Custom made by ESP's Sado factory in Japan in 2006, this professional level Snapper/Stratocaster was seemingly someones tribute to Takoyoshi Ohmura with their own flavour.
Alder body with a sparkle black/red finish bolted to a maple neck that features a light aftermarket scallop (22 frets, 12" radius, 648mm scale length, 42mm nut width), it weighs 3.5kg's. Loaded with Sperzel USA locking tuners, a Stratocaster style tremolo system, it's loaded with Seymour Duncan STK-10 Yngvie Malmsteen stacked single coils in the neck and bridge position and an unknown alnico pickup in the middle position that are controlled by volume and tone knobs and a three-way pickup selector.
We had this professionally service prior to listing and set-up with 10-52's in Drop C, plays and sounds incredible (if you're a good enough player to master it). The frets have some light wear but play smoothly and have plenty of life left, the truss adjusts freely and the neck is straight.
