ESP Snapper CTM Electric Guitar. Marine Blue

Crafted one-by-one at the ESP Custom Shop in Japan, the ESP Snapper CTM is a masterpiece of precision, tone, and playability. Built by world-renowned master luthiers, this exceptional instrument takes the classic contours of a familiar shape and elevates them to new heights with premium woods, meticulous craftsmanship, and cutting-edge components. With bolt-on construction and a 25.5" scale length, it pairs a resonant swamp ash body with a stunning flamed maple top, bound by elegant masked edges. The slim U-shaped maple neck and compound-radius maple fingerboard deliver silky smooth playability, while high-end touches like Gotoh locking tuners, an ESP Flicker-III tremolo, and an unbleached bone nut ensure rock-solid performance.

Tonally, the Snapper CTM is equipped with a versatile HSS pickup configuration. Two Seymour Duncan STK-7 Vintage Hot Stack Plus pickups provide warm, sweet single-coil tones with hum-free operation, while the Seymour Duncan TB-16 ’59/Custom Hybrid bridge humbucker delivers punchy mids and rich harmonic grit. The electronics layout includes a 5-way selector switch, push-pull tone control for added capacitance selection, and a mini-toggle for expanded pickup combinations, offering an impressive range of sounds from a single instrument. Finished in a breathtaking Marine Blue and including a deluxe hardshell case, the ESP Snapper CTM is ready for stage or studio, built for players who demand the best.
