ESP Snapper 7 PINK MONSTER (Ohmura Signature) demo and review

[Utkarsh Mohan]

Folks, some of you may have heard of this crazy beast.
For those of you who haven't, Takayoshi Ohmura of Babymetal plays a sparkle pink ESP Snapper 7. For the 15th anniversary (I'm guessing of their relationship), they released the craziest guitar that I have ever seen, the ESP Pink Monster, which was essentially the Snapper 7, but in Sparkle Pink and Gold all over.

I don't normally like Pink but this was so crazy and extreme that I had to get it when I got the chance. I've had the guitar since about December but finally got round to playing it and make a demo/review last week.

It's got tones, some thoughts and lots of visuals. To amuse your curiosity whenever you have time

God I hope we still have some nukes left.

 

[Phlegethon]

That guitar is fucking loud. And that's just to look at it. However, I don't think this axe was made with going to a local blues jam in mind.

 

[Moongrum]

Super cool looking, but I could never play that, it's too much to look at Definitely a collectors piece or a stage guitar imo

 

[narad]

Even on the monstrosities, ESP has to piss me off with mismatched inlays...

 

[lattjeful]

God that thing is too fucking loud.

And I say this as somebody whose number one is finished in rainbow sparkle.

 

[Dumple Stilzkin]

That’s crazy dude, the paint is like a disco ball. Are you liking it?

 

[mlp187]

Sign me up. This guitar has my heart. I’d rock the shit out of that any time, anywhere. Congrats to you.

 

[Hollowway]

Ahhh, I've wanted one of the original Ohmura sparkle pinks forever. And I saw this last year, and thought it was INSANE. So cool you got it! Pink is by far my most favorite guitar color. That's awesome! Nice review, as well. Looks so much better on the video than in photos!

This one’s a bit much for me but the regular, only somewhat obnoxiously pink one is something I’d add to my collection if disposable income wasn’t an issue. ESP’s pink gold sparkle looks insane in person.

Quality/build wise, if you had to choose between current ESP Custom Shop or PRS Private Stock which would you go with?

 

[77zark77]

You can't even hide it in a discrete case

 

[Shawn]

The only thing I dislike are the headstocks on the Snappers. Cool guitar nonetheless.

 

[cardinal]

Love it!

 

[Kaura]

I love matching headstocks but matching fretboards might be too wild even for me. Especially in that finish.

 

[zappatton2]

I feel like the more outrageous the guitar, the more it seems like an overcompensation for lack of skills. So yes, I want this very much.

 

[Suho]

I love it. The only one I see available is listed at $15K so a little beyond my means. I'll make due with this one:

You actually got one! I have two of the "regular" pink Snappers (6 and 7 string). The twinkle pink finish looks soooo good in person and under stage lights. I thought of getting one of these but couldn't quite put the money down and no scalloped fingerboard unfortunately!

 

[electriceye]

That is one of the ugliest creations I've ever seen.

 

[AkiraSpectrum]

absolutely crazy cool!
