good way. You can explore new tunings, chord voicings, and playing styles across seven strings and the extended neck that simply can’t be achieved any other way. The H3-1007 premium hardware and extended scale easily support down tunings and traditional baritone B-to-B tuning (with an additional high-E string) without compromising your string tension or intonation. Thanks to adaptable features and its durable design, the H3-1007 is at home as a primary instrument or a secret studio weapon for double tracking, tic-tac bass, and alternate chord voicings.
