Location: Florida | Would some of you please contact the person selling this Viper on eBay about the non-original knobs.
The description states "Everything is original."
The knobs are not.
I've tried to point this out but with no avail.
Even sent him links of what they should look like.
I've been burnt on eBay and would not that to happen to anybody else.

He also states, "I’ve only owned this guitar for about a year."
So maybe he means that he hasn't changed anything?
My Viper came with Gold non-original knobs.
Now it has black non-original knobs that almost look original (from a distance). |

I wouldn't be burnt. I know they're not original.
But having been burnt in the past, I choose not to look the other way. Somebody else might take this person at his word.
I'm old fashioned, I believe in honesty in advertising.
I thought I would get a more positive reaction from the O.F.C..

I appreciate the info but I have this urge to be a weisenhimer. |

He's also been trying to re-sell it during his year of ownership! |

Not really.
This person has been trying to sell to sell this guitar on and off for the past few months.
I've pointed out his bogus knobs before to no avail.
By the way, mine sold.
See ya,
