Get to know them!





With the ESP LTD Viper-1000 EverTune solidbody electric guitar, you've got a gig-ready rock machine in your hands. Playability is fast and precise, thanks to its Thin "U" neck profile and 24 extra-jumbo frets. And its fiesty tone is full of power, served up by EMG 60TW-R and 81 humbuckers (with a push-pull control for split-coil tones too). And you can expect excellent tuning stability over long playing sessions, thanks to its innovative EverTune bridge and locking tuners. With all this wrapped up in an undeniably menacing double-cutaway body style, the ESP LTD Viper-1000 EverTune is a great guitar to hit the stage with.





EverTune bridge





The EverTune bridge on the ESP LTD Viper-1000 EverTune is a mechanical system that helps you stay in tune under any playing situation. Long-lasting tuning stability and accurate intonation are supplied by small springs that keep consistent tension on your strings. And the tension is adjustable, offering static tuning under any playing conditions or standard performance for string bending and vibrato. Even if you're playing a long gig or recording session, your tuning will be more stable regardless of your playing style, temperature, or other variables.

Powerful and aggressive tones from EMG humbuckers





The combination of EMG pickups in the ESP LTD Viper-1000 EverTune gives you the perfect balance of tone shaping and sheer destructive power. The EMG 60TW-R neck pickup boasts the grumbling low-end sound you crave, with a push-pull control for easy coil-splitting and adding some bite to your tone. The EMG 81 bridge pickup sharpens things up with a snarlingly aggressive attack that effortlessly cuts through just about any mix. Put the two together, and you have an ultra-powerful, intimidating sonic duo that makes this axe sound just hardcore as it looks. Guitarists at Sweetwater agree, this pickup combination is primed for modern rock and metal.
