The LTD Black Metal Series, like this LTD Viper-7B Baritone Black Metal 7-string electric, are guitars comparable in build quality to ESP's LTD Deluxe "1000 Series" instruments, but with a dark and menacing design theme of all-black finish, components and hardware. The LTD Viper-7B Baritone Black Metal features a single premium-quality pickup, Macassar ebony fingerboards with no inlays and glow-in-the-dark side markers, and even a newly-designed black metal LTD logo on the headstock. With the Viper-7B Black Metal, you get a seven-string baritone guitar that's ready for your darkest performances. It offers the offset double-cutaway design of the ESP Viper, with set-thru construction at 27” Baritone scale, a direct-mount Seymour Duncan "Blackened" Black Winter pickup controlled by a single volume knob, and LTD locking tuners.

The LTD Viper-7B sold separately.
