Isao Fujita: SNAPPER-8 ISAO Custom "RAIDEN-8" Demonstration

ISAO demonstrates his first signature model! Released the crimson ESP SNAPPER-8 ISAO Custom "RAIDEN-8" and ESP SNAPPER-7 ISAO Custom "RAIDEN-7", which are the first signature models used by ISAO, a pioneer of multi-string guitarists in Japan. I will. SNAPPER-8 ISAO Custom "RAIDEN-8" is the first 8-string specification in the SNAPPER series. The body is alder, the neck is hard maple, the fingerboard is ebony, and the position marks are Luminlay, a phosphorescent material with good visibility even on dark stages on the top and sides. The scale is 686mm, which ensures sufficient tension even with 8 strings. The neck is bolt-on jointed to the body, and the joint is smoothed to improve playability. The neck set plate is made of titanium T-6 Ultimate Access. The peg is a GOTOH MG-T type, and the bridge is equipped with a lock-type tremolo Floyd Rose. The pickup is a combination of Seymour Duncan's modern style humbuckers NAZGUL-8 Amt and SENTIENT-8 Amt, and is directly mounted on the body. The control consists of a master volume and master tone, a lever pickup selector, and a pickup sound variation switch (series, coil split, parallel). Aluminum pickguard alumite treated in bright red and RAIDEN The RED color has an overwhelming presence. It seems that the spirit of guitarist ISAO has taken shape! It has been five years since I started playing mainly 8-string guitars, and with the cooperation of ESP and overwhelming technology, the ideal one was completed. An 8-string guitar equipped with Floyd Rose that combines ease of play in all positions from bass riffs to treble leads with a sound that can smoothly reproduce the 5-octave range. Is such a thing possible? … It was possible. You can't play it three times faster, but it's one of the best motivations for a guitar. ── ISAO ESP releases ISAO Custom SNAPPER-8 “RAIDEN-8” and SNAPPER-7 “RAIDEN-7”
