«  a real pleasure to play »

Made in Indonesia
24 frets, tune 24 3/4, 2 humbuckers EMG (81 & 85) with 1 volume and 1 tone + 1 3-position selector, mahogany body, mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard, all well finished in a beautiful black.

UTILIZATION

from the grip I felt it was made for me. Pleasant feel, playability blameless. Access to the treble as it is based on the design of a SG no problems. Not too heavy and the handle does not have this tendency to nosedive, as the SG (the location of the stationary belt there is probably something). Meanwhile it is a matter of taste: EMG we like it or not. I personally have more affinity with the 85 that I placed in the bridge position.

SOUNDS

I play heavy rock Hard'n trend Metallica. This is clearly one in which EMG great area. Plugged into a Peavey 5150 and a 4x12 cabinet Tiple Rectifier, it sends severe.

OVERALL OPINION

Purchased 2nd hand there for a week. I have a LTD EX401 with the same config microphones, and that sounds slightly sharper. But ergonomics at the Viper wins. Repeat the experience? Well ... let me first the user a little ;-)
