Take the plunge and submerge yourself in the depths of subterranean earthshaking sonics with the ESP LTD XJ-1B Baritone! The tonal triumvirate of swamp ash, roasted maple, and Macassar ebony is ready for raucous riffage or brutal breakdowns. Engineered with a longer 27-inch scale length, the XJ-1B is equipped to flawlessly achieve any down-the-octave tone goal you can dream up, from deep and dark clean lead lines to sludgy heavy metal riffs. And it feels superb, too, coming equipped with ESP’s Thin U neck profile for a grip that will boost the confidence of all axe wielders. This mammoth tone monster doles out the goods via its Fishman Fluence Modern humbucker, outfitted with a ceramic magnet and multivoiced dynamism that sends solos to the stratosphere and deals out pummeling palm-muted power with exacting precision. Toss in a slew of rock-solid Hipshot and LTD-crafted hardware, and your LTD XJ-1B is braced for barreling through any barrage of full-spectrum ferocity that you can conjure, from long-haul studio sessions to all-night main-stage magic.

Primed for powerful performances

The LTD XJ-1B is willing and able to get down to the nitty-gritty, thanks to its rock-solid ESP construction. You won’t have to worry about an adjustment period when picking up this baritone; ESP makes it easy with the comfortable backside contour on the swamp ash body, methodically carved cutaways, and the Thin U profile of its roasted maple neck. This boisterous baritone outfits you to obliterate chunky riffs and dark-tinted solos alike. Your fingers will also enjoy the silky smoothness of this baritone’s Macassar ebony fingerboard that sports 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, sprawling the fretboard’s 13.7-inch radius — a hard-hitting combo that supports myriad playing styles.

Searing ceramic heat courtesy of Fishman

ESP outfitted this LTD guitar with one of the most trusted pickups in the industry: a Fishman Fluence Modern humbucker. Packed with a ceramic magnet, this sole humbucker occupies the bridge position of this baritone, serving up a tone that captures every ounce of that low-end thunder. Here you'll find a cutting ceramic attack with two different voices — pull the volume knob to access the other voice. Voice one doles out modern active high output for a searing crunch with no mud. Voice two features a modern passive attack with an organic tone and must-have Fluence dynamics.

Tour-grade hardware for a hard-hitting baritone

Don’t be afraid to dish it out with the ESP LTD XJ-1B. Your hard riffs and boisterous solos will be met with the uncompromising stability of its hardware. A molded nut, LTD locking tuners, and a Hipshot bridge with string-through tailpiece keep your tuning rock solid for high-caliber performance. At a glance, we could tell that the LTD XJ-1B Baritone is anchored for sublime low-end tonal flare — so have at it!
