ESP Original Series Snapper CTM Buckeye Burl / RW - Natural

$5,699.00 $4,844.25 Sale

The ESP Original Series Snapper CTM is a shining example of what happens when world-renowned Japanese craftsmanship meets cosmic-level artistry. Handbuilt one at a time in the ESP Custom Shop, this Snapper features a stunning Buckeye Burl top that looks as though it was carved from a drifting celestial body—organic, otherworldly, and absolutely unique.

Every detail is engineered for players who demand flawless performance across any musical galaxy. A swamp ash body and maple neck deliver exceptional resonance and responsiveness, while the rosewood fingerboard offers a smooth, familiar feel. Its versatile Seymour Duncan H/S/S configuration—paired with advanced switching, a push-pull capacitance selector, and a mini-toggle mix control—gives you an entire universe of tones, from crystalline cleans to roaring, high-gain warp drive.

Premium appointments like the ESP Flicker-III tremolo, Gotoh locking tuners, and an unbleached bone nut ensure rock-solid stability and precision. At just 7 lbs 10 oz, this instrument is as comfortable as it is inspiring.

At Interstellar Guitars, we are proud and honored to carry an instrument of this caliber—a true stellar creation designed for professionals who require uncompromising quality, cosmic tone, and unparalleled playability.
