The ESP LTD VIPER-1000VB Vintage Black Lefty Guitar is a bold and versatile instrument built for players who demand both aggressive aesthetics and cutting-edge performance. With its asymmetrical double-horn design and Vintage Black finish, complete with aged-look binding on the neck and headstock, the Viper-1000VB exudes a dark, menacing vibe that's perfect for modern rock and metal genres.

Constructed at a 24.75” scale with set-thru neck construction, the guitar offers exceptional access to the highest frets, making it ideal for technical solos and intricate riffing. The mahogany body delivers rich, resonant tones, while the three-piece thin U-shaped maple neck ensures lightning-fast playability. Topped with a Macassar ebony fingerboard featuring pearloid ESP flag inlays and 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, this guitar is designed for both precision and comfort.

Premium gold hardware enhances the guitar's standout look and includes LTD locking tuners and a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece for superior tuning stability and sustain. At its core, the Viper-1000VB is powered by a set of Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker active pickups. These pickups provide unparalleled tonal versatility with two distinct voicings accessible via a push-pull tone control:

• Bridge Pickup (Ceramic):
  • Voice 1: High-output ceramic tone with crisp, searing crunch, tight bass, and a pronounced growl.
  • Voice 2: Modern passive tone with organic distortion, dynamic response, and exceptional clarity.
• Neck Pickup (Alnico):
  • Voice 1: Modern active alnico tone with full, boosted sound and exceptional articulation.
  • Voice 2: Clean, fluid humbucker tone that’s ideal for melodic passages and smooth leads.

The guitar's overall design and tonal features make it a powerhouse for stage and studio applications, offering flexibility for a wide range of genres and styles.
