Location: Las Cruces, NM | The bridge, neck, pickups etc appear to be Viper, the pickgaurd has the right looking Viper name and switch layout but the stock ones are black on a white layer, the body might be a fabrication, but that seems like a lot of work for a person who would defile a good Viper, I think it is a Viper body cut up the tummy cutout may have been cut off with the rest. I prefer the original unmodified Viper.

They require trigger locks on handguns in the house. Might be time to require the same for the power tools. |

Location: Avondale AZ | I saw this and thought what a shame. Then I realised it must have been done by a non-guitar player, because once you have played a Viper you would never mutalate it. It must have been done by a sick minded, non-guitar playing, no talented, artist wanna-be, fool (can you feel my despise for this?)

If you can get it cheap, you will have a bunch of good parts. Assembled, you will have resurrected a Viper. |

Would have figured on some different lines myself. |
