Un-edited incredible ESP LTD Viper-400 demo w/ Jamming over an acoustic guitar loop

Here's an ESP LTD Viper-400 for you to check out. It is extremely clean with no fret wear and only a few little dings and seems to be all original including a set of EMG 81 & 85 pickups and an Earvana compensated nut. I'm plugged straight into my Fender Super Sonic amp with an Avatar 2x12 extension cab...all 3 speakers are 12" Hellatone 30's...no effects...just a great tube amp and great speakers! The Loop was played on an Alvarez RF8C guitar plugged straight into a Marshall AS-50R amp which is what the playback is coming through. I did this in one unedited take and as usual, it is full of mistakes and sloppy playing but I'm just having fun and showing off the quality and features of the guitar (which I'm selling). I believe emotion and honesty are more important than playing perfectly...and this is a demo of the guitar after all and not of my "chops" or playing skills. I hope to add some playing over loops into my demo's now (as it is fun for me and adds a new dimension to the videos as well as shows off the guitars in a bit more of a natural playing environment. Once I learn how to use the (new to me Boss RC-20XL) Loop Station better, I'll do live loops. I'll be listing this on eBay with a $399.99 starting bid in a no reserve auction including free shipping for the Continental U.S.

As usual (for me), I'm just noodling/goofing around/trying to show off the guitar/trying to keep it fun...I hope you enjoy it! If I forgot to mention anything, just ask!

Here is a link to my current eBay auctions if you are interested...

hey love your guitar, i was thinking about getting a esp ltd viper 200.... should i just keep saving and get a viper 400 ? .... im abit stuck if you could help id be most grateful

[greengtrs]

@TheSpaceManDan Hang tight for a week or so...I've got a beautiful Viper 200FM I picked up recently that I'll be reviewing as soon as I have given it a fresh set of strings, a clean up, and a set-up (standard procedure for me). That way I'll be able to really give you my thoughts and you can actually hear it by jumping back and forth between the 2 videos (I always try to keep everything else like the amp/settings/cable...etc. the same). And for what it's worth, I do ship to the UK...

i like to come to this page whenever i feel like selling my viper 400. think i'll keep it.

[greengtrs]

@didyamaker Thanks! I love these guitars...I'm always looking for good LTD's (most are really good...at least the set-neck ones...but sometimes even they mess up...I saw an Explorer shaped one recently where they misplaced the bridge to one side so the strings didn't line up right). I'm about to do a shoot-out video between a Gibson SG Faded series and a Viper -301...I like the sound of both, but the Viper feels way better (for less money) and we'll see how the compare right next to each other.

look at those straps on that couch........!!

[greengtrs]

@mahajanparth My friend made them...used to sell them...,maybe he will again...I did a video for them...look for Jim Goodman Straps video (I forget the title but if you search that you should find it). Thanks for watching!

[greengtrs]

I'm trying to show the range of the guitars that I'm selling and not just play what is typical for it...listen to the whole thing..I build it up and jam at the end. Do I need to put down one guitar and pick up say a Fender Strat for any of the slow/mellow stuff in a typical set list? I can't please everyone (I've been practically yelled at for playing a Gibson ES-175 distorted). I play whatever I feel like playing...none of this stuff is really planned...if you like it, fine...if not, oh well...

that thhing is shiny when clean damn im so used to seeing finger prints all over guitars

[MrDoomproductions]

0:16 - 0:19 sounds like the acoustic part of suicide and redemption.. nice (:

[MrAdammassacre]

ive just bought the Ltd Viper 1000 deluxe its just amazing \m/

[didyamaker]

nice, that would be an awesome video, i've always liked sg's, that's why i bought a viper, to have the sg style but not be another one in a billion with the same guitar.

[greengtrs]

@scorchin64 That is the age old trick for SG's and these Viper's...move the strap button to the horn and then it balances out just great. Look into the Joe Barden pickups...passive and extremely high output that sound great clean or dirty...no batteries needed...they go for a little over $150 each for a humbucker...
