Get low and loud with this 27" scale baritone axe! The Viper-400B features a 3-piece mahogany set neck on a mahogany body loaded with EMG 85/81 humbuckers.

Been waiting on this guitar since esp announced it months ago and was shocked to see it on sale now. I play a lot of heavy metal (deathcore/hardcore whatever you genre critics wanna call it) and had a esp 7 string baritone but 7 strings just don’t feel to comfortable in my hands and in my picking hand, it just didn’t feel right or even sound right I thought I needed to get my amps repaired or something. I play in drop A btw. As soon as I started playing I already knew this guitar was made my Jesus and his disciples and Moses needed to check it out in order to give it his approval. Excellent geetar

I purchased the Viper 400B expecting a middle of the road guitar for lower tunings. When it arrived, I was blown away by the quality. This guitar is my first ESP purchase, and now I'm a big fan. The pickups are great for heavy guitar, as you'd expect from EMGs. The matte finish is beautiful, and i catch myself staring at the guitar across the room when I'm not playing it. I've been able to get an awesome clean tone for intros out of this axe, and the palm muting(chugs) and chordal stuff I do really growl and punch nicely. Single note passages sing out beautifully, and the neck feels very nice to my hands. If you're like me, and you love Melodic Death Metal Bands that use B standard tuning(Amon Amarth, Avatar, Kataklysm, etc.) and want to capture that tone yourself without having to file the nut down on a normal scale-length guitar, I don't think you can find a better option anywhere else in this price range. Great job, ESP! You've got yourself a new loyal customer!
