ESP M7 Dark Purple Sunburst

A 7-String Super-Strat Designed for Modern Performance

With its Super-Strat format, baritone scale length, and active electronics, this model clearly fits into the "modern metal" guitar category: low tunings, massive palm mutes, sharp attacks, and easy access to high notes. The combination of a flamed maple top and mahogany body provides a sought-after balance between impact, definition, and depth.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This 7-string is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a stable and precise instrument for demanding styles: modern metal, djent, prog, death metal, as well as heavy rock and fusion. The "Extra thin U" neck shape facilitates fast runs, legato, and wide stretches, while the 3-position selector and simple controls (volume/tone) are straightforward for both live and studio use.

Sound Characteristics

The mahogany (body) + flamed maple (top) duo delivers a solid tonal foundation: present low-mids, dense lows, and added clarity in the attack. The through-neck construction enhances vibrational continuity, resulting in generous sustain and longer note hold across the entire neck. The Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers provide a very defined and consistent sound, ideal for heavy distortion without muddiness, while maintaining clear articulation on the 7th string. The 27" / 686 mm scale length improves string tension and low-end precision, especially useful for drop tunings and extended ranges.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To fully exploit the baritone scale length, prioritize a 7-string string set suited for long scales (27" / 686 mm), especially if you play in low tunings. A set of stiff picks can also help emphasize attack and control in rhythm playing.
