ESP is one of Japan's leading guitar brands, renowned worldwide alongside Fender and Gibson.
George Lynch, Alexi Laiho, Toshihiko Takamizawa, and Takayoshi Ohmura are known to be fans of the brand's guitars.
This model is a SNAPPER, ESP's signature model, combining traditional style with modern features.
The body combines an ash back with a quilted maple top.
It's laminated using the drop-top method, preserving the beauty of the quilted maple while offering excellent playability.
The edges are also finished with natural binding, adding an even more luxurious look.
The neck and fingerboard are both made of hard maple.
The neck grip has a satin finish.
It has a smooth feel and is easy to grip, allowing for stress-free position changes.
The fingerboard inlays are abalone, demonstrating attention to detail not only in playability but also in looks.
The guitar is equipped with Seymour Duncan SSL-1 pickups in the neck and center positions.
This is a standard replacement part, faithfully reproducing the pickups found in the original Stratocaster.
The bridge position is also equipped with the classic Seymour Duncan TB-4 JB.
The well-balanced, clear sound from low to high frequencies is unique to this high-end Japanese model.
Controls include one volume, one tone, and a 5-way selector, but this model also features a mix variation switch.
This allows you to turn all pickups on in the mix position, or switch to a neck+bridge configuration like a Telecaster.
The master tone section also has a switch pot, allowing you to switch capacitors using a pull-up.
This allows you to switch between a crisp sound and a mellow tone with just one touch.
The wide range of sound variations, more than you'd expect from a single guitar, is a major attraction.
This is a masterpiece that combines looks, sound, and playability, setting a new standard as envisioned by ESP, a leading Japanese guitar manufacturer.
