ESP LTD SN-1000HT Lefty Guitar Fire Blast
Description
ESP LTD SN-1000HT Lefty Guitar Fire Blast
Left-handed players demanding high-performance hardware will find a thin U-shaped neck profile that accelerates playing across the fingerboard while maintaining comfort during extended sessions. The swamp ash body paired with a roasted maple neck creates a bright, articulate platform with excellent sustain—characteristics that modern genres demand. The Fire Blast finish paired with black hardware presents a visually commanding presence without sacrificing the instrument's responsiveness or tonal clarity.
Playability & Feel
The Macassar ebony fingerboard with compound radius (300–400mm) accommodates both rhythm and lead playing without compromise. 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets with scalloping from fret 17–22 enable aggressive bending and vibrato in the upper register, while the 42mm bone nut ensures superior sustain and resonance with optimal string spacing for left-handed play.
Tone & Electronics
Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers (Alnico neck, Ceramic bridge) deliver dynamic articulation across a broad tonal spectrum, with Voice 2 accessible via push/pull controls on both volume and tone for on-the-fly sonic shifts. The Hipshot hardtail bridge with string-through-body design and LTD locking tuners anchor intonation and stability during performances and recording sessions.
