ESP take a classic design into modern territory. The LTD Viper-1000 Baritone 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 Baritone 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.
The 27" scale length is perfect for low tuned chugging as it increases the tension on the strings. The guitar comes tuned B-B but will have no problems going even lower, for filthy, heavy prog tones!
Sound
The EMG 60TW-R and EMG 81 are a perfect blend 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 active humbuckers (with a push-pull pot to switch between active and passive) suit it to a tee.
The EMG pickups deliver aggressive output of harmonically rich, responsive attack suited to high gain, with a sparkly top end and prominent midrange.
Here's what ESP say about the LTD Viper-1000 Baritone
Guitars in the LTD 1000 Series are designed to offer the tone, feel, looks and quality that working professional musicians require in an instrument. With the Viper-1000 Baritone, you get the diabolical look of the asymmetrical double-cutaway body shape in a 27” baritone scale guitar, typically tuned a fourth below standard (B-E-A-D-F#-B) for extended low end range for modern rock and metal. It uses set-thru construction for easy access to the highest frets, with a mahogany body and three-piece mahogany neck. Its Macassar ebony fingerboard includes 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets and white pearloid ESP flag inlays, and white binding on the neck and headstock. Components on the Viper-1000 Baritone include a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece, LTD locking tuners, and a set of EMG 60TW-R (neck, splittable with push-pull control) and EMG 81 (bridge) pickups, offering a good variety of powerful, aggressive tones.
