Good thing that most on those here usually have the OFC and Fleabay open at the same time! |

It might cost a little more than the ebay ones but you will usually be getting a near mint to pristine conditioned viper/viper III.
oh yeah.....and most importantly, from someone who has a reputation that you can trust. |

Location: Upper Left USA | Well I had a great weekend! Escape with SWMGA (She Who Must Get Away), Preacher Deluxe parts are back, package of Walnut for TRCs is in and I won the bibbing on the Viper body that started this trash-talk-wish-I-had-a-Slothead-too post! :D
Now have a Viper body, Breadwinner neck, Korean seymour duncan pups and a drawer full of tools!
Chatman - can I have my soldering license back - on parole of course? |

Did the seller end the bibbing early and forget to end the auction? |

I did win a Viper body this weekend and I jumped the connection on that one. We'll see what happens on this one. I don't have a lot of love or trust in this auction. If it had a case I'd go $150 and throw the dice. |

Chatman - can I have my soldering license back - on parole of course? I'm willing to consider a provisional license with the following dcaveats: no soldering at night and the iron can only be plugged in while accompanied by a responsible second party.
Oh yeah, and write this on the board 100 times:
"Bigger gob does not equal better job"
One last pointer Woody-man, soldering is merely one more manifestation of the karmic balance in the universe. Become one with your preamp. Feel the flow of the force as you approach your circuit. Then, before you begin, get yourself in tune with your surroundings by remembering the solderers mantra:
Heat on
Heat off
Heat on
Heat off
Heat on
Heat off |

Location: Linn Creek, Missouri | I'm new to the board and I'm the guy what bought the Viper. It is much, MUCH better looking than the picture represents. Only a couple of dings on the body and of course the neck break but it was repair incredibly well.
I am lookng for a bridge pickup and pickguard to bring it back to original.
It plays incredibly. I only cleaned it up, changed strings and reset intonation.
Any help locating a pup and guard will be appreciated. |

I was in second place on that one I think (fishgiven). If you can't find a stock P/g take a look in my gallery and see if you can live with a "different" replacement. The parts are getting harder to replace, for sure. |

Location: Bluffton, SC | jef5f - On the left side of your screen shoul be a strip of links, one of which is member access. Follow that link and you will be able to access Woody's gallery. Take a while and check out some of the others' stables as well - some incredible guitars to be sure. Warning: GAS will be unavoidable. By the way, welcome aboard!
(Side note - depending on how you come into this page, you may not see the links on the left. If you don't now, click on the OFC link below. Then you should see them come up.) |
