The ESP SNAPPER-7 Brass Black Electric Guitar, made in Japan, is a beautifully designed 7-string guitar that blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary functionality. This model is perfect for guitarists seeking a high-performance instrument with an extended range and striking aesthetics. Here’s a detailed look at its specifications and features:

Construction and Design

  • Construction: Bolt-On construction is chosen for its crisp tonal attack and ease of maintenance, making it a favorite among players who prefer a clear separation of notes and quick response.
  • Scale: The 25.5" scale length helps maintain string tension across the seven strings, providing a balanced feel and facilitating precise intonation.
  • Body Material: Alder is used for the body, known for its light weight and balanced tonal characteristics, which produce a full-bodied sound with excellent sustain.
  • Neck: Maple is utilized for the neck, enhancing the guitar’s overall tonal clarity and sustain, contributing to a bright and articulate sound profile.
  • Fingerboard: Honduras Rosewood on the fingerboard adds a touch of luxury and sonic depth, with a compound radius that improves playability from chordal work at the lower frets to solos at the higher frets.

Playability

  • Nut: A bone nut with a width of 46mm ensures durability and superior tonal quality, with ample space to accommodate complex fingering typical of a 7-string guitar.
  • Neck Contour: The Thin U-shaped neck profile is engineered for comfort, making it easy to navigate the wider neck required for seven strings, without compromising on speed or access.
  • Frets: 22 medium jumbo frets are chosen for their ability to support both precise chording and expressive solo work.

Hardware and Electronics

  • Tuners: Gotoh locking tuners are a reliable choice for maintaining stable tuning, crucial for performances where consistent intonation is key.
  • Bridge: The ESP Flicker-III bridge system is designed for optimal sustain and tuning stability, enhancing the guitar's performance during aggressive playing styles.
  • Pickups: A trio of Seymour Duncan pickups, featuring SSL-5-7 models in the neck and middle positions and an SH-14-7 in the bridge, offers a versatile range from sparkling cleans to aggressive distortion tones.
  • Electronics Layout: The guitar is equipped with a master volume, a master tone (with push/pull functionality for coil-splitting), a 5-way pickup selector, and an additional mini-toggle switch, allowing for extensive tonal adjustments.

Aesthetic and Extras

  • Finish: The Brass Black finish is uniquely striking, giving the guitar a bold, standout look that is both classic and eye-catching.
  • Strings: Strung with Elixir Nanoweb Light gauge strings, which are renowned for their extended tone life and smooth playability.
  • Case: Includes a ST-1 guitar form-fit case, ensuring the instrument is well-protected during storage and transportation.

The ESP SNAPPER-7 Brass Black is an exceptional instrument for serious guitarists who value versatility, extended range, and a distinctive appearance. Whether used for live performances, studio sessions, or casual playing, this guitar delivers a high-quality experience with reliable performance and stylish presentation.
