ESP LTD VIPER-1000VB Vintage Black Lefty Guitar

ESP LTD VIPER-1000VB Vintage Black Lefty Guitar

The VIPER-1000VB delivers exceptional fret access and lightning-fast playability through its set-thru neck construction and thin U-shaped profile, making it a natural fit for technical solos and intricate riffing. The asymmetrical double-horn design and Vintage Black finish with aged-look binding create a menacing aesthetic that commands attention on stage. Built for left-handed players who refuse to compromise on hardware quality, electronics sophistication, or tonal range.

Playability & Build

Set-thru neck construction paired with a three-piece thin U-shaped maple neck ensures immediate access to the 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets while maintaining structural rigidity and sustain. The mahogany body resonates with rich, full-bodied character, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard with 350mm radius and pearloid ESP flag inlays provides both precision and comfort for extended playing sessions.

Tone & Electronics

The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups deliver unparalleled tonal versatility through dual voicings accessed via push-pull tone controls—the ceramic bridge pickup offers high-output crunch and searing clarity, while the alnico neck pickup provides full-bodied articulation or smooth, fluid tones depending on voicing selection. LTD locking tuners and a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece with gold hardware ensure superior tuning stability and extended sustain across extended sessions.
