We invited Caleb Shomo, the founder, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist of rock band Beartooth, to drop by the ESP Showroom in Los Angeles to get an early look at the LTD Deluxe Viper-1000 Vintage Black, part of our "New for 2024" collection. The Viper-1000 already has a diabolical look with its asymmetrical double horns, and with the addition of the Vintage Black treatment, with a matte black finish and aged-look binding on the neck and headstock, this guitar just got a whole lot meaner. Built at 24.75” scale with set-thru construction that allows smooth access to the highest frets, the Viper-1000 Vintage Black pairs a mahogany body with a three-piece thin u-shaped maple neck. Its Macassar ebony fingerboard has pearloid ESP flag inlays and 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, maximizing the sweet spot for both the neck and bridge pickups to offer their ideal tones. Its premium gold hardware includes LTD locking tuners and a TonePros TOM bridge and tailpiece. The Viper-1000 includes a set of Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker active pickups (ceramic in the bridge and alnico in the neck), with push-pull control to select voicings and gold covers to match this guitar’s noteworthy aesthetics. Each pickup offers two voices. With the ceramic bridge pickup, Voice 1 is the ultimate high-output ceramic humbucker bridge pickup tone… crisp, searing crunch, tight bass with no mud, and a growl. Voice 2 delivers modern passive attack performance that has superbly organic distortion characteristics with outstanding dynamics and response. The alnico neck pickup’s Voice 1 is Fishman’s modern active high-output tone, offering the ideal active alnico sound: full, round, and boosted, but with unprecedented articulation and dynamics. Voice 2 gives you the crisp, clean and fluid neck humbucker tone you’ve always wanted.

She is beautiful! i bought an LTD Viper 1000 see through black way back in around 2010 and still to this day is my fave guitar. :)
Damn do i really need another one? I already have 10 guitars. 7 of them have floyd rose. I have a USA Adrian Smith Jackson 2021 model. Im really digging this one.
Finally 22 frets!
Question
Do more people prefer the LTD Deluxe Viper or LTD Deluxe Eclipse (full body, recessed TOM bridge)?? 🤔
❤🎉❤muy bueno saludos cordiales❤🎉❤
I wish I bought that guitar, but I bought a one Les Paul shaped.
😁🎸😁🎸😁🎸😁🎸😁🎸🔥👍🇧🇷
But does it DJENT?
Can anyone tell me IF it neck dives? I've never played an SG style guitar that doesn't - very important.....TYVM
From personal experience, the ltd viper's neck is lighter and thinner that a gibson sg. There is neck dive, but not at the severity of a Gibson. Also the strap lock on the viper is on the top horn not centered by the neck like the gibson. Makes a huge difference.
Ouch.

Shitman pickups.
Why are they bad to you?
@@ScottPCthey are so flat and make any guitar sound ugly. I've remembered the times when almost everybody criticized EMG's for "overcompression" and "bad cleans", " flatiness", but man, in comparison with Fishmans they are beautiful and opening potential of many guitars. While I've never heard any good sounding guitar with Fishmans even from the best players, like Tosin Na-Bass-E: everybody sounded better with EMGs, Dimarzios, etc. And knowing that Fishmans are draining batteries in 10 times faster than any other actives, I am like "WTF?!". They are absolutely overhyped and people must be deaf if they like them. About "deaf"- DEaFTONES after starting using Fishmans in 2016 sound ugly. Like compare their sound on Diamond Eyes, absolutely brilliant, and now- hiss and buzz.
@@MadDjentah you have your reasons fair play!
@@MadDjentah i mean it's pretty subjective, i don't like them either, mostly for the battery drain, but saying "people must be deaf if they like them" just makes you sound incredibly biased
If you're playing high gain your pups don't matter.
needs an evertune and it would be perfect
