Location: Massachusetts | Hi all,
First off, I sold Jim E a fairly pristine (that doesn't really make sense - slightly pregnant?) cobalt blue Millenium about 6 months ago and he was very happy with it. Just saying this since I'm mostly a lurker here and I don't want anyone to be wary since I'm not a heavy poster.
Anyway, here's a really nice white (really off-white/cream) Viper serial E 8906. I think the control layout is a bit more uncommon on this one - I think it's an earlier version but you guys know better than I.
Condition is really nice, it has some finish checking in the form of a couple of lines that go from the bridge to the bottom of the guitar. I'm not sure if these will show up in the pics. Some slight buckle scratching on the back. Slight fret wear and a little ding on the edge of the headstock near the low E tuner. I dabbed a little cream paint on it - you can see this in the pics. You can also see a slight 3/8" wear line on the headstock above the Ovation logo. It plays, looks and sounds gorgeous. The aged cream color is very appealing. I've enjoyed this guitar a great deal (home use only). I take fastidious care of my guitars and someone will be very happy with this one. Not sure what else to say so ask any questions or request additional pics - I'm happy to oblige. My email address is keenan58@aol.com. $675.00. Thanks, Bob.
Forgot to mention - the original case is in really great shape. Has some wear and slight rusting but I'm guessing it's in above average condition.

Location: So Cal | That is a nice Viper Bob. Generally you don't see these often in this state of condition. I have one in sunburst. Solid maple body, neck and fret board. This one looks great with the ebony. Bob K is a great guy to buy from. The Millennium was better than Bob described so, yes I was very happy.
