Viper Guitars: Fully Customizable and USA Made!

April 4, 2024 admin

When attending the NAMM convention, you always hope that you find a hidden gem among the face palm inducing bad ideas. This year, I was introduced to Viper Guitars and I’m shocked that I didn’t know about this before. Floyd Rose, 24 frets, Seymour Duncans, compound neck profile, and looks for days! This is exactly what I love in a shred guitar! This guitar I’m checking out today (borrowed) is called the Edge model and is fully customizable.

Wood pickup rings that match the neck, a graphite nut, an ash wood body, a roller bridge, and an electric cobalt blue finish… with matching headstock. There’s a lot of cool poured into this guitar. The part that really impresses me is the sustain though! The notes just never end. This is the Bootlegger Hounder. California based with manufacturing in South Korea. Let’s check this out!

The legendary Sunset Strip in West Hollywood. Home of the hair metal revolution and birthplace of so many bands that guitarists love… there are plenty of tours, but what better way to see it than from a vintage airplane! Myself and shred guitarist Ofer Holan climb into my 1946 Aeronca Chief and fly from Van Nuys to Hollywood to see if we can find the Whisky a Go-Go.

We’re in a multi-effects arms race! Is this the end? This is Hotone’s Ampero II Stage triple core effects processor… it can do guitar, bass, synth…. AND VOCAL processing! If you play and sing at the same time… what more do you need? And how does it compare to the other Hotone units, like the Ampero One or the Ampero MP-100?
