Sound & Tone
The swamp ash body and roasted maple neck give this guitar a bright, snappy foundation with clear note separation, and the string-through Hipshot bridge adds sustain and immediacy to every attack. Fishman Fluence Modern pickups cover a lot of ground: the ceramic bridge is tight and aggressive for heavy riffing and palm-muted chugs, while the alnico neck leans warmer and more vocal for leads, with the push/pull voice switch offering a second character from each pickup. With its 25.5" scale, ebony board, compound radius and scalloped upper frets, it's aimed at modern metal, progressive rock and technical lead playing where fast runs and articulate high-register work matter.
ESP LTD SN-1000HT Electric Guitar Fire Blast B-Stock
The SN-1000HT is engineered for precision recording and studio versatility. Its thin U-shaped roasted maple neck and compound fingerboard radius enable tight, controlled tracking across extended sessions, while the swamp ash body delivers balanced resonance that translates clearly through monitors and mix chains. The textured Fire Blast finish provides striking visual presence whether you're tracking video content or building session imagery.
Playability & Neck Design
The bolt-on roasted maple neck features a thin U contour that reduces hand fatigue during long tracking days and complex layering work. Scalloped frets between positions 17–24 enhance control and precision in the high register—crucial for capturing clean lead takes and detail work. The 300–400mm compound radius ebony fingerboard ensures consistent action from open strings through the body cutaway, supporting articulate recording across the entire range. The 22 XJ stainless steel frets provide durability and a smooth playing surface for repeated takes, complemented by mother-of-pearl dot inlays for quick visual navigation during sessions.
Tone & Electronics
Fishman Fluence Modern pickups—ceramic in the bridge and alnico in the neck—capture a wide tonal palette from warm, expressive textures to tight, aggressive voices suitable for layered rhythm and lead arrangements. The push/pull tone control accesses a second voicing on both pickups, effectively giving you four distinct pickup characters within a single instrument—a major asset for reducing re-tracking and maximizing session efficiency. The Hipshot string-through-body bridge and LTD locking tuners ensure rock-solid tuning stability across multiple takes and quick restring turnaround between sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional with a full manufacturer warranty, but shows minor cosmetic imperfections from open-box or warehouse handling. These marks do not affect playability, tone, or structural integrity.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and progressive rock?
Yes. The tight ceramic bridge pickup, scalloped frets (17–24), and thin U-shaped neck are specifically voiced and designed for technical metal and prog playing. The push/pull voice selector also opens warm, expressive tones for lead work and dynamics.
What pickup voicing options does the push/pull control provide?
The bridge and neck Fishman Fluence Modern pickups each have two voicings accessed via push/pull tone control—the ceramic bridge covers tight aggression and warmth, while the alnico neck delivers articulate highs and expressive midrange, effectively doubling your tonal palette without added clutter.
How stable is the tuning on this guitar?
Tuning stability is professional-grade: the Hipshot string-through-body bridge anchors strings securely, and LTD locking tuners hold pitch reliably through sustained sessions and string bending. Quick restringing is also a practical benefit during gigs.
What is the neck profile and who will it suit?
The bolt-on roasted maple neck features a thin U contour and 300–400mm compound fingerboard radius, designed for fast technical playing and extended sessions. Scalloped frets (17–24) enhance control in the high register, making it ideal for intermediate to advanced players tackling complex material.
