ESP Viper Electric Guitar - Camo
ESP Standard Series Viper - made in Japan with the utmost care and attention to detail one would expect from ESP.
The features of this guitar really speak for themselves with a Set Thru Neck construction into a solid Mahogany body. This provides a really nice resonant platform which shines through in the plugged in tone. The EMGs are a classic combination perfect for rock music and if you want to crank up the gain this guitar has all the balls you need.
In addition, the necks on all the Japanese ESPs are simply outstanding. The Thin-U shaped neck is as smooth as silk all round and the Ebony fret board is gorgeous and very very smooth. The guitar is also equipped with excellent quality Gotoh hardware, and even has a neat holder for the 9v battery powering the EMG pick ups.
Feature packed, ready to rock the ESP Viper is a true players guitar, built to an excellent standard and will never let you down.

Some of the special features of this ESP Guitar include:
GOTOH MAGNUM LOCK TUNERS
ESP proudly features Gotoh locking tuners on many new and existing ESP Standard Series instruments. Gotoh parts have long been the choice for many ESP instruments over the years. Gotoh's unique design automatically locks the string to the shaft while winding the tuning key (tuning to pitch).
SET-THRU NECK JOINT
Our innovative neck construction technique gives you the look and feel of a neck-thru-body design while maintaining the warmth and wood tone combinations of a set-neck instrument. Access to the upper frets is not a problem. And gone is that old traditional “bulky” set-neck heel.
TWO-WAY ADJUSTING TRUSS ROD
Most of our instruments are built using a 2-way adjusting truss rod. Unlike a traditional (single-adjusting) truss rod which is still commonly used on many other manufacturers' instruments, our truss rod is adjustable both clockwise and counter-clockwise. With a single-adjusting truss rod, once you loosen the nut all the way, that is it. You are left with no more adjustment – this can leave your instrument unplayable if the neck cannot be adjusted properly. By using a 2-way truss rod we have eliminated the possibility of that ever happening.
