If that's a modified viper body, where's the tummy cut?

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.

It's all stock before somebody took the power saw to it. When the switch is forward there is no tummy cut. Both black and white pickguards were used.

"... someone reshaped the body for a more angular look ..." YA THINK ???

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

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?)

Considering I have an unused NOS viper body staring me in the face, I might keep a watch on this one and see if I can make a cheap grab.

Go Stephen

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

Photographic proof that power tools and cold medications should not be mixed . . . .

This should be a crime what someone did to this Viper. They took this Ovation to a new realm of ugly. It is even past MOB ugly, and that is saying something. Horrible, just horrible. :eek:

I don't think they cut the body - just made a new one.

Would have figured on some different lines myself.

Look who bought it ... some cat named Homme. Soon, cut up Vipers like this one will be fetching $2200 on eBay. :)
