The ESP Viper is an electric guitar manufactured by ESP Guitars. The ESP Viper has a shape similar to that of a Gibson SG, with slight variations; Vipers have a slight diagonal slope at the bottom and an asymmetrical front profile. The body is mahogany or alder. The neck is three pieces, with a rosewood fingerboard. As standard, it comes fitted with an EMG 81/85 pickup set. It has a scale length of 24.75".
The LTD Vipers that are made by ESP's sister line are more affordable and of different quality in comparison to the ESP Viper. LTD Vipers are made of less expensive materials and do not possess the same specifications as ESP Vipers.
