The ESP Guitar Company

Thousands and thousands of people from around the world entered for a chance to win the LTD Deluxe SN-1000HT Fire Blast and a sweet ESP swag pack, but there could be only one winner, and he is Ilkka Jähi of Finland. We're going to predict that Ilkka's prize guitar is going to give him inspiration for new tunes and riffs as well as many years of pure musical bliss for live gigs and more.

The SN-1000HT Fire Blast is a guitar that offers tone and playability that’s as intense as its looks. Its textured, sandblasted Fire Blast finish over a swamp ash body is incredible, and its bolt-on roasted maple neck has a compound radius for maximum speed and comfort. Its Macassar ebony fingerboard includes 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, mother-of-pearl dot inlays, and is scalloped from frets 17-22. Components on the SN-1000HT Fire Blast include a black bone nut, a brushed black pickguard, dome control knobs, LTD locking tuners, and a Hipshot hardtail bridge with string thru body. It features a set of Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers (alnico in the neck position, ceramic in the bridge), with a push-pull control to activate each pickup’s second voicing.

Again, help us send our hearty congratulations to Ilkka, but don't despair if you weren't the winner this time... we'll have plenty of other opportunities coming soon to be rewarded for being part of the ESP global community!
