ESP LTD SN-1000HT Electric Guitar Silver Blast B-Stock

ESP LTD SN-1000HT Electric Guitar Silver Blast

The ESP LTD SN-1000HT Silver Blast is engineered for precision tracking and modern high-gain production work, with a thin U-profile roasted maple neck and scalloped upper frets that enable accurate, articulate recordings across extended sessions. The striking sandblasted Silver Blast finish over swamp ash delivers both visual character and resonant tone that translates well through mixing and mastering workflows, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard and compound radius fretboard provide consistent feel and response throughout the range. This is a purpose-built instrument for producers and engineers who require both tonal presence and rock-solid hardware reliability in the studio environment.

Playability & Feel

The thin U neck contour paired with a 25.5" scale length and compound radius supports extended recording sessions without fatigue while maintaining consistent articulation across different playing styles. Scalloped frets from the 17th to the 22nd fret enhance lead definition and bending expression, recording with crisp clarity, while the roasted maple construction provides excellent stability and a fast, responsive feel that sits well in dense production mixes.

Tone & Electronics

Dual Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers—alnico in the neck and ceramic in the bridge—deliver versatile modern tones with 3-voice switching via push/pull controls, allowing you to capture everything from controlled rhythm definition to fluid, aggressive lead parts within a single session. The Hipshot string-through hardtail bridge enhances sustain and intonation stability for consistent take-to-take tracking, while LTD locking tuners maintain tuning accuracy throughout extended recording sessions.
