Guitar:
ESP LTD Viper 50

Features:
Agathis body, Maple neck, Rosewood fingerboard, 24 Frets, 2 Humbuckers, 1 Volume, 1 Tone, Fixed bridge.

Playability:
I have to say I am less than impressed with this guitar. I could not get a low action, and when I tried I got fret buzz everywhere! The neck felt nice and chunky though…

Sound:
Despite the action issues, this guitar sounds very nice. I think it is aimed at mainly metal and I couldn’t seem to get much of a usable clean sound from it.

Durability:
Fairly solid guitar, however the finish on the body isn’t very good. You can see where the different bits of wood are glued together if you tilt it into the light.

Comments:
A fairly nice guitar, if you are lucky and get one of the good ones.

Conclusion:
A good guitar if you like a high action, but other than that, try one before buying.
