A week ago this beauty came to my doorstep. Huge thanks to Miles from OFC. This first photo of the headstock was so seducing that I couldn't resist.
Introducing a NOS 70s custom Ovation Viper III with number of features in other Ovation electrics from that period.
There were only two of them made by Ovation, the other one had the white pickguard. Both of them were in Bill Kaman's personal collection.
Now for the features:
1) 24-fret Viper neck
2) UK-II shaped Urelite body (giving great sustain and light to boot)
3) Preacher passive humbucking pickups
4) Series/Parallel switches usually found on UK-II (series wiring gives the humbucking mode while the parallel one - single-coil mode).
5) Brass nut and bridge
6) Gold plated machines and pickups covers
This baby is so comfortable to play that I might consider selling my regular Viper right here which might prove useful in my quest for S-100.
