DISC ESP Original Snapper CTM24 FR, See Thru Black

Full Description

Solid Alder Body & Quilted Maple Top

Alder is favoured by most players for its incredibly balanced tone, offering the perfect dynamic range to suit most musical styles. The alder body is perfect for a variety of playing styles as its excellent sustain and resonance ensures each note is heard. Its bright, sizzling highs, rounded lows, and beefy midrange sets up the foundation of the ESP Snapper's overall tonality, allowing players to achieve the perfect sounds for most situations. The body is topped with quilted maple, enhancing the guitar's natural brightness and creating a unique aesthetic.

Bolt-On Maple Neck & Fingerboard

The maple neck and fingerboard create beautifully bright tones, with even harmonics and a powerful fundamental character. The maple tonewood is the perfect choice for producing clear and present notes, with its strong sustain and sharp bite adding extra detail to the top end while tightening up the low-end. Its bolt-on construction enhances the overall tone with more treble and attack than traditional set-necks, offering plenty of articulation and upper fret access. The neck and fingerboard are designed with a U to V profile and a compound radius, offering the perfect level of comfort for chords, solos, and rhythm playing across the entire fingerboard.

ESP Custom Lab HSS Pickups

Along with its incredibly precise construction and attention to detail, the ESP Original Snapper is equipped with a set of their Custom Lab pickups for a truly unique performance. The two CL-P-S-2 single-coil pickups are designed with alnico V magnets and a single conductor cable, delivering rugged tones with a stunning mid-high end. These high powered and expressive pickups are perfect for cutting beautifully through mixes, while delivering excellent cleans for solos and speed runs. The CL-P-H-2+ humbucker expands upon the original CL-P-H-2 pickup, offering more power while maximising its response to capture every picking nuance. Constructed with ceramic magnets, this humbucker tightens up the low-end to help retain its power no matter the playing style. The addition of ESP’s push/pull tone pot and mini mix variation switch expands the Snapper Guitar’s tonal capabilities, allowing players to switch between different configurations to suit a wide variety of musical genres and playing styles.

Floyd Rose Original Tremolo

For many years Floyd Rose has been the leading manufacturer and designer of floating, locking tremolos. With a design that has stood strong for over 30 years, the Floyd Rose Original locking tremolo allows you to adjust the string tension and pitch with the removable whammy bar to create unique sounds such as dive bombs. Unlike non-locking tremolo's, the Floyd Rose bridge can make huge changes in pitch but still retain the initial tuning by addition of the locking nut at the end of the headstock.

Gotoh Locking Tuners

The Original Series ESP is finished off with a range of high-end components to ensure players receive the best playing experience possible. The Gotoh locking tuners improve tuning stability while reducing string slippage, delivering a truly quick and easy way to tune. Their locking design allows players to ''lock'' their tuning in place, ensuring the guitar remains in-tune no matter the intensity of the performance.
