I bought this back in August, 2020. I was planning on dropping it to B standard and upgrading the pickups and use it as my Doom machine. I understand this isn't a high dollar ESP but I love this guitar! It was love at first sight with the finish/color. Sooo gorgeous, sinister, deep and dark. It's so easy and comfortable to play, I feel it makes me play better. The stock pickups sound great, too! I decided to leave it stock because I didn't want to mess with this beauty's awesome playability. I guess I'll just have to buy the baritone as my Doom machine... !!!

I'd buy a bunch if they would have some vintage colors with pickguards.

It's hard to find them used. 60s gold or blonde, black cherry (non) transparent.

Black, white, cream.

Hey everyone. I’m really desperate for a Viper 256 in Military Green Satin but I cannot seem to find one in stock anywhere. I’m based in the UK and I was wondering if they were still manufactured and whether or not to expect a restock any time soon. Thanks.

I just bought one. Really great guitar. Fantastic playability!

I want to know what do you think are the best mics for a future upgrade, kepping a similar tone (that is fantastic) , but upgrading a little bit the sound.
