Description

The LTD SH-7 Evertune is a bold addition to the LTD Signature Series, designed in collaboration with Brian "Head" Welch, a seven-string innovator and founding member of nu-metal icons Korn. This guitar is not just about aesthetics, it packs a punch in performance too. The Evertune constant-tension bridge system stands out, ensuring excellent intonation and tuning stability, even in the most demanding conditions. Whether you're playing on a hot stage, in a chilled studio, or anywhere in between, this guitar promises to stay in tune.

At the heart of the SH-7ET are the dual Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups. With Alnico in the neck position and Ceramic in the bridge, these pickups provide an exceptional tonal range. A push-pull tone pot allows you to access two different voicings, giving you the versatility to play anything from mellow melodies to aggressive riffs.

This seven-string beast is not just about sound; it looks stunning too. With a streamlined body design featuring thinned-out horns and a gorgeous flamed maple top in See Thru Purple finish over a comfortable, contoured basswood body, this guitar is sure to turn heads wherever you play. Lastly, the glow-in-the-dark side markers ensure that you never lose your place on the fretboard, even on the darkest of stages.

Key Features:

  • Evertune constant-tension bridge system for excellent tuning stability
  • Dual Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups for a wide tonal range
  • Push-pull tone pot for two different voicings
  • Three-piece maple neck with Thin U profile
  • Comfortable, contoured basswood body with flamed maple top
  • Glow-in-the-dark side markers for visibility on dark stages
  • LTD locking tuners for additional tuning stability
  • 24 extra-jumbo frets for playing ease
  • See Thru Purple finish for a stunning aesthetic appeal

Incredible

I’m not usually a 7 string guy but I picked this up and it plays like a dream. Evertune is brilliant, Fluence Moderns sound great, the neck is thin and super fast. There’s nothing not to like here.
