[choice of bridge, neck or both pickups.] The neck pickup was set at an angle It had a large pickguard, which included these controls, and earlier models had the name Viper engraved on it." Doesn't really matter honestly. I bought it not knowing it's vintage. I see why the switch was moved though. I keep knocking it.

I keep seeing Viper's, and I keep considering putting a Snipe in on one! Then I look at the solid-body Washburn sitting on the stand that I rarely play... Eventually I will get one... Just like that one I hope!

Difficult to tell from the photos [great photos] but the body does look to be slab, as a tele, rather than later one that were more contoured, as a strat. I also thought that it was the earlier guards had the name. Any way, whatever, it's a beaut of a guitar in great condition. Plays as well as it looks. Great aquisition.
