Vipers

Look Here on Ovation Tribute.

And Here

HERE are Dan Schafer's Vipers in an OFC Thread.
He has 12-strings, and Nylons, and regular Vipers.

That'll get you started.

Ovation does make them any longer...
And Fender sure won't.
There are only available on the Used market.

(I don't know if you can still custom order on for $5K, but I doubt it)

Not sure what Art's talking about. They are still made, but are Malmsteen signature models.

Cycling Dave mention the guitars with the "leaves" on them that Kevin Cronin played...

These Vipers were made in 2007, 2010 and 2010... respectively.
So they custom made these guitars within recent history.
(Those pics come from THIS article)

But the EA Vipers and the YM Vipers are different critters, at least to me.
So I had forgotten completely about them "f" hole things.... oops!
