Guitars in the LTD 1000 Series are designed to offer the tone, feel, looks and quality that working professional musicians require in an instrument. Based on the traditional look of ESP’s Snapper guitar shape, the SN-1000FR adds the high-performance tools needed for contemporary music. It has a swamp ash body at 25.5” scale, with a roasted maple neck and maple fingerboard with stainless steel frets that include scalloping from #17-24. The SN-1000FR offers an H/S/S pickup configuration with two Seymour Duncan Hot Strat single-coils and a high-output Pegasus humbucker in the bridge, with a push-push control to split the bridge pickup. It also features a Floyd Rose 1000SE bridge with stainless steel screws. The SN-1000FR is offered in a sandblasted Black Blast finish.
With the SN Series, ESP LTD offers up Strat-style guitars aimed at both entry-level players and others outside the metal community. But the SN-1000 FR has a trick up its sleeve: a Floyd Rose bridge that is more typical of metal guitars. Meaning that if a player wants genre versatility, they’ve got it—especially with the combo of EMG 5A and 85 pickups. And with both Cooper Sunburst and Aqua Marine, it’s got the ESP LTD look.
