Gibson SG Menace vs. LTD Viper 500s / LTD VIPER-2005 30th Anniversary
Hi there,
Could anyone help me decide between a Gibson SG Menace and LTD Viper 500s/VIPER-2005 30th Anniversary? The pickups are 490R Smoky Coils (N) and 498T Smoky Coils (B) on the Gibson Menace ; and EMG 81/85 on the Viper. I play hardcore and believe the EMGs would suit my style better, right? Also, is anyone aware of the differences between the LTD Viper 500s and the LTD VIPER-2005 30th Anniversary? Thanks in advance. |

I'd get the Gibson because it's generally a higher quality guitar.

Thanks T00DEEPBLUE.
I'm particularly hesitant in terms of sound/pickups. |

I've never heard of that Gibson, or smoky pickups... the LTD would probably be better for hardcore.

The Gibson would do metal no problem, it's wether your amp can.

My amp is a Hughes & Kettner Warp X, so yes it can do metal.

You shouldn't have any problem then. I've never played a viper but they look like they'd feel a lot different to the Gibson. Give them both a try for feel, they will both sound different anyway.
