ESP LTD Viper-256 Electric Guitar Olympic White

Description
The ESP LTD Viper-256 electric guitar brings classic offset style to your stage and studio performances. With its mahogany body and set neck design, the Viper-256 resonates with warm, full-bodied tone perfect for rock, metal, blues and beyond. Its gloss polyurethane finish not only looks great, but also enhances resonance and sustain. The Viper-256 features an extra thin, fast-playing mahogany neck with 24 extra-jumbo frets for solos that fly across the fingerboard with ease. Dual humbucking pickups can be split via push-pull pot to go from thick, saturated tones to brighter, airier single coil sounds at the flick of a switch. With its black hardware and binding, the 10-pound Viper-256 makes a bold visual statement while remaining comfortable and easy to play.
Dial in Your Tone With Dual Humbuckers
This LTD Viper-256 guitar comes loaded with a pair of ESP-designed LH-150 humbucking pickups that balance warmth and bite. Use the 3-way toggle switch to engage the bridge pickup for aggressive lead tones, the neck pickup for smooth warmth or both pickups together for balanced rock rhythm. Each pickup can also be coil-split on the push-pull tone knob for single-coil snap and twang.
Shred With Ease on an Extra Thin, Fast Neck
The ESP LTD Viper-256 features a slim, fast-playing mahogany neck with a thin U-shaped profile that fits like a glove in your hand. Its 24 extra-jumbo frets give you ample room for soloing high up the neck. The jatoba fingerboard adds brightness and clarity to each note. A contoured heel provides effortless access to the highest frets so you can shred with precision. Overall, the Viper-256 neck offers one of the fastest playing experiences you'll find.
Aggressive Style With Black Hardware
The Viper-256 guitar projects an aggressive rock image with its see-thru black cherry finish and black hardware. Tuning stability comes from a set of LTD-branded machine heads. Intonation and sustain are optimized by the Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece. The Viper body shape has contours and a cutaway for playing comfort. Order the ESP LTD Viper-256 and unleash your inner rocker.
Plug and Play Right Out of the Box

I wanted an SG without the price,so I got this Viper.I like having just one volume and one tone plus it has coil splitting.I also like that the input jack is on bottom not in front like a Gibson.Pickups are good too.Was surprised with the quality and setup,very nice.I would recommend. What's not to like?
