| Hi,
I've got an EXTREMELY clean, very early EA68 for sale. According to the serial number, it was built in the early part of 1994 - the year this model was introduced.
The original molded 9160 case (w/ logo) does show a few cosmetic signs of wear, but is in perfect structural condition.
I'm asking $975 - shipped and insured. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Location: Tennessee | Very nice. I have one very much like it (currently on loan to a friend of Kimby-D's who has a shoulder affliction and cannot get her arm around her (ahem) Taylor dread, so for the time being she's playing a Viper every Thursday and Sunday). It's a plug in situation and EVERYbody commented on how good it sounded vs. the other guitar before. ;) This reminds me that I miss it.
In the first and second pictures, how much of the top is figuring vs. some sort of reflection? Those shots sure do make it look very purdy. Good luck with the sale ... that's a good one. |

| Hi,
Thanks for the compliments on the guitar - they really are unique instruments.
To answer your question - the figuring in the wood is 100% in the top. I was really surprised when I first opened the case, I've never seen one that had this much "depth" to wood. And when the light hits it (like it does in the first and second pictures), it brings out an almost glowing quality. Quite cool actually. |

| What a beautiful instrument. I've seen a few celebrity vipers, but not many of the usa models.
(Argghhh...now I'm actually considering getting a small loan.. :D ) |

Location: Chehalis, Washington | Do it Steve - these EA68's are well worth it. It's truly it's own animal, and an excellent stage instrument. One of these days I'm going to pick up another one and try to mate it with a single electric pickup too - maybe a Filtertron or something. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | The Vipers are ideal gigging guitars, although the chambered mahogany bodies may feel a bit heavy to the pure acoustic player. For the electric player, they feel just right. |
