Great, honest video. Locking tuners are not always the best choice. For one, they are often unnecessary, especially in a fixed bridge instrument. Yes, they can help you change strings faster. But unless you are a big performer with your own traveling guitar tech you don't need to worry about this, in which case your tech would just hand you another guitar to play between songs as he replaces the broken string, which really won't be broken in enough to play out the remainder of the gig as that new string keeps going out of tune as it settles. I stopped bothering with locking tuners a long time ago unless it's a guitar with a trem, which I rarely play anyway. This LTD Viper-256 will probably be my next gutiar. I've played them at shops and the stock pickups sound really good. But if I tired of them I already have a good collection of pickups, from Duncan, DiMarzio and EMG, although I'd probably put a Duncan set in like a Custom SH-5 and Jazz. But I'd give the stock pickups a chance as they already sound terrific and very well matched to the guitar. I consider the Viper line the best take on the SG ever produced. It solves the neck dive issue, has better craftsmanship, is more ergonomic with the placement of the tone control and volume, and they have better electronics. They also look damn cool with that offset thing going on.

Im saving some money to buy this or the ESP Ltd EC 256.
Thx for the preview.
You're welcome! The LTD EC 256 looks pretty well too! Cheers
I have the Viper 254 in white! The 254 is the bass that looks almost the exaxt same except dot inlays and a matching headstock
They match very good with each other!
With your review I can appreciate the sounds of the guitar. Well done!!! For me, maybe with AlNiCo pickups the guitar would be better.
Thanks! Possibly :)
Damm, I love your attitude in the comments.
Keep it up.
Thanks man!
Nice video! Thanks for all the information.
Helpful review! Thanks! 🤘
Thanks 😃
Great review, but i think the title is wrong. I checked the ltd website and the guitar costs 599.
That you for not playing the same blues licks everyone plays in demos.
Are you playing through the Engl?
Doesn't the newer version have a white headstock instead of black?
Yes, I think you are right!
Why do you think it is suited for drop tunings?
Hey! Because of the definition and clarity in the sound that comes from the pickups! Cheers
I am a fan of lTD. But the pickups could be better.
😆
Seymore Duncan Black Winters? Maybe
I have this same one. I want to put fishmans in mine
wish it had an ebony fretboard!
That would be for sure better!
Never saw a review where people demonstrate how the hand fits into the 24 th fret......don t know why🤷 . You don t have to play , just to mention it
is this made in Indonesia?
Hey! It’s made in China. Cheers!
The new ones with the white headstock are made in indonesia
@@fedayeentaqx9956 cool bro, but I already ordered an LTD EC 1000 VBR. Cheers!
this guitar sounds like an intercom...
