no more earvana nuts?
My 2011 Viper 1000 has a plastic nut. Yeah, whatever kind of plastic it is, it's pretty decent quality. I ordered the guitar online, and since the info isn't listed anywhere, I had to figure out what the material was on my own. I emailed customer service a couple times about it, but no one ever got back to me. I guess they didn't want to talk about it, since it's technically a downgrade on the specs.
It's kind of a shame since the tonepros is top-notch, and the ESP locking tuners seem close to top-notch so far.
On the plus side, the ebony fretboard is a definitive upgrade on the Viper 1000, and the other LTD 1000s. Also, while the plastic pearloid flag inlays are technically a downgrade, they actually look better than all that over-the-top abalone that used to be on the Viper 1000s, it's not as distracting.
A Viper 1000 with ebony board, bone or Graph Tech nut, and real MOP inlays would be an ultimate though, since these guitars play so well.
