Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Ovation EA68 Viper, spruce top, custom natural medium honey finish, factory case. I have owned this guitar for about eight years and began collecting the EA Vipers because I love the sound and playability of chambered solid bodied guitars with piezo pickups. I eventually ended up with five of them, including a custom ordered from the factory. I bought it from an OFC member here but don’t recall who it was. I think it was he ordered the natural finish from the factory. This guitar is a real looker that doesn’t get played much, so it can go. The top looks like it just came from the factory with not a mark on it. Everything works as it should, and the guitar is in excellent condition. I can pm detailed photos and may post them here in the near future, but I find that process a bit cumbersome. Also, I’ve shipped out a few guitars lately and know the realistic costs of fragile packing, insuring and shipping guitars via UPS. Accordingly, I’ve figured shipping into the sale price so shipping will be free in CONUS. I’ll install a new set of EJ16s before shipping. $1,395 OBO. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Well, I saw the photos in the preview so I presumed they’d appear. So much for presumptions! |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Hi Dan. Going to keep just two vipers, a 6 and a 12, matching in orange flame. Incidentally, you looked good in your appearance on the Shania Twain broadcast. Nice work. |

Location: michigan | Viper arrived yesterday. Couldn't be happier with this purchase. As the professor stated, this looks like a brand new guitar. Had two great transactions with Brad. Now armed with an Adamas and this Viper for our acoustic project this summer. Thanks Brad for allowing me to aquire some amazing instruments. Take care |
