Cleaned Up My Viper-50 back in 2005
This was the First Guitar I bought with my own money way back in 05 to replace my first guitar, a Carlo Robelli. A temporary storage solution became a long term not good one. I pulled the whole thing down last night and cleaned it. Went as far as oiling the fret board. The intention is to replace the saddle and stop tail, the tuners and to put new Zakk Wylde EMGs in it to replace the ones that I put in it shortly after buying. But all that is if the guitar holds together under string tension. At the moment its holding together fine under the set up I did last night with NYXL 10s. I always strung it up with 10s, so fingers crossed.
This thing carried me for a long time, and since I gotten back into guitar in December Ive been wanting to do this. Hopefully it sticks around for another 20 years.
