ESP LTD XJ-1 HT Baritone Electric Guitar (Silver Blast)

The LTD XJ-1 HT Baritone delivers offset aesthetics and extended-range capability in a bolt-on electric built around a 27-inch baritone scale. ESP's Deluxe series XJ shape gets paired with a sandblasted swamp ash body finished in Silver Blast, mounted to a three-piece roasted maple neck that terminates in a tiltback reverse headstock. The single Fishman Fluence Modern 3-Voice Humbucker handles all pickup duties, giving players access to three distinct voicings via push/pull control on a stripped-back control layout designed for clarity and response in lower tunings. The Macassar ebony fingerboard spans 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets with block inlays, while LTD locking tuners and a black bone nut ensure tuning stability across the extended scale length. A Hipshot hardtail bridge with string-through-body design anchors the hardware package, complemented by a brushed black pickguard that contrasts against the textured ash grain. The roasted maple neck construction offers increased stability and resonance compared to standard maple treatments, critical for maintaining intonation and sustain when tuned down to B standard or lower.
