The ESP Guitar Company

Guitars in the LTD 1000 Series are designed to offer the tone, feel, looks and quality that working professional musicians require in an instrument. If you’re looking for a guitar that’s an instant classic from day one, the Viper-1000M gives you all the elements for the best performances in rock and metal. It offers a great-looking mahogany body with a transparent gloss See Thru Black Cherry finish, allowing the beauty of the wood grain to show through. It uses set-thru construction for easy access to the highest frets, paired with a three-piece mahogany neck. Its Macassar ebony fingerboard includes 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets and white pearloid ESP flag inlays, and black binding on the neck and matching-finish headstock. Components on the Viper-1000M include a TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body, LTD locking tuners, and a set of direct-mount Fishman Open Core Humbucker pickups with push-pull control to activate their multiple voicings.
