The ESP LTD XJ-1 Baritone Silver Blast at a glance:

The ESP LTD Deluxe XJ-1 Baritone is a real powerhouse for guitarists who want to combine deep, assertive sounds with an extraordinary look. With its 27" scale length and the special Baritone tuning in Drop-H (H/E/A/D/F#/H), it is perfect for modern metal and djent sounds. Its eye-catching Silver Blast finish on a sandblasted swamp ash body not only provides a striking aesthetic, but also makes it a real eye-catcher in the rehearsal room, studio or on stage. The three-piece neck made of roasted maple with a Thin U profile provides a pleasant and fast playing feel, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard with 22 extra jumbo stainless steel frets and block inlays offers maximum precision especially for fast solos and complex riffs. Another visual highlight is the reverse tiltback headstock, which gives the guitar an aggressive, modern look.

The hardware is designed for stability and performance: the LTD Locking tuners ensure perfect tuning stability, while the Hipshot Hardtail Bridge with string-thru-body construction provides optimum resonance and sustain, and string changes are straightforward. A brushed black pickguard rounds off the chic design. In terms of sound, the XJ-1 relies on a single but extremely versatile pickup: the Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker with 3-voice technology. This ceramic humbucker delivers an impressive range from aggressive, percussive high-gain sounds to open, dynamic cleans. The push/pull volume control allows versatile adjustment of the voicing perfect for any situation from brute riffs to nuanced lead sounds. The ESP LTD Deluxe XJ-1 Baritone is the perfect choice for modern guitarists who are looking for an exceptional design with first-class playability and uncompromising sound.
