ESP LTD Viper-1000 Electric Guitar - Vintage Black
Sharp in Sight, Venomous in Bite
The bold and beautiful ESP LTD Viper-1000 comes poised for an aggressive strike and powerful bite that’s as devilishly intense as its fanged-serpent body styling. Contoured from solid mahogany and speared with a matching 3-piece neck that’s been carved to a commanding thin “U” profile, the LTD Viper-1000 possesses the confident feel of an axe you’ve known your way around for decades. Its massive and blisteringly hot sonic might is unearthed by a pair of dueling and dual-voiced ceramic and alnico Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers respectively positioned at the bridge and neck, accompanied by master Volume and Tone controls with a 3-way pickup selector switch. Finally, its gold hardware, classic Banner inlays, and a fully bound neck and headstock cloak the LTD Viper-1000’s fiery soul with a black-tie aesthetic that no other axe could pull off so sharply.
