Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Looks similar to Fender's Sea Foam Green. I had to decide between this color and Ice Blue Metallic on a '62 RI Jaguar a few years ago. I chose the Ice Blue, but it was close. |

Now all y'need to do is take some pieces of an old ebony fingerboard, "pulse" 'em in the Cuisinart (preferrably when the wife is out) a few times, and randomly epoxy the "chips" onto the body . . . .
(oh, and a Ben&Jerry's TRC) |

I like it, nice change up...The viper shape is very versital and has so many looks that work.
What is the paint/finish? Something fancy? I'm curious since I picked up the UKII body from Miles and it also needs a paint job..

Tal,
Umm, Krylon 3475, Tidepool...
It might not be tough enough but you should have seen this hulk before I got it. The neck is from the White Breadwinner I recently aquired.
I really like the tone with white and chrome. |

I like that colour.
I reckon that chopped down Deacon body I am going to send you would look good that colour.

Sweden, home of Volvo, Abba, the Muppets' chef, a large turnip-like vegetable and very wacky-looking guitars. |

I recently painted all the halls in a whole apartment building that color...
When the Little Ol' Ladies asked what color that was we told them 'Cool Mint',
but I didn't know about the 'Sea Foam Green'...
Amongst ourselves we referred to it as Slime Green! :p (or Jail Green)
I looks better on a Guitar than it does in a hallway. |

The last is Koa VXT Wannabe, Celebready, Surf-n-Viper, AJ's latest Viper and the Artist LX.
It was a good day. |

Location: Upper Left USA | The Ovation screws are smaller diameter and break off too easily so I use the Fender/Gibson size which are readily available. |
