Location: Tennessee | Here's a pic of my all mahogany Viper ... but it's definitely not for sale or trade. Sorry about that. It has a one pice mahogany body, mahogany neck and ebony fretboard. I bought it about 10 years ago and I had it refinished by the factory a year or so ago ... so lots of reflections off the glassy finish. I have no scale so I have no idea what it weighs ... but it's heavier than my Strat but not quite as heavy as my Hamer.
I have only seen two other like this so I don't think there are too many of these out there, but it would worth the wait to find one. |

Location: Maryland, USA | I know mine's made of mahogony, it just has the finish. However, the neck of mine is NOT made of mahogony. I know that for sure ^_^.
Still haven't weighed it yet, I'll try to do that when I have some time. |

| Yes, that was the final price. The seller was very friendly and we hat a good contact before bidding. I trusted him so I bought the guitar, which seems to look like new. He is the first owner......
I have a good feeling, that the guitar will be at my place when I am back from vacation! I'm glad that you were leary (whatever that means, hihi) |

| Thanks for the english lesson! NOW I have found a translation! In german it means "misstrauisch"......just to let you know, hihi..
switzerland is so far away...Last year I spent 5 weeks in the states with my family. Your country is so fantastic. All these parcs (Yosemity, Arches, Grand Canion etc.), San Diego, LA....and the worst of all....Las Vegas....heh heh |
