Built for players who demand extreme versatility and road-ready precision, the ESP LTD Deluxe SN-1000FR is a high-performance powerhouse engineered to excel in any professional setting. Its resonant swamp ash body delivers a balanced tonal foundation with signature clarity and punch, while the three-piece roasted maple neck ensures exceptional stability and a fast, responsive feel. The compound-radius Macassar ebony fingerboard and 24 extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets support effortless speed, wide bends and technical accuracy across the entire scale. Its massive sonic range is driven by direct-mounted Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers, offering three distinct voices per pickup to pivot from high-output fire to glassy, hum-free cleans. Anchored by a Floyd Rose 1000SE tremolo and stainless-steel hardware, the SN-1000FR is a sophisticated, no-limits machine worthy of the modern virtuoso.
Swamp Ash Body for Resonant Tone and Dynamic Response
The LTD SN-1000FR’s swamp ash body provides a lively, articulate tonal character with tight lows, defined mids and crisp highs. Known for its natural resonance and balanced frequency response, swamp ash allows complex chords and high-gain riffs to remain clear and focused. Its lightweight feel enhances playing comfort during long rehearsals and extended performances, while the bolt-on construction adds snap and immediacy to every note. This responsive body serves as a powerful tonal foundation, equally suited for pristine cleans, saturated leads and aggressive rhythm work.
Roasted Maple Neck and Compound-Radius Ebony Fingerboard for Speed and Precision
The thin U-shaped, three-piece roasted maple neck is engineered for maximum stability and smooth playability. Roasting the maple increases rigidity and resistance to temperature and humidity changes, ensuring consistent performance on the road or in the studio. The Macassar ebony fingerboard features a compound radius that feels comfortable for chord work near the nut and flattens out higher up the neck for fast runs and wide bends without fretting out. Twenty-four extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets provide effortless string bending, long-term durability and a slick playing surface for advanced techniques.
Fishman Fluence Modern Pickups for Multi-Voice Tonal Versatility
The SN-1000FR is equipped with direct-mounted Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers, featuring a ceramic bridge pickup and an alnico neck pickup for a wide sonic range. These innovative three-voice active pickups deliver everything from tight, aggressive high-gain tones to articulate mid-gain crunch and clear, dynamic cleans. Push/pull controls allow instant access to multiple voicings, giving players studio-quality tonal flexibility without complex switching. The direct-mount design enhances resonance and attack, ensuring every note cuts through the mix with authority and precision.
Floyd Rose 1000SE Tremolo and Premium Hardware for Rock-Solid Stability
A Floyd Rose 1000SE double-locking tremolo with stainless-steel screws provides exceptional tuning stability and smooth response, even during extreme dive bombs, flutters and expressive pitch effects. Precise Grover tuners complement the locking system, offering reliable tuning adjustments and long-term durability. Black hardware and a reverse matching-finish headstock complete the guitar’s aggressive, modern aesthetic while reinforcing its professional-grade build quality. This hardware package ensures the SN-1000FR remains dependable under the most demanding playing conditions.
