    NOTE: Due to ongoing challenges in the global supply chain, instruments purchased from ShopESP that are not currently in stock may take an extended time frame to be delivered.

    The LTD Black Metal Series are guitars that are comparable in build quality to our LTD Deluxe “1000 Series” instruments, but with a dark and menacing design theme of all-black finish, components, and hardware, a single premium-quality pickup, Macassar ebony fingerboards with no inlays and glow-in-the-dark side markers, and even a newly-designed black metal LTD logo on the headstock. With the Viper-7B Black Metal, you get a seven-string baritone guitar that’s ready for your darkest performances. It offers the offset double-cutaway design of the ESP Viper, with set-thru construction at 27” Baritone scale, a direct-mount Seymour Duncan “Blackened” Black Winter pickup controlled by a single volume knob, and LTD locking tuners.

    Just ordered this guitar, sounds monstrous but the QC isn’t acceptable. Missing paint, the binding along the bottom edge of the fretboard is chipped and some of it is higher than the fretboard and very sharp. 

    I’ve owned literally dozens of LTDs and have never experienced this before. Who should I contact about this?

            Got mine week ago. It became my favourite 7-string guitar EVER. A killer guitar.

                I bought one of these bad boys a few months ago and it's by far my favorite guitar. The black winter humbucker is amazing for high gain black metal tones and the coil splitting knob makes for beautiful crisp clean tones. The neck is also very comfortable. The only complaint is neckdive but that's basically inevitable with the an sg style guitar that's 7 string but once you get used to it, it's not bad at all. Overall, an amazing guitar.

                    A 6 string version would be wonderful.
