ESP LTD Viper-7 Black Metal Baritone 7-String, Black Satin Overview
The ESP LTD Viper-400B Baritone is designed for heavy metal. Stripped back and savage. Bleak in appearance, the solid matte black aesthetic aptly encapsulates the Viper's soul. Loaded with a formidable Black Winter pickup, it produces sounds that are "Extreme as the Scandinavian winters" and provides all the aggression you need. If break-neck riffing and down-tuned destruction is what you're searching for, you've found it.
The Viper 400B has a mahogany three-piece neck that is incredibly solid and helps negate warping, meaning less repairing and more time playing! It's also very comfortable to play thanks to its thin 'U' shape neck and a 15" radius fingerboard, giving you room to impress all over the board.

Rich, deep and monstrously dark, the longer scale length of the Viper-7 lets you explore lower registers like never before. With an additional string to attack the bottom frequencies, there's a wealth of rumbling, guttural sonics to conjure up. Pure metal mayhem flows through every chord and note this baritone beast produces. So get in the mood for menacing aggression, because this ESP brings it.
Destructive Black Winter sound
Seymour Duncan really are master pickup professionals. They have crammed such awesome, crushing power all into one pickup, and that's made it a match for even the most extreme metal genres. Frighteningly high-output, the Black Winter contains three large ceramic magnets to always deliver maximum tone and endless sustain. Designed to handle any tuning, you'll always excel whether you're sweep picking or attacking with aggressive palm mutes.
Handmade and meticulously balanced, this pickup is all you need bring earthquake magnitude rumble to your audience.
Built to last and play fast
This deadly Viper is built to shred. Showcasing a mahogany body and three-piece mahogany neck, these woods lend a creamy and deep tonality to every note, further enhancing the baritone design. The three-piece, ultra-thin 'U' shaped neck is key to creating your speedy riffs and unrelenting metal chords. It's comfortable to grip and gives your fingers ample room to manoeuvre. Its three-piece construction also gives it excellent durability and robustness. Get creative, get mean and bring the thunder like no other.
