Released as a 2024 limited edition to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Japanese punk rock band dustbox, the EDWARDS E-VIPER-CTM is based on the ESP VIPER long used by vocalist and guitarist SUGA.
It features a 40mm mahogany body, 3-piece hard maple neck and 24-fret rosewood fingerboard, with a Star-Cut bolt-on joint and deep cutaway providing comfortable access to the upper frets.
The Seymour Duncan pickup combination — SH-2n Jazz in the neck and SH-5 Custom in the bridge — was personally selected by SUGA for this model.

Black Crane Notes
A distinctive limited-edition EDWARDS with a genuine artist connection, rather than simply a cosmetic variation of the E-VIPER. The SUGA-selected Seymour Duncan pickup combination, brass nut and GOTOH hardware make this a particularly interesting Japanese-made Viper configuration.
