Comments about ESP Viper 1000 Electric Guitar (See Thru Black):
This is very good, great sound, even an ok look. Its aweosme, dont get me wrong but there is a problem... So I was picking out guitars that looked good and the guy at the guitar shop handed me this I was like "ewww, knockoff of the SG" but then he played it and it was amazing!!! I then gave it a try and it had a great sound and feel but 1 HUGE PROBLEM!!! The fingerboard is too smooth its like gliding in the air with like special ice skates!! Its overly smooth and is sometimes hard to play with. I guess if you are very very good and have a lot of experience this thing is the ultimate metal-shredding monster for you, but not for me. It depends if Id recommend this. Great guitar- too smooth.

"This is one of the best guitars i've ever played. The tone is absolutely killer, and the EMG-81s really add to it. If you want a killer guitar that wont drain your bank account, get this guitar."
