Would some of you please contact the person selling this Viper on eBay about the non-original knobs.
The description states "Everything is original."
The knobs are not.
I've tried to point this out but with no avail.
Even sent him links of what they should look like.

I've been burnt on eBay and would not that to happen to anybody else.

Paul,
The knobs were original but the Pots had been swapped out.

Glad to see your awake!

His posting has been updated. All is cool. Know what? I think I like those knobs on that guitar better than the originals.

He's had this listed on and off for a couple of months, at or near the same too-high starting price. I emailed him twice about the knobs, he said he still wasn't sure and hasn't changed his oft-repeated listing until now.

Don't mess with the OFC, eh?

Are we like the black ops of the Ovation world?

Yeah... You's the guys that email sellers to tell them the complete history of their guitar...
Then don't buy it! :mad:
