Description
The ESP LTD Viper-256 is an undeniably cool guitar, perfect for players who love rock, blues, metal, and more. With its offset body, deep double-cutaways, and striking quilted maple top, the Viper-256 is an awesome axe that'll surely turn heads.
Featuring a solid mahogany body, the Viper-256 projects a resonant tone with deep lows, punchy mids, and truckloads of juicy sustain. Its quilted maple top gives it a gorgeous aesthetic and adds plenty of top-end chime and clarity to its voice, making it excellent for lead players looking to stand out. Shredders will love the Viper-256's Thin "U" shaped mahogany neck that feels lightning-fast for speedy solos and blistering leads, and its roasted jatoba fingerboard that plays with a buttery-smooth response.
The real powerhouse behind the Viper-256 is the dual LH-150 humbuckers that churn out a swirling torrent of face-melting tones. Crank the bridge pickup, and you'll unleash a searing, biting howl, perfect for high-octane shred sessions. Roll on the neck pickup and dial down the tone, and you'll find that the Viper-256 cleans up rather nicely. If you're looking for a little extra sonic versatility, though, don't worry - with coil-split functionality, these pickups can dial in any sound under the sun.
Complete with LTD tuners and an LTD TOM bridge and tailpiece for rock-solid intonation and tuning stability, the ESP LTD Viper-256 is an exceptional guitar for players who love riffing and shredding all night long.
