Location: Chehalis, Washington | Seriously - I was surprised this one went for as much as it did, especially with the Ovation market kind of soft right now. Just shows how much appreciation is starting to get generated for these Ovation solids.
Of course, most people I talk to don't even know Ovation made electrics...got to get out more. |

Location: GA USA | Wow. I would have bet money that that Viper would have gone for less than $500. But it does have some of the prettiest wood I've seen on a natural. |

Location: Midland, MI | The Viper in the auction was nice looking (from the few pictures I looked at), and Bluebirds highly figured example is outstanding. I just couldn't bond with the Viper I had, though I did like the tones it produced. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | The Viper III models seem to go for a few hundred more than the more common two-pup models, and condition, of course, can impact the sale price considerably. |

Location: Chehalis, Washington | That being true, what's to stop someone from taking a Viper I and routing out a third pickup slot and selling it as a Viper III?
(oops, did I give something away?) |

Record price for a Viper?
