help with viper custom
i was thinking of getting a custom viper made as the sg is one of my fav guitars and i cant seen to find exactly what i want from the standard models.
my main concept is a body somewhere between a viper and an sg ie. as close to the sg shape as possible but with the vipers thickness to get a much thicker tone.
I would also like it to be through neck and based around hetfields eet fuk explorer. ie creamy white with middle finger inlays.
It would be a maple neck with ebony fretboard and mahogany wings like my 85 gibson explorer and have a more rounded 62 style neck profile rather than the flat 61 taper and 24 jumbo frets. 81/60 emgs, one tone, one vol, toggle switch, graphtech nut, tone pros2 tune-o-matic bridge and spertzels(not sure of spelling)
does anyone have any ideas of the cost of esp to do this,that is if they can do a viper in a more sg shape or any other companies/lutheirs that could do this for me any cheaper?
heres a quick mock pic with viper body and 22 frets i think
I have been debating my next guitar as want something similar to a kh2 in the short term (horizon custom later) and looking at their guitars ,holy crap i am impressed i know its an ESP forum but thats great work.
I do not feel they match ESP quality though , just from looking but i would consider it as a regular beater/jamming guitar

Well, you haven't played both side by side...
really that seams kinda cheap for a fully custom guitar and not just a slightly changed standard model.
Have you had any custom vipers built? opinion? pics?
Does anyone have a ran custom, if so what is your opinion compared to esp?
pics?
what is the timescale in getting one build for the two companies?
