Description

The ESP Original Snapper CTM Electric Guitar in Nebula Pink Purple Burst is a stunning blend of artisanal craftsmanship and modern innovation. Handcrafted by master luthiers at ESP’s Custom Shop in Japan, this guitar is a tribute to ESP's early iconic designs. Its swamp ash body is not just visually arresting but also resonates with a deep, vintage-inspired tone that can morph seamlessly between clean and distorted sounds. The burled poplar top adds a unique aesthetic, making each Snapper CTM distinct.

Equipped with three high-performance Seymour Duncan pickups, the Snapper CTM offers a versatile HSS configuration. The bridge position features a '59 Custom Hybrid humbucker, which combines vintage warmth with a hotter output for those soaring solos. The middle and neck positions are fitted with Hot Stack Plus pickups that deliver noise-free, glassy highs and rich mids. With the classic 5-way selector, a push-pull capacitance switch, and a mini-toggle for alternate pickup mixes, you can explore a vast soundscape of tonal possibilities.

The rosewood-on-maple neck is designed for speed and comfort, thanks to ESP’s “Thin U” profile and a compound radius. Whether you're shredding or strumming, this guitar’s playability is unmatched. The high-quality Gotoh locking tuners ensure your tuning remains rock-solid, while the unbleached bone nut enhances sustain and resonance.
