ESP SNAPPER-7 Brass Black Electric Guitar
Description
ESP SNAPPER-7 Brass Black Electric Guitar
The ESP SNAPPER-7 sits naturally in your hands with its thin U-neck contour and 25.5" scale—snappy enough for intricate riff work and fast position shifts, yet forgiving during marathon sessions. This seven-string machine feels equally at home locked into tight fretboard positions or stretching across open strings, thanks to its compound radius and medium-jumbo frets that guide your fingers without fighting back. As a used instrument, you're stepping into genuine pro-grade construction at real value, with this guitar bearing the honest wear of active gigging while remaining structurally solid and fully road-ready.
Playability & Build
The bolt-on alder body and maple neck with Honduras rosewood fingerboard respond immediately under your hands—tight articulation and natural sustain that cuts live. A compound fingerboard radius spanning 240–305mm, combined with 22 medium-jumbo frets and a 46mm bone nut, delivers smooth, reliable string-to-fret contact from first position through the highest frets. The Gotoh locking tuners and ESP Flicker-III bridge lock in your tuning solid, no drift even when you're bending hard or exploiting the full tension of a seven-string setup.
Tone & Electronics
Seymour Duncan pickups—SSL-5-7 in the neck and middle, SH-14-7 at the bridge—give you articulate highs when you need definition and controlled lows that don't disappear into mud. Passive electronics keep things simple and responsive: the push/pull tone control, five-way switch, and mini toggle switch let you dial in exactly what you need without menu-diving complexity. Factory-equipped with Elixir Nanoweb Light gauge (.010–.056) strings, this guitar plays straight out of the case.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and what condition is this guitar in?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional and structurally sound but shows cosmetic character from active use—not new condition. All hardware, electronics, pickups, and tuning systems work as intended; only visual wear separates it from a fresh unit.
Is this seven-string suitable for someone transitioning from six-string?
Yes. The thin U-neck contour, compound radius fingerboard, and 46mm bone nut are forgiving and ergonomic across the full range, making rapid articulation and extended sessions comfortable. Intermediate to advanced players will find the playability accessible; beginners should expect a standard learning curve for seven-string technique.
What genres and playing styles is this guitar built for?
The ESP SNAPPER-7 excels in metal, progressive, and extended-range studio work where articulate highs and controlled lows are essential. It is not optimized for traditional jazz or worship settings.
What pickups are installed, and can I dial in different tones?
The guitar features Seymour Duncan SSL-5-7 pickups in the neck and middle positions and a SH-14-7 at the bridge, paired with passive electronics including a push/pull tone control, five-way switch, and mini toggle for practical voicing options without unnecessary complexity.
What is included with the guitar?
The ESP SNAPPER-7 ships with an ST-1 guitar form-fit case and factory-installed Elixir Nanoweb Light gauge strings (.010–.056), ready to play out of the box.
