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.
