LTD’s Viper Series offers the cool offset double-cutaway look that’s perfect for metal, hard rock, blues, and so much more. With the Viper-256, you get the classic vibe of a mahogany-bodied, 24.75” scale rock and roll machine. Even with its surprisingly low cost, the Viper-256 still offers great features like a set-neck construction with a fast three-piece mahogany neck, roasted jatoba fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets, a set of high-output ESP Designed LH-150 humbuckers with a coil split function on the push-pull switch as well as LTD tuners and an LTD TOM bridge & tailpiece.

Would love to see this finish on the 1000 series with 22 frets, Duncan pups and made in Korea.

Just picked one up, too good looking to pass up. A little buz on the 2nd string has me worried the string is a bit low and that's not something I can fix myself. But it is a beautiful guitar.

I so wanna get one of these and drop in a set of Gibson 496R/500T pups I took out of an old Explorer when I put EMG's in it. Upgrade the tuners to Grovers, TonePros locking bridge and maybe an Earvana compensated nut, but we'll see. A few hundred bucks and you basically have a 1000 series Viper or at least a 400 Series for sure. Specs are basically the same except for the fingerboard and hardware/pups. See they moved the neck strap button so that may help with the neck dive ...I hope!! Well done ESP.

I bought this back in August, 2020. I was planning on dropping it to B standard and upgrading the pickups and use it as my Doom machine. I understand this isn't a high dollar ESP but I love this guitar! It was love at first sight with the finish/color. Sooo gorgeous, sinister, deep and dark. It's so easy and comfortable to play, I feel it makes me play better. The stock pickups sound great, too! I decided to leave it stock because I didn't want to mess with this beauty's awesome playability. I guess I'll just have to buy the baritone as my Doom machine... !!!
