Essential Information About the Viper-1000 Vintage Black Guitar
- Modern SG Spirit: Viper shape, sober and effective Black Satin finish, designed for energetic playing.
- High output and precision thanks to Fishman Fluence Modern pickups (ceramic at the bridge, alnico at the neck) and active electronics.
- Comfort and attack: Macassar ebony fingerboard, 22 frets, 350 mm / 13.78" radius for bends and fast playing.
- Stability: Tonepros Tune-o-Matic bridge and locking tuners, ideal for heavy tuning.
A Viper Designed for Modern Tones
The Viper-1000 Vintage Black carries the DNA of double-cutaway "SG"-style guitars but with a clearly contemporary orientation: gold hardware, satin finish, and active electronics. It is aimed at those who want a guitar with a classic look but modern performance, capable of handling distortion without losing definition.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This 6-string electric guitar is particularly suited for intermediate to advanced players, especially guitarists seeking a sharp attack, precise palm mutes, and leads that cut through the mix. It fits well with muscular rock, hard rock, and modern metal styles, while remaining expressive enough for more nuanced sounds when adjusting volume and tone (push/pull).
The Sound
The mahogany body and set mahogany neck provide a dense sonic foundation, with present mids, natural sustain, and a solid feel under the fingers. The Macassar ebony fingerboard adds precision to the attack and clear articulation on fast notes, highlighting tight chords and saturated riffs.
On the amplification side, the pair of Fishman Fluence Modern pickups offers a very balanced response and a high level of detail: the ceramic humbucker at the bridge favors clarity, dynamics, and bass retention, while the alnico humbucker at the neck delivers rounder, singing leads. The active electronics enhance signal consistency and precision, and the combination of a 3-position selector plus controls (1 volume, 1 push/pull tone) allows quick switching from cutting riffs to thicker solos.
