How does the Evertune bridge keep the guitar in tune?

The Evertune F-model bridge uses a constant-tension system that automatically compensates for string stretching and tuning drift during performance. This eliminates the need for frequent re-tuning between songs or during long sets, making it ideal for demanding live and studio work.

What skill level is this guitar suited for?

The SN-1000ET is designed for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. The thin U-contour neck, compound radius fingerboard, and scalloped upper frets reward speed and precision, making it best suited for rock, metal, hard rock, and progressive styles.

What pickups does it have and what tones can I expect?

The guitar features Seymour Duncan Hot Strat pickups in the neck and middle positions for articulate, responsive single-coil response, and a Seymour Duncan Pegasus bridge pickup for aggressive output and high sustain. A mini toggle switch expands tonal range beyond the standard 5-way selector for expanded sonic control.

Is this guitar suitable for jazz or fingerstyle playing?

No, the SN-1000ET is purpose-built for rock, metal, hard rock, progressive, and studio sessions. It is not recommended for jazz, folk, or country styles.

ESP LTD SN-1000ET Evertune Guitar Charcoal Metallic Satin B-Stock

The ESP LTD SN-1000ET combines a thin U-contour neck with a compound fingerboard radius that rewards both speed and precision. The roasted maple neck and macassar ebony fretboard with scalloped upper frets create a responsive playing surface, while the Evertune bridge system eliminates tuning drift under performance demands. This is a purpose-built instrument for players who require absolute tuning stability without compromise.

Playability & Construction

Built on a bolt-on alder body with roasted maple neck, the SN-1000ET delivers balanced resonance and neck stability. The macassar ebony fingerboard features a 300-400mm compound radius, 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets with scalloping from frets 17–22, and a 42mm black bone nut—geometry optimized for both lead work and chord voicings across the 25.5" scale. Neck feel is fast and stable, with the roasted maple providing durability through years of touring and studio sessions.

Tone & Stage Performance

The pickup trio—Seymour Duncan Hot Strat (neck and middle) paired with a Seymour Duncan Pegasus (bridge)—delivers articulate single-coil response and aggressive bridge output that cuts through a live mix. A mini toggle switch expands tonal range beyond the standard 5-way selector, while passive volume and tone controls preserve high-end clarity and sustain. The Evertune bridge keeps you locked in tuning all night, eliminating the tuning stability issues that plague standard bridges during extended sets or temperature changes.
