Brilliant tonewood combo and deluxe hardware





A total knockout, the LTD SN-1000 FR has a stunning alder body in ESP’s traditional Snapper guitar shape. Alder has become a favorite tonewood here at Sweetwater for its balanced qualities that remain harmonic throughout its entire range. Crank those pickups into high gear or fly them low to get a taste of this guitar’s full-bodied alder tone. Complementing that is a gorgeous roasted maple neck, with an ultra-comfortable Thin U profile, and a pleasant snappiness. Shredologists will appreciate the upper scalloping starting at fret 17, which enhances articulation in the higher registers.





Aggressive and blistering HSS configuration





The LTD SN-1000 FR comes loaded with two Fishman Fluence Single Width single-coil pickups and a Fishman Fluence Classic humbucker. Tap into these pickups for uncompromised musical tone devoid of hum or inductance issues. The famed Fluence Core provides these single-coils with classic, must-have guitar tones as well as some you’ve never heard before. The bridge position harbors Fishman's Fluence Classic humbucker that'll send your riffs straight to the nether realm with the growling punch of vintage PAF inspired tone. This formidable combo is ideal for grinding out thick power chords and face-melting solos.
