Location: japan | in the late of January this year, I special ordered a guitar viper with my own color.
They said it will be delivered to japan whthin the late May.
and today I saw a 2007 collector edition of Ovation. I am fascinated in the color of neck and nut. I called my seller and asked if i can change the color of neck and nut following the new model. He said he'll let me know tomorrow.
May I ask what you, folks think about this?
Do you think i can't change the color of them or not? I wonder what kind of process of the production is at this moment and i am afraid it will be regretted if i can't change the color... |

Location: Phoenix AZ | As far as I know the 2007 Collector has a 2-piece maple neck with AEN neck attachment. This is a very different configuration than a Viper. I'm sure it's technically possible to build a Viper neck in 2-piece maple, but how much it costs and if the factory is willing to do it or not I think can only be answered by your dealer. Dave |

Location: japan | Tupperware //Thanks for your mentioning. However, regardless the configuration, I asked to change the color only. Is it hard to change it?
and may I ask what AEN is? |

Location: Phoenix AZ | AEN is something here at work (Advanced Engineerng Nucklehead), so get easily confused. And for the record, my typing skills are much better than my playing skills.
Java - The neck difference you are talking about is not just a different color of paint. The neck on your Viper is probably mahogany 5-piece. This new neck is maple 2-piece. That's a BIG change.

Location: Munich, Germany | Sorry guys, maybe I got something wrong.
But if jazzjava is talking about the 07 Collector's (Bearclaw Elite) neck - this is a standard five piece LX neck in mahogany/maple with small center stripes.
The only difference I see to the Viper neck is the smaller width of the stripes and the black headstock instead of walnut - and the black nut.

EDIT: If jazzjava is talking about a CV68 Viper (Celebrity Series), than there is more of a difference: Missing Stripes, two piece neck with rosewood fingerboard. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Huh? Maybe I'm losing it. They have a 2007 bearclaw at my local and a I swore it was a two piece neck. I'm getting too old for this stuff ... |

Location: japan | once special and customized order, I may want what I want.
However, it would be ok if i can't change the color
because it is not the process of production.
But I feel sorry that i can't change the color even though it is possible.
I may call to dealer today again.
And my guitar would be EA63.
and I am fascinated the color of neck and nut of Model 2007-BCS
thanks folks for various opinion... |
