Location: Herts, England | Hello,
I'm new to this board - greetings from Hertfordshire.
I'm looking for an Ovation Viper solidbody electric, 2 pick up model. And just to make life easier, it has to be a white one! I've seen a couple of Vipers on ebay recently and they went for around 350GBP (sorry, no idea how may dollars that is) so I'd be prepared to pay the about the same - or, if you'd rather, trade for my Gordon Smith Gypsy, customised with Gibson P94's (red sunburst)which has a roughly equivalent secondhand value.
Would really help if it was in the UK too(that way I don't get stuck for the import duty)But I'd welcome any replies from US aswell.
Cheers,
Jim |

Jim, you might remember seeing Jeff... he would have been the one 'commuting' - probably wearing an old coat, hunkered down in the back of a truckload of goats... |

Come to think of it.... there was a Pub in Berkhamsted called the Goat or Goat's Inn on High street, I think... |

Location: Upper Left USA | First of all, I do not have any livestock!
The current project in the "Work Shop of Horrors" is a Viper body with a Breadwinner neck (for now) and Humbuckers. I want to try out this Black Ice thingy out. The Pickguard will be made using a wood veneer to be decided later.
I have mercilessly take a rasp to this body and plagarized the "Fat forearm" cut and "california-cut" around the bottom edges. The Humbuckers are a pair of Seymour Designed (Korea) gold pups. I don't have a neck plate for it yet so I think I'll go over and get a chunk of HY80 pressure hull from the exSSN Parche. Throw on a set of heavy strings starting with a .070 Low "E" ("A") and I will have a sub-baritone to rattle with my Papoose ("A" scale). |

So anyone out there got a white Viper (stock!)??? |
