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 the tone is absolutely explosive, served up by Seymour Duncan Sentient and Pegasus 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 Grover tuners too. 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.

Exceptional clarity and richness from Seymour Duncan humbuckers





The combination of Seymour Duncan pickups in the ESP LTD Viper-1000 EverTune gives you the sonic versatility to switch between heavy riffing and expressive solo lines in a flash. The Sentient humbucker in the neck position is like a traditional PAF humbucker with added harmonic complexity, giving it a voice somewhere between Seymour Duncan's '59 and Jazz pickup models. The Pegasus pickup at the bridge features custom-wound coils and Alnico V magnets that deliver impressive clarity and articulation, for excellent string-to-string separation. Guitarists at Sweetwater agree, this pickup combination is primed for modern rock and metal.
