Plays perfect. Zero fret wear. Zero defects except for one of the latches on the case.

You know they are the real deal when Glen Campbell decided to make it his main Ovation gig guitar a few years back. Good luck with the sale. Great guitar at a great price. |

Location: Jet City | Thanks all. It is a marvelous guitar. I wish I could keep it but I had to make the tou gh choice.
As for the finish, I bought it preowned so I don't know if it was ordered special.
I'll hafta get back on the serial as I'm sitting in traffic in a snow storm on the way to Pullman, WA. It's dads weekend at WSU. Friggin 5 hour drive. Get to go watch the Cougs lose tomorrow in person. |

Here is a pic of my EA68-7LTD. I'd be very tempted to grab yours since i love chambered body Vipers, but povation is very fast ;)

Location: Jet City | The top of my book and the top of the viper are the same color regardless of if it's called a -7 or a -4.
I've had several -4s and this is a different color than any -4 I've ever had. More amberish or antiquish if you will. |

At the same time i bought the nylon EA63 from Miles, which has no S/N and a wider flat neck (2 inches) than the regular EA63, i love her.
Have a look to my linked Ning page, i recently added pics of both guts and steel Vipers. |

Location: Nîmes, south of France | Dan, i believe they were no more than 20 "book" Vipers built.
Mine is not for sale at the present time, i love her brilliant sustained sound.
You can hear that EA68 through my Ning page, in the "Music" area located on the left corner.
"Medley for Marcel" and "song for Merle" are played with the EA68, the fat sustained sound of 'Pu Uana Hulu" is the one of the EA63.
BTW, Prof and Dan, if i decide to sell her one day, i shall contact you before placing any AD on the internet.
All the best, |
