-Made in Japan

-24 Boxes

-Mahogany body

Channel crossing mahogany.

In-touch with inlay bne "dot" style pearl inlay and "ESP" Douzima the box.

Jumbo Frets-perfect for riffs and power chords, a little less fun for solo plans.

Fixed bridge-TonePros black.

TonePros Tailpiece Stop Bar-black.

Mcaniques self-locking Sperzel black.

Pickups EMG-81 neck and bridge position. Another questionable choice that t corrected later by the replaceable "intruders" with a more 'fair' 85.

-1 Potentiomtre Volume and Ring to all gr by Switch 3 positions.

... And all in a Case ESP simple and friendly.
The Viper MODEL standard has undergone several changes in the years of production. The configuration changes from a microphone is set a 81 81 81 85 plus "Polyval".
Ditto for mcaniques now we are on the Gotoh oil bath while on my SERIES I'm self-locking Sperzel. Gotoh is a great brand - making great products but have a Sperzel bound copy and enjoy the comfort of play I had the chance to compare all models of mcaniques and I always loved Sperzel Shaller and wraps, a real rgal!
The construction of the body and the handle is really in tune Mtal Viper and fulfills its goals and direction definitely extreme.
The battery hatch ACCS is really fantastic and well established and trs discrete if we speak of the black plastic door that blends into the body. Currently the location of the cell is in housing mtallique plutt rsistant rude but the plastic cover of the old SERIES.

The few electronic default unfortunately. The quality of welds and plutt risky and if we had the possibility to rewire everything properly to avoid trouble later cut or loss of signal, would the dal.
I found the default on some ESP but should not necessarily be rcurant. All fawns is not too serious, as easily split.

The Viper has the t trs think big sound and to meet new standards for sound trs heavy mtal groups present. Good Ismaili philosopher, but I do not think this guitar is Polyval. We can make esprer Hard to mtal but the rest is not too feasible.

UTILIZATION

APRS balad have his eyes on his superb line and learned by heart the list of hardware the team, it is high as we INTERESTED which cre, APRS her look, the motion in its future acqureur.

ESP would take most of the SG and look trs rock while dealing with the radical spirit of the brand.
We obtain an instrument that actually has nothing to see. The Viper is not for the Rock and Hard Rock on like its big but really for the most extreme Mtal.
-The handle of the standard Viper is really comfortable and fast access to its acute. It's really apprciable especially when one has extreme enchaine riff for over an hour in the spotlight.
The key is trs comfortable and allows you to drag the handle with ease until the end of the beginning. The bene is not it There's more common and the incidence of such an association (Mahogany, Ebne.) On the sound is quite foreseeable.
This gives a warm and heavy, really heavy trs lack of finesse and unfortunately does not allow to please all the lack of Polyval and of parfoit DEFINITIONS.
The choice of Jumbo is good for the riff and the power chords but this lack of finesse on the parties and can lead some players handicapped in their cravings crazy descents notes.

-The ergonomics and the culmination of years sparent the SG and the Viper ... Not without laughter, ESP completely rethink the instrument so that you can not compare to the form.
The weight is well plutt rpart is making the game easy because the head has not really used to look for.
The body shape with a thickness SG asymtrique consquente more than the original offers comfort diffrent. It really is bigger and we feel that this construction will be our answer to the solicitation and the pornstar's user logins.
The dcoupe Part suprieur ESP provides an advantageous position forearm which helps to scrape the strings with a lot of comfort

-The only potentiomtre Volume and Tone pure design of the instrument but a cre vritable missing when the possibility of rglage.
Fawns of any style is so extreme we stay in tune. It is as if one can rglage taient optional damage.


SOUNDS

When I purchased the Viper Standard c'tait with a view to playing only the hardcore and metal. Qute my sound is low especially on the power and capacity of micro sounds out the most saturated and can prcis t and I never owed.

-My style of music with this guitar DSIR: Mtal!
I never told him anything else demand because I knew that it was stronger than her to venture into other registers.
I am a big fan of his bluesy and classic rock, and my only solution is to change the instrument. Fortunately my Musicman Fidler is always l.
When I want to please me and sent the big sound, it always rpond Submitted. So yes, it should my style.

-The sound is heavy because of his body and mahogany neck. On his own words "surgical" in the EMG helps to give heat and that the sound may lack crucial grain.
There is a myth saying that the EMG on any guitar that sounded the same fawns. Yes is truth, but only for guitar medium without luthrerie worthy of being called as such.
I possess two of your exact guitar and has absolutely nothing to see! Only the output level is comparable.
If we want to make it simple to register his résumé is a sound: Heavy and Prcis.

"I dpart to play on a small transistor that Marshall was worthless and did not given the possibility to have fun with this beautiful instrument (besides withthe decline, it error to take a guitar though lev in line with an amplifier in the antipodes).
Now it's a combo Mesa Boogie Rectifier-I play it and enjoy!
It is obvious that the caratre this little monster 50W lamp while abroad is not being aggressive with my lovely Viper but with this kind of amp it is expressed.
I think many times to change the pickups to express new sounds but never concrtiser. It might be a mistake because I think it is well done as it is and you have to know the pet to do what you want.
Dj I try to connect to the Marshall, Randall, Orange and other hybrids ... and still his characters.

-What hurts is sound in his race for the famous position laqu'elle javais affection once (when my ear as a musician n'tait not as sharp.).
Like I said above, the sound is heavy. But this notion does not mean hot. This is your exact position that produces the neck of the guitar. We have a sound loaded bass but without much flavor and tasty grain. Hard groove in these conditions.
The clean part of a piece of it Nomtal redemendent and agree, but better use of this position would prfrable t. 60 could be put a an alternative, but when you love the sound clean and quie crunch of characters, one is hungry.
The rest is empty, once the saturation Submitted, she showed a capacity thundering us to play for hours.

I play in every tuning possible in almost all tie acceptable on this guitar. From 10-48 to 11-70, I have my beautiful ammen out the bass and the highest prcise possible, it is always followed unflinchingly Never!

A severe lack of Polyval but very effective in its style.

OVERALL OPINION

I acquired this guitar in 2005 and APRS ending for beginners 5 years of use tantt intensive tantt point, I've never felt weak.

I purchased this guitar on the spur of the heart, but still a novice j'tais music lovers.
She I so much that I bought without trying and completely exploding the budget I had for a new guitar.
Looking back c'tait a folly to a! But I have no regrets. His "SON" always gives me great pleasure and I like its look as always. I also fortunate to be a good fall on MODEL, I try on my guitar and I did not find the same passion. She had none of that. If only the quality of finish is the weight. Mine is much better finished and PSE when even more weight.

Its look and sound sharp convinced my ESP. I am convinced DEFINITIONS.
I made the right choice the era and today's diffrent my expectations, but I'm still proud to have this instrument in my possession.
I also played a MusicMan Petrucci who made my ESP abandoned for many months, but it's a pleasure to find my Viper with this tempra Ingala and sometimes too restrictive.

Trs good report quality price when you know it's a guitar for life. The quality is paid. Some brands and some models are abusing the exorbitant rates do not mritent such an investment.
Exprience but I can say that ESP is in time and if you your only interested by the scne mtal, the mark must hold your attention. I know that you can have or be due to Aprioris MODEL unfortunately not quite successful, but ESP offers something truly DIFFERENT.

The final grade will be 8.
TRS is a good note, but I must remain objective at least guide you in a first view of the instrument.
I know the others but surpasses it in price and quantity. It is sized for big riffs mtal; Powerful, heavy but incisive and uncompromising.
Branch in light of any kind Rectifier, JCM, Powerball, 5150 .. and so on, you drop the walls.
APRS having this information you know this guitar is for you .. or not.
