Overview

Build your custom Viper by configuring the available options.

Important: purchasing this item constitutes a non-refundable deposit or final payment on a special order instrument that is not in our current stock.

Allow a minimum of 24 months for delivery. Due to demand and a large backlog of custom orders, Vipers can take more than 2 years to build and deliver. There is currently no guaranteed delivery window.

Note on new finish options: In order to reduce the build time on custom Viper orders, Wood Violins is requesting, whenever possible, that new customers choose from the available color and finish options listed in drop-down menu 2.), above.

As always, they will build any Viper that you can imagine. That said, custom finishes other than those listed above will increase the lead time and cost of your Viper. The more elaborate your Viper's color and/or finish is, the longer the wait time will be. Prices for any colors and finishes not listed in the Custom Viper Builder will now be quoted on an individual basis.

Note: all finishes are hand-applied, so some variation in color will occur.

The basic finish option for the Viper violin is a hand-rubbed natural color transparent satin finish over the unfigured poplar of the body.

  • Single-color painted and transparent finishes are considered a STANDARD custom finish.
  • Metal flake, metallic, and pearlized/pearlescent colors, which are usually opaque. (i.e, no visible wood grain) are considered a DELUXE custom finish.
  • All wood veneer "exotic top" finishes, such as quilted maple, tiger maple, etc. are considered a DELUXE custom finish.
  • Exotic-top finishes are available in transparent colored stains that show the figure of the wood, with an ultra high-gloss clear coat to protect the finish.

All Viper violins come with a custom TKL gig bag. The base Viper comes with the Wood Violins house bridge, a no-cost option. For an additional charge, you can upgrade your four or five-string Viper to a Barbera bridge. Six string Vipers are only available with the Barbera Twin Hybrid bridge, while the only seven-string bridge option is the Barbera Twin Solid.

Choose between a fretless or fretted fingerboard. Fretless provides the familiar feel of a traditional violin, whereas frets help greatly with intonation when playing in high-volume performance settings (rock bands, etc.) where hearing yourself well can be difficult. Frets also provide a visual and tactile reference for the fingerboard and allow you use familiar finger patterns in any key without relying on traditional positional shifting.
