The ESP LTD Stephen Carpenter SC-608 Baritone in Yellow brings the unmistakable presence and extended-range power of Stef Carpenter’s signature guitars into a striking new finish inspired by his famed “Chiquita” ESP Custom Shop model. Designed for players who rely on deep tuning stability and massive tonal range, the SC-608 is a purpose-built 8-string instrument with a 27" baritone scale, offering tight low-end response and excellent clarity even under extreme gain.
Built with neck-thru-body construction, a mahogany body, a 3-piece maple neck, and a Macassar ebony fingerboard, this guitar delivers impressive sustain and articulation. Outfitted with Fishman Fluence Stephen Carpenter Signature 3-Voice pickups and a versatile 5-way selector with push/pull voicing, it provides a wide palette of tones suited for heavy rhythms, atmospheric cleans, and everything in between. The Hipshot fixed bridge, LTD locking tuners, and included ESP form-fit case make this a fully stage-ready instrument from the moment it arrives.
