MGR/Justin Henry « ESP Viper-400 »
Published on 09/19/04 at 15:00 I am going to tell about my LTD Viper-400. I acquired this guitar from a catalog company called Musicians Friend. 560 dollars was paid for this particular guitar. The main reason that I decided to buy this guitar is the fact that it has EMG 81 Active pickups. The sound from these pickups is awesome.
I love how this guitar sounds as I have stated earlier. This guitar has a low action and is farely easy to play. It has the new "Earvana Compensation Nut" which provides perfect tuning all the way down the neck which is hard to get in other guitars. It also has Grover tuning keys which all the guitar to stay in even while in a gig bag or hardshell. If u are an active musician u just might need this feature.
The only real thing I don't really like about this guitar is it is neck heavy like Les Pauls,but hey a leather strap will stop the sliding so there is a quck solution. Now I am realativly "picky" guitar player so the only other complaint that I have about my Viper-400 is when it is unplugged it had fret buzz. As soon as you plug it up however it disappers
The LTD Viper-400 comes with active EMG humbuckers to give u a nice crunch sound they sound awesome while on clean tone as well. A set neck is available on this model far better than a bolt on neck. It has a mahogany body and neck. While the fretboard is rosewood. This guitar also has simple controls a volume knob, a tone knob, and a three way pickup selector.
My final thought about this guitar is it is awesome. Not too expensive and it plays great.If u are looking for a moderatly priced guitar that plays excellent then the Viper-400 is the guitar for u.
