Wanted - Viper III

ctrader Posted 2007-07-06 5:40 PM (#314172) Subject: Wanted - Viper III Joined: July 2007 Posts: 2 Location: Central Texas I'm looking to buy a Viper III in good playable condition. Needs to be in good shape and reasonable w/case. Would anyone care to share opinions as to the comparison of the Viper series to the Preacher series. I played a Breadwinner model back around 1976 and would love to try and find a Viper III. I remember how I really liked the fretboard action and am hoping the Viper III is similar to that. Thanks in advance!

Good luck with your Viper III search. Just to let you know though, the Viper necks are very different from the Breadwinners. I love the way my Viper plays and sounds but the Breadwinner has a smaller neck and a faster playing fretboard. IMHO, that is. Good luck! ctrader Posted 2007-07-07 5:46 PM (#314174 - in reply to #314172) Subject: Re: Wanted - Viper III Joined: July 2007 Posts: 2 Location: Central Texas Do you think the 3rd pickup in the Viper III is that much more worthwhile than the 2 pickups in the 'regular' Viper?
