ESP LTD SN-1000FR Electric Guitar in Candy Apple Red Satin

The ESP LTD SN-1000FR in Candy Apple Red Satin is a modern S-style shred machine built for players who demand speed, stability and brutal versatility. With a Floyd Rose 1000SE tremolo, stainless steel frets and powerful Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers, it is primed for everything from tight technical metal to expressive lead work, all wrapped up in a sleek satin finish with matching headstock and striking black block inlays with gold shadow.

Under the eye-catching finish lies a swamp ash body and roasted maple neck combination that feels fast and responsive, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard and compound radius make complex chords and wide bends equally comfortable. Add in locking hardware, active electronics and a thin U neck carve, and you have a rock solid, stage ready instrument that lets you focus purely on your playing.

Modern SN Series Performance

The SN-1000FR takes the familiar double cutaway silhouette and updates it for high gain, high speed playing. The bolt-on construction and 25.5 inch scale deliver snap, clarity and tight low end, ideal for down-tuned riffs and articulate rhythm work. Its Candy Apple Red Satin finish with matching headstock gives it a contemporary, stealthy look that stands out under stage lights without being flashy.

Fast Roasted Maple Neck with Compound Radius

A three piece roasted maple neck offers enhanced stability and a smooth, broken-in feel, resisting changes in temperature and humidity. The Macassar ebony fingerboard with a 300 to 400 mm compound radius keeps chords comfortable near the nut while flattening out higher up for effortless bends and low action. ESPs thin U profile is designed for speed, sitting naturally in the hand for both thumb-over and classical thumb-behind techniques.

Fishman Fluence Modern 3 Voice Power

The SN-1000FR is loaded with Fishman Fluence Modern active humbuckers, with an Alnico model in the neck and a Ceramic model in the bridge, both in black nickel. Each pickup offers three selectable voices via the push pull volume and tone controls, giving you everything from tight, aggressive high output tones to more open, dynamic sounds and a third voice for additional versatility. This setup lets you cover modern metal, hard rock and surprisingly pristine cleans without changing guitars.

Floyd Rose 1000SE and Locking Hardware

For extreme whammy bar abuse with reliable tuning, the guitar features a Floyd Rose 1000SE tremolo system paired with a locking nut and Grover tuners. The 1000SE offers the feel and response players expect from a Floyd style bridge, letting you dive bomb, flutter and scoop chords while the locking system keeps everything stable. Combined with 24 extra jumbo stainless steel frets, you get a precise, long lasting playing surface that is perfect for big bends and fast legato runs.

• Swamp Ash Body with Candy Apple Red Satin Finish - Swamp ash provides a lively, resonant acoustic character with clear highs and tight lows, ideal for articulate high gain tones. The Candy Apple Red Satin finish and matching headstock deliver a sleek, modern aesthetic that looks as sharp as it sounds.
• 3 Piece Roasted Maple Neck with Thin U Profile - Roasting the maple improves stability and gives a smooth, fast feel, while the thin U carve is designed for speed and comfort. Whether you are riffing low on the neck or flying through solos higher up, it stays comfortable and controllable.
• Fishman Fluence Modern 3 Voice Humbuckers - The Alnico neck and Ceramic bridge pickups provide three selectable voices each via the push pull volume and tone controls. This gives you instant access to tight, saturated metal tones, more open and dynamic sounds, and an additional third voice, all with low noise and consistent response.
• Floyd Rose 1000SE Tremolo with Locking Nut - The Floyd Rose 1000SE bridge and locking nut combination offers rock solid tuning stability, even under heavy tremolo use. Paired with Grover tuners and 24 extra jumbo stainless steel frets, it is built for expressive vibrato, dive bombs and precise intonation over the entire neck.
