The ESP LTD Viper-256 is a bold, modern take on a classic offset design—built for players who demand versatility, tone, and style. Its mahogany body and set-neck construction deliver rich, resonant sound with excellent sustain, making it a perfect match for rock, metal, blues, and more. The sleek gloss polyurethane finish not only enhances its stage-ready look but also contributes to its powerful resonance. Equipped with an ultra-thin mahogany neck and 24 extra-jumbo frets, the Viper-256 is built for speed and comfort—ideal for fast leads and expressive solos. A pair of powerful humbuckers offer thick, punchy tone, with coil-splitting capability via a push-pull pot that opens up a world of single-coil clarity and chime. Topped off with blacked-out hardware and elegant binding, the Viper-256 weighs in at 4.5 kg and delivers standout aesthetics with pro-level playability.
