We are deeply saddened by the passing of Viper artist Lloyd Wallace “Dr Scary”. Lloyd was with us from the very beginning and became a really great friend. He was a very talented musician and poured his heart and soul into music. We are forever grateful for our time we spent with him. His legacy will live on as an important part of the Viper family.

Shipped this custom 7 string to one of our best customers, David Carroll. Finished in neon pink, yellow, and orange and fitted with Bare Knuckle Steve Stevens ray gun pickups, Graphtech ratio tuners, fixed bridge, and has an Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork pedal built into the controls of the guitar. The pitch shift effects that this guitar can produce is really wild. So fun to play. Volume, pickup selector, and kill switch round out all of the controls. It’s hard to see but the yellow inlays in the guitar match the ray gun engraving on the pickups. Another example of the very customized builds that we can produce at Viper Guitars.
