Hoping everyone here is safe & well....I am thinking seriously about selling my excellent shape Ovation EA687 LTD book Viper. I thought I would check here first to see if anyone was interested. COVID & out of werk is hurting me :-( Not sure what to ask. Thinking $3500?..if anyone would like to inquire & make an offer..please e-mail me.

Hope you get that price. I’ve got one to sell as well, and a book bass and long neck. But, you first.

What do you think is a fair price? I know they sold for $3k @ the time. It would seem to me they would be worth more now..No? I want to be reasonable :-)Thanx in advance for your input!

Dan, I' ve got one of these! Got it cheap with an installed Roland Midi-System and played..... It's, beside of my selfbuild Viper, the most played guitar in my stable. I can't believe, nobody is going for this one. They are ssssooooooo nice!!!!!! and absolutely great to play!

They are very rare as well. Does anybody know how may were made? I've only found three in the OFC family?

I think there were around 10 "sets" made which consisted of all 5 models and then quite a few more 6-strings, a a hand full each of the others. The bass and 12-string were the smallest runs, if I recall correctly.

Dave, I could be wrong, but I think the complete sets were more than five models:

6-string, 12-string, Longneck, Bass, Mandolin, Mandocello, Viper... And I think there is still one or two models missing.

We had a photo posted here of one of those sets way back...

Best regards, Kurt

Yes you are correct. Around 7 models.

OK....please help me out. Why are these so much better than the traditional Vipers? For example, I own a Tamo Ash Viper and it's very nice. Is the "book" viper better for some reason? Or just more valuable because it's rare?

I don't think the Book Viper is any "better" per se, but the allure of having matched guitars of the set makes it very sought after.
