Description
Sound & Tone
Swamp ash and a string-through Hipshot hardtail give this S-style a tight, articulate low end and long sustain, with the 25.5" scale and Macassar ebony board adding snap and clarity to fast passages. The Fishman Fluence Modern set covers a lot of ground: the ceramic bridge humbucker delivers tight, percussive high-gain rhythm and cutting leads, while the alnico neck voice stays warmer and more fluid for solos, and the three-voice push/pull switching expands each into cleaner or more compressed territory. It suits modern metal, progressive rock, and studio work where note definition under heavy gain matters, with the scalloped 17th–22nd frets favoring expressive bending and lead phrasing.
ESP LTD SN-1000HT Electric Guitar Silver Blast
The ESP LTD SN-1000HT Silver Blast cuts through on stage with a thin U-profile roasted maple neck and scalloped upper frets that let fast position shifts happen naturally under your fingers. The striking sandblasted Silver Blast finish over swamp ash delivers aggressive presence without sacrificing the resonant tone that holds up in dense band mixes, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard and compound radius fretboard stay smooth and responsive across the entire range. This is a road-ready instrument for players who demand both visual impact and dependable hardware that won't let you down during a gig or in the studio.
Playability & Feel
The thin U neck contour paired with a 25.5" scale length and 11.81"-15.74" compound radius gives you speed without sacrificing comfort across different playing styles. Scalloped frets from the 17th to the 22nd fret enhance lead articulation and bending expression, while the roasted maple construction provides excellent stability and a fast, responsive feel that sits naturally in your hands night after night.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers—alnico in the neck and ceramic in the bridge—stack modern tones with 3-voice switching via push/pull controls, letting you dial in everything from tight rhythm definition to fluid, aggressive leads that punch through a live mix. The Hipshot string-through hardtail bridge locks in sustain and intonation across long sets, while LTD locking tuners keep your tuning rock-solid through demanding performances.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this guitar suitable for beginners?
No—the SN-1000HT is designed for intermediate, advanced, and professional players. The thin U-neck profile, scalloped frets, and high-output Fishman Fluence pickups are engineered for speed and aggressive modern techniques, not beginner comfort or traditional playing styles.
What genres is this guitar best suited for?
Metal, hard rock, progressive, djent, and modern rock. The tight rhythm definition, aggressive lead response, and high sustain make it ideal for those styles. It is not recommended for jazz, traditional blues, or folk.
What do the Fishman Fluence pickups sound like, and can I switch between different tones?
The alnico neck pickup delivers warm, articulate tones, while the ceramic bridge pickup provides aggressive, high-output lead sounds. The 3-voice push/pull switching lets you select between different voice voicings via the voice select control, giving you flexibility from tight rhythm definition to cutting leads.
What is the scalloped fretboard, and does it affect playability?
Scalloped frets from the 17th to 22nd fret (the upper register) are recessed between each fret to reduce finger friction and enhance bending expression and fast position shifts. This feature is favored by lead players and shredders; it does not affect lower-fret playability and adds articulation to bends and vibrato techniques.
How does the Hipshot hardtail bridge help my tone and performance?
A hardtail (string-through) bridge eliminates a tremolo system, providing maximum sustain, rock-solid intonation stability, and reduced tuning drift during intense performances—essential for metal and djent where precision and consistency matter on stage or in the studio.
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. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $105 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
