DISC ESP LTD VIPER-50 Electric Guitar, Black

Full Description

Basswood Body

This is a very reliable and sturdy guitar that can stand up to the rigours of regular gigging. The Basswood body is lightweight with a fat and well balanced tone. A muscular midrange is supported by a softness and breathiness. Excellent dynamics and definition combine with enough grind for the heaviest players.

Smooth Maple Neck

A smooth Maple neck allows fast movement up and down the neck for those faster passages. A Rosewood fingerboard produces tons of sustain, working well with the Basswood body.

Humbucking Pickups

The ESP LH-100 humbuckers handle distortion well and are ideal for rock and metal but they also sound great a little cleaner for blues or lighter rock.

ESP Guitars

ESP is quite possibly the most revered manufacturer of heavy metal electric guitars and basses. ESP and its LTD brand are the first stop for many heavy metal icons, including James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett of Metallica, Jeff Hanneman of Slayer and Stephen Carpenter of the Deftones.

Boasting all manner of metal guitarists in their signature artist roster, ESP and the LTD brand are set to continue their dominance over the metal scene as the choice of some of today's most popular metal acts, like Kirk Windstein and Pepper Keenan of Down, Alexi Laiho of Children of Bodom and Ozzy Osbourne's latest guitarist Gus G.

ESP guitars are renowned for the quality of their construction and it's a well earned distinction, as this quality is present in all their guitars and basses, from their top end signature models through to the more affordable LTD models. ESP and LTD guitars and basses feature high quality hardware and design features that are indicative of a company that has spent 36 years designing some of music's most brutal, hard wearing and road worthy instruments.
