Location: CT | This thing is gorgeous. He has a black one too that's also in nice shape. Is the price a little steep for a guitar in this condition? or about right? I'm broke anyway, but it's nice to dream.

Listed in StephenT28's 'for sale' section in his gallery for $650 + shipping.

I need to update that since the Viper III has actually been sold to a very happy OFC camper.
and Paul beat me to the punch....yes, it was actually Maple. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | That is the most interesting maple I've ever seen! It looks identical to the grain in my natural ash Viper III and five other ash guitars in my humble stash. Maple usually tends to have a wider grain and is less pronounced and vivid than oak. |

'Legion' might be a bit strong... but you're welcome! |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Nope, actually sold all the vipers.
I really wanted to keep one but the offer came in so off it went. I still have my original ASAT that is very similar in sound.
Ovation solids.... I still have my matching 6 string limited/12 string Deacon but I have sadly sold off the rest. They are really great guitars and I hated to part with them but other needs were calling. |

Location: PDX | Miles may still have a Viper III for sale. I know there was at least one of them in his inventory he was selling at one time, as well as a bunch of Vipers.

well then -- how about that. Those 1-7/8 necks are just a bit too big for me. The 1-3/4 is just right, and the 1-11/16 works fine.
Besides, don't you have enough of my money already :)
Cheers!
