Location: Tennessee | Two major differences between Vipers and their Fender counterparts: 1) 24 fret neck vs. 21 or 22, and 2) the pickups are much hotter on the Viper. And then there is the newsprint and glue in the neck joint.
As far as the trem goes, I think trems were passe when the solid bodies were being made in CT. It was well after the surf guitar phase and then the Jimi stuff. Production in CT stopped before the 80's trem-mania took over. The Korean hard bodies generally had the whole floyd rose thing going.
