ESP Custom Color Order Snapper AL M Shell Pink Pearl

Japanese-made ESP Original Color Order SNAPPER-AL SPP Electric Guitar

What does “standard” mean as defined by ESP?
The SNAPPER is one of the answers.

Its appearance evolves traditional styling to meet the needs of modern players, resulting in a refined design that remains timeless and visually appealing.

The body is made from high-quality roasted alder, paired with a hard rock maple neck.
It is equipped with the ESP Flicker III bridge, well known for its smooth tremolo operation, and features a pickup configuration of Seymour Duncan SSL-5 single-coils and a TB-4 humbucker.

CT System Type-3

As one of the signature design elements of the SNAPPER, the CT System has been newly developed here as Type-3, redesigned specifically to work in conjunction with GOTOH MG-T locking tuners.

It provides neat and balanced string tension, delivering a tight yet highly nuanced playing response.

Stainless Steel Frets

This model is fitted with medium-sized stainless steel frets that meet global standards.
Careful edge finishing provides a smooth and comfortable playing feel.

Equipped with Mix Variation Switch

A Mix Variation Switch is included.
This switch changes the pickup combinations used in the mixed positions:

From “Neck + Middle” to “Neck + Middle + Bridge (coil-split)”
From “Middle + Bridge” to “Neck + Bridge”

This greatly expands tonal flexibility.

Master Tone with Push Switch Pot

The master tone control uses a switch-equipped potentiometer, loaded with two different capacitor values: 0.047μF and 0.01μF.

By simply pressing the knob, you can instantly switch between the two settings.

When pulled up, 0.01μF is selected for a smoother and milder tonal character.
