Alt-Metal band Breaking Benjamin’s songs can go anywhere from mellow to heavy within moments, that’s why frontman Ben Burnley needs a guitar that can go from lush acoustic to warm cleans to raging distortion; enter the ESP/LTD BB-600 Baritone, Ben Burnley’s signature guitar. The BB-600 takes on the classic Eclipse single cutaway design, equipped with the superb pairing of Seymour Duncan JB and ’59 pickups, as well as a piezo acoustic pickup housed in its Graph Tech Ghost-Loaded Resomax NV bridge and tailpiece. This setup allows you to switch between electric and acoustic sounds easily, or send the signals separately to two amplifiers via the guitar’s dual outputs.
Being a baritone guitar with 27″ scale length, the BB-600 keeps the right string tension especially when using low tunings. And it is a great guitar of course, sporting a mahogany body with a beautifully figured maple top, with a set-thru-body 3-piece maple neck with Thin U profile for superb playability. Ben’s signature touches include red pickups, red LTD headstock logo, red “Breaking Benjamin symbol” inlays, and the black sunburst satin finish.
