wait. no you can't buy one for 100 bucks.
that must be an LTD viper then, and if so which exact model and with what pickups?
I've played the LTD Viper and it wasn't 'bad' but the one I played had EMG 81 pickups instead of the crappy EMG HZ's. also had a set neck, I think it was the deluxe version or something, all black hardware too. (edit: it was the ltd viper 400, it comes with 81's.)
I also play an ESP Viper in ibbenburen (germany) and I loved that one, kinda like a super-SG but way more brutal and a lot more sustain, but it was really pricey and I don't think I'de spend so much on a guitar thats... not really versatile. I'de probably go for the LTD and upgrade it, its not like you're gonna use if for jazz or anything, they're good at metal though!
the neck is like a supercharged SG too, a bit slimmer and faster, pretty comfortable, though the LTD had some dead spots on the frets above the 12th. I'de like to own one though, so if I see one going used I'll probably get it someday.
Right now I'm bidding on a Viper 301 in germany, might want to do it up and customize the hell out of it if I can get it cheap. don't know if I want a white one though, but black ones are kinda dull and the other colours are ugly
