ESP LTD Viper-1000 See Thru Purple Sunburst May 2021

I bought my very first LTD guitar in 2004/2005. It was a Viper-100FM. I rocked that guitar on my first US tour and first Europe tour. Had a lot of great and first experiences with it. However..it did not survive TSA/the plane ride back from Europe :( So as you can probably understand..this Viper-1000 is a very sentimental and meaningful guitar for me!

 

When I saw ESP release the Viper-1000 in see thru purple I absolutely knew I needed to have it and be reunited with the Viper body after all these years. Happy to say this guitar plays like a dream and it’s super light!

 

When I think of the Viper I always associate it with lower tunings. Some local bands and international touring acts I grew up listening to in the heavy music scene and later in life use them so I guess that’s why. Kirk Windstein had a custom shop, Reba from Code orange, one of the early guitar players from Nasty had a snow camo/urban camo viper, and a band from my town called How It Ends. Before I bought this guitar I 100% knew I was going to drop it down to Drop B ASAP. Super heavy!

Hope you enjoy my jam for the month of May
