ESP Snapper CTM Electric Guitar. Tiger Eye Sunburst

The ESP Snapper CTM is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, hand-built one at a time in the ESP Custom Shop in Japan. This high-performance, modernized classic takes a traditional body shape and refines it to perfection with premium tonewoods, world-class hardware, and boutique-level electronics.

With bolt-on construction, a swamp ash body, and a flamed maple top, the Snapper CTM delivers rich resonance and sparkling clarity, while its maple neck and fingerboard provide smooth playability. The ESP Flicker-III tremolo ensures precise intonation and tuning stability, making it ideal for expressive bends and vibrato.

Its HSS pickup configuration features two Seymour Duncan STK-S7 Vintage Hot Stack Plus single coils for warmth and sustain, while the Seymour Duncan TB-16 ’59/Custom Hybrid humbucker in the bridge offers rich midrange harmonics and a gritty attack. A push-pull tone knob, 5-way selector, and mini-toggle switch give the Snapper CTM an incredible range of tonal options, perfect for any playing style.
