ESP SNAPPER/CTM/M/FM/SEE THRU BLACK guitar in Ctm Drift Wood Black W/b

ESP Snapper CTM/M/FM in Drift Wood Black with Blue Filler

The ESP Snapper is built for gigging players who demand comfort and reliability on stage. Its thin U-profile neck and compound radius fingerboard transition smoothly from lead work to chord playing without requiring technique adjustment, while the lightweight swamp ash body resonates clearly in a live mix. This Custom Shop model pairs solid hardware and electronics designed for both studio clarity and the dependability touring musicians need.

Construction & Playability

Built with bolt-on swamp ash body and maple neck, the Snapper offers excellent resonance and sustain while maintaining structural stability for road use. The compound 240-305mm radius fingerboard works equally well for open positions and aggressive bending, while the 42mm bone nut and thin U neck contour reduce hand fatigue during long sets and rehearsals. The 25.5" scale length provides traditional string tension and intonation characteristics that most players know and trust.

Tone & Electronics

The H/S/S pickup configuration pairs Seymour Duncan Vintage Hot Stack Plus pickups in the neck and middle positions with a 59/Custom Hybrid bridge pickup, delivering the range you need from warm, articulate cleans to aggressive overdrive across different venues and settings. Passive electronics including volume control, tone with push-pull capacitance selection, 5-way pickup selector, and mini toggle switch keep tone shaping straightforward and road-tested, while the ESP Flicker-III bridge and Gotoh locking tuners hold tuning reliably through sets and quick changeovers.
