Description
Sound & Tone
The swamp ash body and roasted maple neck give this guitar a bright, snappy foundation with clear note separation, and the string-through Hipshot bridge adds sustain and immediacy to every attack. Fishman Fluence Modern pickups cover a lot of ground: the ceramic bridge is tight and aggressive for heavy riffing and palm-muted chugs, while the alnico neck leans warmer and more vocal for leads, with the push/pull voice switch offering a second character from each pickup. With its 25.5" scale, ebony board, compound radius and scalloped upper frets, it's aimed at modern metal, progressive rock and technical lead playing where fast runs and articulate high-register work matter.
ESP LTD SN-1000HT Electric Guitar Fire Blast B-Stock
The SN-1000HT is engineered for gigging musicians who demand fast, responsive playability paired with stage presence. Its thin U-shaped rooted maple neck and compound fingerboard radius make extended sets comfortable and precise, while the swamp ash body delivers balanced resonance without excess weight. The textured Fire Blast finish commands attention under stage lights and in any performance environment.
Playability & Neck Design
The bolt-on roasted maple neck features a thin U contour built for speed and stamina during long gigs. Scalloped frets between positions 17–24 sharpen your control in the high register, and the 300–400mm compound radius ebony fingerboard ensures smooth, consistent action from open position through the body cutaway. The 22 XJ stainless steel frets are built to last through years of touring and studio work, complemented by mother-of-pearl dot inlays for reliable visual reference.
Tone & Electronics
Fishman Fluence Modern pickups—ceramic in the bridge and alnico in the neck—cover everything from warm, responsive leads to tight, articulate riffing. The push/pull tone control switches both pickups into a second voicing, giving you tonal flexibility without extra footwork on stage. The Hipshot string-through-body bridge and LTD locking tuners lock in your tuning rock-solid through demanding sets and enable fast, reliable string changes in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional with a full manufacturer warranty, but shows minor cosmetic imperfections from open-box or warehouse handling. These marks do not affect playability, tone, or structural integrity.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and progressive rock?
Yes. The tight ceramic bridge pickup, scalloped frets (17–24), and thin U-shaped neck are specifically voiced and designed for technical metal and prog playing. The push/pull voice selector also opens warm, expressive tones for lead work and dynamics.
What pickup voicing options does the push/pull control provide?
The bridge and neck Fishman Fluence Modern pickups each have two voicings accessed via push/pull tone control—the ceramic bridge covers tight aggression and warmth, while the alnico neck delivers articulate highs and expressive midrange, effectively doubling your tonal palette without added clutter.
How stable is the tuning on this guitar?
Tuning stability is professional-grade: the Hipshot string-through-body bridge anchors strings securely, and LTD locking tuners hold pitch reliably through sustained sessions and string bending. Quick restringing is also a practical benefit during gigs.
What is the neck profile and who will it suit?
The bolt-on roasted maple neck features a thin U contour and 300–400mm compound fingerboard radius, designed for fast technical playing and extended sessions. Scalloped frets (17–24) enhance control in the high register, making it ideal for intermediate to advanced players tackling complex material.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces collect sales tax as the facilitator in most states, so the same listed price can cost more there. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
