Double Cut

ESP E-II Viper UC

Electric Guitar / HN200682

Description of product

The ESP E-II series are electric guitars made in factories in Japan, forming a bridge between the top ESP USA models and the more affordable LTD line. These are instruments made from quality materials and components that not only look great, but sound great too.

The E-II Viper electric guitar features an asymmetrical double-cut body design inspired by the classic SG shape. The body itself is made of mahogany. The mahogany neck with a set-thru construction, i.e. a neck recessed deep into the body, and a narrower fast Thin U profile is joined by an ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty-four Extra Jumbo frets. Orientation on its surface is facilitated by position blocks.

Two active EMG humbuckers provide the instrument's sound with the necessary fullness and precise articulation for vocal solos or chord breakdowns, while also providing density and aggression for ultra-fast guitar shred and sharply chiseled rock and metal riffs. Controls in the form of two volume potentiometers, a tone shutter and a three-position pickup switch offer complete control over the sound of the pickups. In addition, the Push/Pull function of the volume knobs lets you split the coils of both pickups to combine the humbucker sound with single-coil or set a pure single-coil character.

Tuning stability and good sustain are guaranteed by the string attachment in the high-quality Gotoh Locking tuning machines and in the solid Gotoh TOM tailpiece and strings. The range of quality used components is complemented by Schaller safety strap locks.

The guitar comes in a carrying case.

ESP has been manufacturing electric guitars since 1984 and satisfied customers include Kirk Hammet, James Hetfield, Ronnie Wood and Max Cavalera.
