Location: Upper Left USA | Daddy (Miles) has gotta pay the bills so with the help of a few dedicated OFCers I have tossed together a much better than average full fledged Woody resurected Viperish guitar with case.
The key features here are the Flamy Maple top, Woody TRC, Maple Viper Neck, Tuners and attitude.
The pickups are rather unique looking and very competant. The Bridge is unique and extremely adjustable as well.
This unit has that Maple snappiness and tone!
The history of the assembly is here in an Album from my Ning page.
2011 OFC Viper
Here is a video of how it sounds
So... anyone can bid by sending your bid and contact info to Miles at swag@ovationfanclub.com and I want to start the bidding a $300.USD (my bid).
All moneys go to support the OFC and bidding will run until December 17th, 2011 when Miles finishes his dinner and decides to end the bidding! (aka no last second bids).
Miles will sporadically post the high bid (but not the bidder) and keep us posted.
Guitar, case and free shipping in the CONUS!
All other locations please expect to pay the addtional costs.
Feel free to ask questions and bid away! |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Sorry for this little diversion; we will return to your regular programming, shortly......
I can't seem to "capture" the visual portion of the video. I reloaded the Flash Player, to no avail.
Is there something else I need to adjust?
The audio portion is fine.... but, really now...."dudes & dudettes"?!
Totally...... |

Note to self - put a wide neck electric semi-hollowbody made to look like a 57 Caddy on the project list. |

I think it's because you're wearing a tie in the video. |

MWoody did an amazing job on this guitar and it sounds fantastic. (insert round of applause here) |

In the hands of a Bluesy player (or someone willing to learn) this would be a killer guitar! |

Actually, I'm willing to learn some blues stuff and trying. I leave my Tuesday lesson with a head full of killer blues licks and a few more tabs and by the time I get home, I'm still the plain vanilla guy who can't figure out what all those different knobs and switches are for. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | If it comes here it will be a player. I'm struggling, but I'm playing my two electrics a lot now. My acoustics were getting jealous, so I played the Classic and Folklore the other night. Those are really nice guitars. |

Location: Upper Left USA | For the few of you that may be residing on the "Naughty" side of Santa's list:
I have it on good sources that purchasing this fine example of American Craftsmanship for a righteous cause may contribute greatly toward tipping the scales toward the "Nice" side!
Then once you have it you can play as naughty as you like! |

Location: SoCal | I have three of Michael's work: Deacon, and original version of the Viper and Viper 12-str (? original style 12-str Viper may be the only one). He does great work, as good, maybe better than an original.
You will get a great instrument and help the OFC. |
