Congrats on a very sweet axe.

I loved my LTD deluxe 1000 Viper I just couldn't get it sounding right through a Twin and didn't feel like dumping hundreds more into additional pickup swaps hoping to make it sound right after I had tried just about every pickup I owned in it. It really needed a different amp, something darker and woolier like a Tweed Twin because it had an inherent bright bite to it along with a substantial bottom end. But the action and playability was insane. C'est la vie.
 
Had a few of those vipers & their eclipse counterparts through the years, and was happy to play the hell out of them. Congrats.
