The mahogany body of the VIPER-1000 ET QM STBCS is adorned with a maple top and a spectacular flame maple veneer top. A three-piece mahogany neck with a set-thru construction, i.e. a neck recessed deeper into the body, and a narrower fast Thin U profile is joined by an Ebony Macassar fingerboard fitted with twenty-four Extra Jumbo frets. Orientation around its surface is facilitated by position blocks.
Two passive humbuckers from the respected Seymour Duncan brand give the guitar the necessary sonic drive and great articulation - making the instrument suitable for a wide range of musical genres. Volume potentiometers, tone controls and a three-position pickup switch are used to adjust the sound. The Push/Pull tone shutter function allows you to split the pickup coils and change the character of the humbuckers to single-coil in seconds.
Precise and stable tuning is guaranteed by the string attachment in the Grover mechanics and the Evertune model F tailpiece, which compensates for string tension during plucking and sharper playing, ensuring the guitar stays in tune in all conditions. The instrument's stylish design is accentuated by a handsome See Thru Black Cherry Satin finish and black hardware.
ESP has been making electric guitars since 1984 and satisfied customers include Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield, Ronnie Wood and Max Cavalera. Due to the popularity of these instruments, a subsidiary company, LTD, was created to offer popular models in an affordable option. However, even in the case of ESP-LTD guitars, great emphasis is placed on the quality of workmanship and fitted components.
