Description
Sound & Tone
Swamp ash and a roasted maple neck give this left-handed SN-1000HT a bright, articulate voice with strong sustain, and the Hipshot hardtail with string-through-body construction adds firmness and note definition. The Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers cover a wide range, with the Alnico neck offering warmer, rounder lead tones and the Ceramic bridge delivering tight, aggressive high-gain attack, while push/pull Voice 2 on both controls shifts the character mid-song. The 25.51" scale keeps string tension focused and the scalloped upper frets favor expressive bending, making it a natural fit for rock, metal, and modern progressive playing.
ESP LTD SN-1000HT Lefty Guitar Fire Blast Open Box
This left-handed instrument captures articulate highs and sustain-rich lows through its swamp ash body paired with a roasted maple neck—a bright, resonant combination that translates well to tape and digital recording. The thin U-shaped neck profile accelerates fingerboard movement for efficient tracking sessions, while the Fire Blast finish paired with black hardware maintains visual clarity in studio documentation without compromising the instrument's responsiveness or tonal character.
Recording & Playing Feel
The Macassar ebony fingerboard with compound radius (300–400mm) tracks cleanly across rhythm and lead passes without playback artifacts. 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets with scalloping from fret 17–22 lock vibrato and bending into the high register with precise intonation, while the 42mm bone nut transmits full harmonic content and delivers optimal string spacing for left-handed recording work.
Studio Tone & Signal Path
Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers (Alnico neck, Ceramic bridge) offer two distinct voices for layering and automation within a session—push/pull controls on both volume and tone switch between characters without re-amping. The Hipshot hardtail bridge with string-through-body design and LTD locking tuners lock down intonation across takes and multitrack arrangements, reducing tuning drift between punch-ins and maintains stable harmonic content for mix-ready recordings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock?
The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers deliver dynamic, articulate tones with plenty of sustain and presence. The 25.51-inch scale length, scalloped upper frets (17–22), and thin U-shaped neck are optimized for speed and aggressive playing styles typical of metal and modern rock.
Is this a true left-handed instrument or modified?
This is a full left-handed design—the bone nut is cut to 42mm width for proper left-handed string spacing, the neck contour is built for left-handed players, and all hardware is oriented correctly from the factory.
What does open box mean, and is the guitar still new?
Open box means the unit was unboxed, inspected, and set up by our techs but has never been played; it ships in original packaging with all factory accessories at a reduced price. It is covered by our 30-day money-back return policy.
What tonal flexibility do the Fishman Fluence pickups offer?
Each pickup has a push/pull Voice 2 selector on both volume and tone controls, allowing you to switch between two distinct sonic characters in real time—useful for dialing in rhythm versus lead tones or adapting to different song sections.
How is the fingerboard compound radius useful?
The compound radius (300–400mm) flattens slightly toward the upper frets, making open-position chords and rhythm playing comfortable while providing a flatter profile for fast, effortless lead work and bending in the higher register.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $86 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
