It started as a two piece Maple Viper III body with an excess of routing (not me).

Koa Top, Asymetric carved Hard Maple Neck, new Gold Bridge and Humbuckers, Tuners from Tuppy, new hard case.

Scale is 25 1/2" with a 1 7/8" Nut but I used a string spacing that puts the string a bit closer in as well as the pairs being closer.

Great action, much sustain from the solid body mass and it don't look so bad in my opinion.

The case is new, I bought 4 of them at Music 123 when they were discounting shipping and stuff ($49 for a $100 case and free shipping).

I am into this one for $375 minimum trade value.

Waddya got?

Man, that is one sweet looking guitar. I don't play 12 string, but if I did I'd own this by now.

I love it!

Any interest in a Oahu Lap Steel? How's about a heavily used (abused?) Tornado with Epiphone Neck? A solid body viper that needs (at least) a new pick guard? A 1618 with finish cracks?

Cash?
