Description
ESP LTD SN-1000FR Candy Apple Red Satin
The SN-1000FR is built for the player who demands speed and reliability under pressure. Its thin U-shaped neck profile and 24 extra-jumbo frets reward precision across the fingerboard, while the lightweight design reduces fatigue during long sets. The Candy Apple Red Satin finish sits between gloss and matte—delivering visual depth without the maintenance burden of a full gloss coat. Built to handle high-output work, aggressive tremolo techniques, and the demands of live gigging without compromise.
Playability & Feel
The three-piece roasted maple neck resists seasonal shift and stays stable through temperature changes on the road. The thin U profile sits comfortably in the hand for extended sets, while a 25.5" scale length and macassar ebony fingerboard with compound radius deliver smooth, playable action across all positions. The offset dot inlays keep visual landmarks clean for quick navigation in dim stage lighting.
Tone & Electronics
Direct-mounted Fishman Fluence Modern 3-Voice humbuckers provide flexible voicing—ceramic bridge pickup cuts through live mixes with aggression, alnico neck adds warmth and articulation—with the Fluence system's switching versatility on tap. The Floyd Rose 1000SE double-locking tremolo with stainless steel hardware locks tuning solid through aggressive whammy techniques and keeps the guitar stage-ready between songs. Black hardware and reverse headstock complete the aggressive professional look.
