Hi Everyone, I have an Ovation Viper but not sure what year or model? It looks a lot like a 1271 or 1273 but not identical to either one. Who can clue me in on what I have?

Thanks.

Sub Sailor?

You have an early Viper in a nice shade of White/Yellow with original bridge, body, neck, knobs and Pick guard.

You do not have the original pickups and it looks like it was rewired to phase in/out the pickups.

Why no strings?

I took off the strings to clean it. I have to get some new ones. Thanks for the input, that's good to know about the pick ups. Really appreciate it!

Ok, you're probably right. I was thinking one or the other. Thanks!
