The famous Wood Violins Viper is back and better than ever. The Artisan Top series adds a touch of visual intrigue to the already eye-catching Viper, with three alluring figured wood finishes to choose from.

Visually, its raucous flying V shape speaks for itself, but this is no case of form over function. The Viper's wings envelope you, while its adjustable shoulder strap and support arm system hold the instrument, leaving you hands free to dance, jump about, play keys, or rock the mic.

 

Finish Options

These gorgeous Vipers feature beautifully figured wood veneer tops that will inspire you each time you open your case. Choose between the princely Purple Quilt with black hardware, or the deep azure Caribbean Blue Quilt with silver hardware.

*Please allow for some small variance in the wood figure and coloration of these special quilt top finishes.

 

Fingerboard Options

Your Viper fingerboard can be configured fretless, fretted, or with Phantom fretted. If you prefer the classical feel, go fretless at no additional cost.

Frets are intended to help ensure that violinists playing in loud environments (e.g. rock band with guitar and drums) can play in tune even when they can’t hear themselves particularly well. Frets also give the fingerboard a visual component that some players find creatively helpful and also aid in transposing finger patterns into different keys.

Standard frets: Wood Violins standard frets are what we call “locator” frets, because they provide a visual and tactile means of locating a pitch on the fingerboard but, unlike guitar-style frets, they are somewhat flattened and do not “break” the string. Therefore, you place finger on top of the fret to play in tune. This clever design also means that vibrato and glissando are not inhibited by the raised fret. Mark Wood’s patented dot pattern aids in finding 5th, Octave, 12th and other important positions on the fretboard.

Phantom frets: Wood Violins’ Phantom frets are real frets that have been filed down even with the surface of the fingerboard to provide a visual means of locating a pitch on the fingerboard.  Mark Wood’s patented dot pattern aids in finding 5th, Octave, 12th and other important positions on the fretboard. For players who find the feel of raised frets unnatural but still want the visual aid for pitch location (or simply because frets look cool), then Phantom frets are a perfect compromise!

 

Pickup options

The Viper PRO comes standard equipped with a ForteVio Viper pickup, specially designed by ForteVio's Valentin Hristov to fit and sound great with the Viper! The ForteVio pickup combines rich, woody tone with balance and nuance across the full range of 4 to 7 strings, all backed by tremendous power that punches right through with any effects. The ForteVio is quickly becoming the new standard for electric violin pickups, known not only for its incredible sound but also its reliability.

Barbera pickups are available upon special request only, and will add to the cost and delivery time of your Viper.


Setup & Fittings

Viper comes set up with special Viper strings by Prim.

Equipped with premium Gotoh guitar-style machine tuners, color-matched to the finish (black tuners for Midnight Black finish; gold tuners for all other options).
