Location: Nashville, TN | What do you think is a fair price? I know they sold for $3k @ the time. It would seem to me they would be worth more now..No? I want to be reasonable :-)Thanx in advance for your input! |

Location: Germany, where delicious wine is growing (Rheinh) | Dan, I' ve got one of these! Got it cheap with an installed Roland Midi-System and played..... It's, beside of my selfbuild Viper, the most played guitar in my stable. I can't believe, nobody is going for this one. They are ssssooooooo nice!!!!!! and absolutely great to play!

Location: Phoenix AZ | I think there were around 10 "sets" made which consisted of all 5 models and then quite a few more 6-strings, a a hand full each of the others. The bass and 12-string were the smallest runs, if I recall correctly. |

Location: Munich, Germany | Dave, I could be wrong, but I think the complete sets were more than five models:
6-string, 12-string, Longneck, Bass, Mandolin, Mandocello, Viper... And I think there is still one or two models missing.
We had a photo posted here of one of those sets way back...
Best regards, Kurt

Yes you are correct. Around 7 models. |

Location: Louisville, OH 44641 | OK....please help me out. Why are these so much better than the traditional Vipers? For example, I own a Tamo Ash Viper and it's very nice. Is the "book" viper better for some reason? Or just more valuable because it's rare? |
