ESP take a classic design into modern territory. The LTD Viper-1000 series offers some of the best specs you’ll find - not only within the ESP range - but the world over for a Korean-made guitar. Exceptional construction, stylish looks and elite hardware and electronics.
Construction
Made of a solid mahogany body with a gorgeous quilted maple top, the Viper-1000 is a true spectacle of a guitar - but it doesn’t stop there. Playability is always at the forefront of ESP’s design books.
It hosts a set-thru thin ‘U’ neck paired with an ebony fingerboard; a winning combination found across the ESP catalogue in their USA built guitars and production models alike. Hardware choices include locking tuners and a Tonepros locking TOM and tailpiece for incredible stability.
Sound
The Seymour Duncan Pegasus and Sentient bridge and neck pickup set is perfect for progressive musical styles. Modern rock players find themselves dipping into more sounds than ever before across a clean and crunchy tonal spectrum and these alnico 5 humbuckers suit it to a tee.
The Pegasus delivers aggressive output of harmonically rich, responsive attack suited to high gain, with a sparkly top end and prominent midrange. Switch over to the Sentient in the neck to provide balance and pristine articulation.
