Description

Description

The ESP LTD Viper-201B Black is a baritone electric guitar with an extended 27 inch scale length (868 mm) predestined for the clean representation of deep tunings in rock and metal. ESP relies on a classic doublecut design with a mahogany body and a glued, three-piece maple neck, which creates optimal conditions for comfortable playability with the “Thin U” profile. Two ESP Designed LH-150 humbuckers skilfully realize the low tuning and convince on the guitar amplifier with a powerful sound, which has a high assertiveness with tight bass, broad mids and a brilliant high frequency range. Last but not least, the ESP LTD Viper-201B is equipped with the traditional hardware in the form of Tune-O-Matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece and precise LTD die-cast tuner.

More info about this Product

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Baritone

Baritone guitars are designed with a longer scale length than standard guitars, allowing them to be tuned lower while maintaining string tension and clarity. They typically sit between a standard guitar and a bass in pitch, producing a deeper, heavier sound without losing definition.

They are widely used in alternative, metal, ambient, and cinematic styles, as well as for modern rhythm work and textural playing. Baritone guitars offer tight low-end response and extended range, making them ideal for players who want lower tunings with improved note clarity and control.

Black

Black instruments and gear offer a timeless, understated look that fits almost any style of music or setup. Whether it’s a guitar, pedal or accessory, a black finish is often chosen for its clean appearance, practicality and stage-ready feel. If you prefer gear that looks focused, professional and never goes out of fashion, black options deliver a classic aesthetic with no distractions.
