Extended Register and Aggressive Tones

The ESP LTD Viper 201B is a rock-solid baritone boasting aggressive ESP tone and style. This guitar’s double-cut mahogany body offers full access to all 24 of the mahogany neck’s extra-jumbo frets, while the jatoba fingerboard’s flat 350mm radius is ideal for both shredding and low-position chug. To fully capture the Viper 201B’s subsonic potential, ESP loaded this guitar up with a screaming pair of ESP-designed humbuckers, providing you with high output and a defined tone on even the lowest of riffs. A 2-piece bridge and tailpiece setup enhances sustain and increases string-to-body resonance, while the LTD machine heads ensure your axe’s tuning retains the utmost reliability. If you’re after a mean-looking baritone with an even meaner tone, look no further than the ESP LTD Viper 201B

Scaled right and shaped for superior playability

The LTD Viper 201B Baritone boasts a 27-inch scale length, so you can tune down without messing up your string tension. The benefit of access to the lower register that down tuning provides can be offset by improper string tension; ESP made sure you won't be robbed of the right feel. And the LTD Viper 201B Baritone offers additional comfort considerations. Its 3-piece, Thin "U"-shaped mahogany neck makes for extra-ergonomic, fast playing, and the double-cutaway Viper body style gives you unmatched access to all 24 of this axe’s extra-jumbo frets.
