ESP Snapper CTM Electric Guitar. Drift Wood Black w/Blue Filler

The ESP Original Series Snapper is a masterfully crafted, high-performance guitar, built one at a time in Japan by ESP's Custom Shop luthiers. Inspired by ESP’s earliest designs, this modernized classic enhances a traditional bolt-on shape with top-tier tonewoods, exceptional playability, and premium components.

With a swamp ash body for resonant depth and clarity, and a compound-radius maple fingerboard, the Snapper delivers precision and smooth playability across the entire neck. The ESP Flicker-III tremolo and Gotoh locking tuners ensure rock-solid tuning stability, while the HSS Seymour Duncan pickup configuration provides an expansive tonal range, perfect for any genre.

Beyond standard controls, the Snapper features a push-pull capacitance selector and a mini-toggle switch for pickup mix variations, unlocking an arsenal of dynamic tones.
