Full Description

Mahogany Body

The ESP LTD VIPER-400M Electric Guitar is crafted from mahogany, delivering warm, balanced tone with an excellent bass response. A familiar, double cutaway is also included and allows players to reach the higher frets with ease.

The 59 pickup is extremely versatile and delivers a vintage voice with a clear and bright attack. The JB pickup is one of Seymour Duncan's most popular pickup, and produces a powerful, low end that is suitable for any style of music . Players can easily shape their tone using the controls for volume and tone, as well as a 3-way toggle switch for pickup selection.

Tune-O-Matic Bridge & Tailpiece

The VIPER-400M Guitar features the popular Tune-O-Matic bridge, also known as a TOM bridge. Complete with tailpiece, this TOM bridge is especially designed to deliver superb sustain, thanks to it innovative design. With this bridge, each string can be intonated individually, for the best tone possible.
