Description
ESP LTD VIPER-1000VB Vintage Black Guitar B-Stock
The Viper-1000VB feels aggressive in hand, with its asymmetrical double-cutaway shape and fast Thin U-profile neck designed for high-speed soloing and comfortable upper-fret access. This B-Stock unit is brand new with only minor cosmetic blemishes, delivering premium construction and active electronics at a reduced price point. The matte Vintage Black finish with aged binding on the neck and headstock combines vintage aesthetics with modern playability.
Build & Playability
Set-thru construction with a 24.75" scale length ensures excellent sustain and fluid access to the upper frets, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard and 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets support aggressive riffing and precise bends. The 3-piece mahogany neck and mahogany body provide a solid, resonant foundation that pairs perfectly with the guitar's active pickup system.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers—ceramic in the bridge, alnico in the neck—deliver versatile tone with a push-pull voicing selector that switches each pickup between active aggression and passive-inspired warmth. LTD locking tuners and a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece in gold hardware ensure tuning stability and premium hardware aesthetics.
