Personal Thoughts:
These Liquid Metal Snapper runs are absolutely stunning in person — the Gold Lava finish looks like molten metal frozen in motion, super high-impact and boutique-grade visually.
The Snapper platform itself is ESP’s answer to a modern super-S style instrument — but with very clever Japanese-logic refinements. The Slim U neck is fast without being overly thin, and the Honduran rosewood board adds warmth and complexity to the tone.
Feels like a boutique J-custom level build with a unique aesthetic twist.
Condition Report:
Mint. No marks, no wear. Hardware and frets are pristine. Factory-fresh feel.
