the viper shape is my favorite of the sg types, it has that offset look/feel of a jazzmaster but with an sg shape 👌... but man, that headstock is massive!!
I've been really interested in these Black/Arctic Metal LTDs since they're basically metal versions of "Junior" guitars, which are my personal favorite type of guitar.
I did not know these had the black winter in the bridge. Pretty muchy favorite pick up right now. Definitely going to give them a more serious look now.
I got a viper 1000 in 2008 maybe ? Loved it in the store. But when I got home and tried it standing up I noticed much more neck dive than my gibson SG. I returned it same day and got a vintage 30 cab instead
Get em before production ends cause of the Gibson rulings lol. I do love the look too, Reba was using this shape for a signature right? Badass axe for sure!
Hey man big fan of the channel. I was wondering what gauge of strings you use on most of your 6 string baritone guitars. Like around the 27in scale length range.
I ordered the EC-1000 Baritone months and months ago and have had no update on when it’ll arrive. Does anyone know when the new ESP-LTD guitars will arrive
Yoooo SMR that’s sick ass fiddle. I own the LTD Black Metal EC & I also have the LTD M-HT Black Metal. They are amazing aren’t they? Also, if interested I have the Seymour Duncan Black Winter PU that came with my EC. I wanted an EMG 85X so I swapped it out.
I was seriously looking at getting an LTD viper baritone. But the viper much like the SG just always feels like the neck is really far forward. Which to me is fine with a standard scale length but with the extended baritone scale length and the body shape already putting the neck farther forward I was worried that it would feel like the neck was way out there in front and feel like a reach. But I haven’t actually tried or played one. So if anybody has okayed one or owns one I’m curious if that’s the case and the nut feels really far away.
Hey man I just got a 7 string baritone and curious what string gauges you would use for Drop A? I saw your video on how light you like to go and I’m the same in that aspect.
I’m just curious, how low do you think this guitar could handle?? I know string gauges etc make a difference but I was just wondering how far you would potentially push it??
Let’s see if I can answer this articulately. A six string baritone is a six string typically tuned B to B rather than E standard which can be anything from 26.5” to 30” scale and a 7 string is tuned E standard with an extra low B so BEADGBE but personally to classify a 7 string as a baritone for me I’d say it would need to be like this one that was demoed at 27” scale minimum.
Sorry to double post in the comments, Ray. But to clear up for the comment I was replying to when I was speaking about B to B tuning for the six string baritone and B standard for the 7, I sheerly meant that was the default tuning they come in out of the box so to speak.
Its hard to comment on the overall sound of the guitar when you dont play beyond the d string? Would've been nice to hear the 3 thinner strings as well....metal players sometimes play lead guitar with high notes
