Location: Upper Left USA		You all know the sad story, I need to sell something to up my Ovation fund.

Offered is a customized Viper done in a gold motif.

The Body is Ash with some modified angles and finished in pure Tung Oil. There is a "Fat Arm" cut on the front and back upper bout as well as a generous smoothing of the top edge.

Hardware is Gold. Tuners are Gold with Pearloid buttons. The peghead was "virgin" so there are no covered screw holes and you get an upgrade on the old plastic tuners. Schaller one-piece bridge, gold output, Dunlop Strap loc pins and gold PG Screws complete the accents.

Pups are gold Seymour Duncan designed HB 103's routed through 500K pots and a "Blender" switch to mix the neck and bridge inputs. There is some visible wear on the Humbuckers face but not through the plate. These pups give a strong and clean signal up to half volume - then they growl a little!

Knobs, Pickguard and TRC are custom Woody's in Flamed Koa Veneer and (the knobs) solid Koa with abalone accents.

The Neck is extraordinary! It is a figured Maple with the best grain I have ever seen on a neck. Once again pure Tung Oil for the neck. The fretboard is a beautiful Ebony with a swirl of golden brown waving down it. The FB was recently leveled and refretted by Luthier John Thayer. It should provide another 30 years of playing!

I manufactured the Neck Plate out of Aircraft grade Aluminum and the guitar does not bare the Ovation Logo. I do not have a hard case for it but it will be shipped with a Gig Bag and well packed.

Email or PM me and I will send pictures.

I am asking $585 which includes shipping in the 48 semi-normal States. Let me know how I can serve you!

If still available I will bring this to the NW OFC on August 19th so that others can tell you how much I suck as a Salesman. I just put the guitar in their lap!

Location: SoCal		That's my problem...as I believe I have his first masterpiece.

However, if no one appreciates it, Michael and I may work out a deal. His first Viper may need a sister. Too bad it didn't have a 12-string neck. Then it would already be shipped to San Diego.

Location: Upper Left USA		Blame it on the factory Tony! I grabbed their last NOS neck a couple of years ago.

I need to make a long overdue trek to Mile's house to rifle through his inventory of necks. If I went now I'd arrive broke vs. coming home broke but with my arms full!

Location: Upper Left USA		The auction was deleted by Ebay because I keyworded Fender in the title and I referenced the OFC in a link.

No warning.

Deleted.

I hope they will get this tough on the real troublemakers out there.

They did that to me once too when I was selling a Takamine with a "Martin style headstock". Funny thing is that they didn't delete the four before that.

Location: Upper Left USA		Ok, $595 which includes an Ovation semi hard shell case (thanks Seesquare!) which protects it but is for a New wave Viper.

Shipped in the USA/48 or to Filhixx's.

I will be relisting on Ebay soon.

PM any of the NW OFC'er's for an honest opinion.

Location: Upper Left USA		Sold via Ebay to a Verified Paypal account!

Also a warning - in todays emails was a phishing message to update my Paypal account.

It left some cookies... when I clicked to check I was sent to ...w.paypal.us.com which is the scammer site.

Be aware!
