Cutting-Edge Craftsmanship – The ESP E-II Viper Electric Guitar in See Thru Black Cherry
The Formerly known as “ESP Standard”, ESP E-II instruments are made in Japan at the ESP factory. No matter who you are and what kind of music you make, the E-II Viper in See Thru Black Cherry is a guitar you’ve always wanted. It has the diabolically asymmetrical double-horned body you love, but with modern enhancements that make it ideal for all high-performance music styles. Built at 24.75” scale with set-thru construction for smooth access to the highest frets, the E-II Viper See Thru Black Cherry has a mahogany body and neck with a satin-finished back for extreme speed and fluidity. Its ebony fingerboard features pearloid ESP flag inlays and 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, and is fully bound in white along with the headstock. This guitar features design details like a rich translucent finish, a multi-ply black brushed fingerboard, and complementary black hardware. Pro components on the E-II Viper See Thru Black Cherry include Gotoh locking tuners, a Gotoh TOM bridge and tailpiece, and a bone nut. Its active pickups are a set of highly versatile Fishman Open Core Classic Humbuckers with black rings and push-pull controls on the tone and volume knobs that select between a modern high-output tone, a vintage tone, and a single coil voice. Includes ESP deluxe hardshell case.
