Factor in a rock-solid TOM bridge and a roasted jatoba fingerboard, and with the ESP LTD Viper-256 from Sweetwater, you’re ready for center stage.





Iconic Viper body style





Nothing says "let’s rock" like an ESP Viper-style guitar. When you pick up an LTD Viper-256, you’ll know exactly what we mean. The LTD Viper-256’s offset waist gives you the kind of comfort that lets you play for hours, and its double-cutaway design provides easy access to the upper frets both over and under the neck.
