The one shot that looks like a chunk out of the side must have been mostly a reflection cause it wasn't on the Viper that I received (just a nick the size of the edge of a dime and about a 1/2" long). http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3775178267 | ||

Joined: February 2003 Posts: 2177 Location: the BIG Metropolis of TR | I found this picture of a NEW model Viper where the owner has removed the black bowl paint to reveal a beautiful bookmatched solid mahogany back.... ...I think Ovation should offer a natural back Viper as an option! (seems such a shame to paint over such beautiful wood...I'd strip my Viper if I thought I could "do it" as good as the one in the pic. ;) ) | ||

If I had to choose between keepiing my Viper or my Viper 3, I would keep the 3 because it performs all the fundctions of the regular Viper plus has the middle pup to add additional flavor. The 3 switches control each pickup in either an on or off position, so you have total control over which pickups are kicked in. You can run all three, 1/2, 2/3, 1/3, 1,2,3 alone, etc. The one downside, would be in a live situation. It would be possible to turn all the switches off by accident and lose all sound. The one I grabbed with a BIN was a fluke...really good price and the sunburst VIper 3 I got about a year ago sold on eBay for about $475. I would think the one currently on eBay should go for about $600 - $650 and if that is in the budget, then most definately grab it. Stephen | ||
