Ovation Viper

This is my main performing acoustic. It was made in 1992, and has a solid mahogany body, so acoustically, it is more like an electric than acoustic. It is extremely comfortable to play too, much more so than normal acoustics. I send this through one of my normal pedalboards and add an Aphex Acoustic Xciter pedal to add lower harmonics.

I bought this on Ebay and it was in rough shape. The gloss black paint had huge deep scratches, and there was glue all over the binding and tuners. I sent it to Ovation and I requested a textured finish all over the body and they did a wonderful job cleaning it up and painting it. I added Sperzel flat black locking tuners to go with the industrial vibe, and it is the only one like it in the world.
