ESP E-II Viper Baritone Electric Guitar in Charcoal Metallic Satin B-S

ESP E-II Viper Baritone Electric Guitar in Charcoal Metallic Satin B-Stock

The E-II Viper Baritone captures extended low-end authority in the studio with its 27" scale, delivering the articulation and tension needed for heavier tunings without muddiness. The neck-through construction and thin U contour enable rapid position work across the full 24-fret span, while the Charcoal Metallic Satin finish presents a professional, understated aesthetic that resists fingerprints and photographs cleanly for any session aesthetic.

Playability & Construction

This neck-through design built around a mahogany body with 3-piece maple neck and ebony fingerboard translates into exceptional sustain and tonal coherence—critical for layering and overdubbing extended-range material. The 27" scale length maintains genuine tension and articulation in lower tunings, while the 24 XJ frets with dot inlays and binding ensure smooth tracking and consistent intonation across the entire range for precise recording takes.

Tone & Recording Character

EMG 60 (neck) and EMG 81 (bridge) active pickups provide the clarity and controlled aggression essential for modern production work and extended-range tracking. The Gotoh TOM bridge and tailpiece coupling locks in the tuning stability required for multi-track sessions, and the Gotoh locking tuners eliminate drift during long takes or aggressive bends, keeping your recordings tight across punch-ins and overdubs.
