That's <sfz> sforzando.  fp is forte first time, p second time.

Those are two separate articulations. Sforzando is an accented attack and is not necessarily followed by a subito piano. fortepiano is an unaccented attack that (by definition) includes a subito piano. <dynamic 1> - <dynamic 2> [- <dynamic 3>...] is the common notation for different dynamics on subsequent repeats.

        Things may be different for guitar music.
