Location: The Great Pacific Northwest		I have several guitars for sale from my collection. I only accept PayPal. All guitars listed below included FREE shipping within the Continental USA.

First up, these two have almost no wear. More "shop" wear than anything else. Spent most of their lives in storage.

- One-Off Urelite Viper III Custom Black'n Gold, includes hard case. Gold Preacher Deluxe pickups with series/parallel switches. Lyrachord is the material used to make the UKII's and Bluebirds. ($850) - Free Shipping within the Continental USA



- One-Off Urelite Viper in Dark Sunburst. Again, the same material used to make the UKII and Bluebirds. Viper pickups. ($750) - Free Shipping within the Continental USA



Now for some Hard Body action...
I believe these are THE most under-rated guitars had to offer. They look great and play great. The hardware alone is worth more than I am asking for the guitars. Schaller or Kahler bridges. DiMarzio Pickups, Schaller tuners... and that gorgeous routing around body. These are all in great condition. Some have minor finish defects such as blemishes or surface cracks, but only minor and only on the backs or other placed where they aren't visible. Good players.

- Red Ultra GS-3 w/Fulcrum Tremolo, comes with hard case. ($375) - Free Shipping within the Continental USA



- White Ultra GS-3 w/Fulcrum Tremolo, comes with hard case. ($375) - Free Shipping within the Continental USA




- White Ultra GS-2 w/Kahler Tremolo, comes with hard case. ($375) - Free Shipping within the Continental USA



And now some Applause. These are making somewhat of a resurgence as people are finding out they were actually pretty nice guitars.

- Applause S-S-H w/ Floyd Rose style tremolo. This one is in excellent shape. It's been used but not abused. $200 - Free Shipping within the Continental USA



And lets not forget the Kaman GTX guitars. A little more wear than the above guitars, but great players.. Light and fast.

- GTX 23 ($250) - Free Shipping within the Continental USA




- GTX 33 ($250) - Free Shipping within the Continental USA



Finally...
I have TWO Ovation Hard Shell Cases.. You know I used to think OHSC stood for "Ovation Hard Shell Case" and wondered why other brand guitars were advertised with OHSC cases... Both cases are in good shape with no major damages just the normal scuffs and such from cases this old. All hardware and handles are intact and in good working order.

- Ovation Brown Breadwinner / Deacon case. (it's missing one of the "feet") ($100) - Free Shipping within the Continental USA

- Ovation Brown Viper/Preacher Case ($100) - Free Shipping within the Continental USA

Why would you take painting tips from Kim when we have OMA around?

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest		Just an update... I verified that this guitar (the Viper III) is indeed one of only TWO that were made like this.

Note that the outline of the body is that of a UKII, but it is not an arched top. The other one had a white pickguard.

Twang Yes! Viper pups are really superb single-coils, and anyone who has played a UKII knows the appeal of a Urelite body. It just arrived, I haven't restrung it, nor tweaked the setup to my preferences yet, but, at first blush, it's already pretty special. Imagine a Viper with improved sustain that weighs a couple of pounds less than a standard wood-bodied Viper. Wow!

Thanks Miles!

Somebody else needs to buy the other Urelite guitar from Miles soon, or that one might decide to move to Texas also… ;)

Location: Texas		Congratulations Vadim, and thanks for removing the temptation. ;)

How long will it take to get to you? I heard it's been below freezing in Moscow lately, so you may need to let the unopened box sit indoors for 24-48 hours to let it gradually acclimate, just to be safe. (You probably already know that, considering your location, but if not, you can find many discussions on that subject with a search of the board.)

Even though it's not a wood body, I would think that sudden temperature changes could still potentially cause finish cracks, etc. No sense risking it... You are getting a very unique and special guitar, enjoy it!

Got it yesterday. It took only 13 days to deliver it here. I think the courier service called me the day after they got it so it pretty much acclimated to the current temperature which was around 68 degrees Fahrenheit scale.

It's so light and has an incredible sustain - just like you described yours!
