ESP Snapper CTM Custom Shop Buckeye Burl HR - Japan 2022

Built in June 2022 by the ESP Custom Shop in Japan, this Snapper CTM is a stunning example of why ESP remains one of the most respected names in high-end guitar building. Combining modern playability with exceptional craftsmanship, the Snapper has become a favourite amongst professional musicians looking for a versatile S-style guitar without compromise. The standout feature of this instrument is its spectacular Buckeye Burl top. Every Buckeye Burl top is unique, and this example displays dramatic figuring and natural contrast that gives the guitar a striking visual presence. Paired with a swamp ash body, maple neck, and maple fingerboard, it delivers a lively and articulate response with excellent balance across the frequency range. Loaded with a Seymour Duncan HSS pickup configuration, the Snapper is capable of covering an enormous range of tones, from sparkling cleans and classic single coil sounds through to punchy, articulate humbucker-driven lead tones. Premium appointments including Gotoh locking tuners, an ESP Flicker-III tremolo, compound-radius fingerboard, and bone nut make for an instrument that feels every bit as refined as its Custom Shop pedigree suggests. Presented with its original ESP hard shell case and certificate, this is a superb modern Custom Shop instrument from one of Japan's finest builders.
