How Did I Not Know About VIPER GUITARS?? (USA made and fully customizable!) 

Ok Folks... Take a Breath... Relax and Listen. Viper Guitars have US Made guitars IN STOCK starting at $1200! They are a US OWNED AND US MADE GUITAR COMPANY THAT DOES CUSTOM BUILDS! Every guitar they build doesn't cost as much as the one in this Video... So give Max a break already because they do make some VERY NICE MADE IN THE USA AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE! THANK YOU GUITAR MAX FOR LETTING US KNOW ABOUT THIS MANUFACTURER! ROCK ON MY BROTHER!

Of all the videos I've seen of you demoing guitars, this one feels like it matches your style perfectly. They need to give it to you to in order for them to make the universe a more perfect place.

Excellent feature. Great that you're highlighting the wide range of campanies out there. You're not just restricting your subscribers to just seeing budget guitars. Knowledge is power, as they say. Thanks for your great work researching this stuff.

Thanks Max for featuring this custom guitar! For the price handmade in the USA? That’s pretty awesome 😎 checked out the website and the pickup choices are top of the line. Thanks again bro keep shredding!

Now that's something I can get into. Great video as always Maxx. Hope you and the family are doing well. ☮️❤️🎸

I love that finish! The guitar rocks too.

BEEN WAITING FOR A VIPER VIDEO MAXX!!!! 🤯❤❤❤

Great find. Thank you for all your work.

Wow. Shocking good clean tones!

I'm already love your video Max, keep it up The Guitars Amazing Stuff 🤘

The burl top and finish are just beautiful! I'm really loving burl tops recently.

Stunning!!! ...and sounds great!

Hello good to see you show Viper you were at the show Did you not see my new DS 629 Fret shred machine and the picture on the wall with my first DS6 I’ve got four signature guitars with them. Glad to see you. Did the video on surprised you didn’t mention my name as an artist with them and you’re showing the other wonderful artist that are with the company as well but nice that you did the video.

What i like about this channel is finding new companies , affordable options,just cool stuff.....and Showing me more stuff i didn't know I needed 😂🙄. Keep up the work 💪💪🤘🤘

Great to see some attention on this SoCal local; and had no idea you were from SoCal as well. Great to meet you on the walk to NAMM 🤟😎

How have I never heard of this brand? That is a lot of specs for the money. And it is a beautiful guitar! You sure like your green guitars, Max!

Hey Max! It's Jody from SaMo and I've been loving the hell outta that Bootlegger guitar, it's a sweet one for sure, thanks again! Definitely like seeing these indy guitar companies competing with the big boys and this Viper looks amazing wow gotta love that matching headstock! You might see me out and about cruising around on my electric unicycle lol so just throw me some horns dude 🤘🤘

Jesus, that's a gorgeous guitar.

That guitar looks sick! Dang! Now to enjoy the video! 🍿🍿🍿🍿

Hey MAX. Good to see ya. You been lookin a little cheerier lately. Man, That Viper is beautiful and sounds phenom! I would so pay that price if I was in that bracket. Thanks for another great video, bud. Hey, you know what? The finish on that guitar reminds me of the Holoflash colors. Anyway..

Damn! I was sitting here listening to your demo while you’re gently plucking some clean tones, and suddenly KAPOW! You hit some power chords and I damn near crapped my pants (OK, Ok, I DID crap my pants). I’m 63… I’m allowed. What a crazy-cool rock machine. Almost makes me wish I was a shredder. I’ll just stick with my Strat and Tele, with the requisite boomer wah pedal. Great video!

That guitar is a beast . i will own one before I am 70 ..

That looks pretty much like my dream guitar, as I sit here drooling over it. I love that they do lefty guitars! Gonna check them out!

i have a few Viper Guitars they are amazing guitars and bass , Jeff is a master builder

I would go with a PRS STYLE guitar. Just love that access to the highest frets neck is amazing profile. And great action. Amazing tones.

It does look awesome 😲

Thanks for the info !

It is gorgeous!

Awesome Max🎸《☆》Excellent demo Brother👍🏾🎵🤳Nice features USA made I bet Kiesel has heard of Viper✌🏼😁☯️

Hey Max, probably one of the best sounding guitars I have heard on your channel In recent memory anyway. Absolutely love the tone and the visuals on this. I'm not a huge fan of traditional shapes I am a pointy guitar guy with about 14. But this guitar I would say might have one of the best pickup sets available especially if you're going to go passive. I do like EMGs obviously. I really like Seymour Duncan's Black Winter pickups and I love the invader! The invader might be my favorite rhythm guitar pickup and I love the SH-14 custom. That might be my favorite for lead/rhythm. Great video great guitar great sounds!!!♥️🔥 Keep up the good work. I know it's hard to make a long video but if you could make them a bit longer I think would be better they're a little bit too short That's my only complaint. Just trying to give you feedback😊 Thanks again my friend Good stuff!!!!!!🤘😎

How did I not know about viper guitars? that thing is sick dude! I want one, doing god's work my dude!

Dang Danzig, that is a wicked cool lookin' guitar!!! Thanks so much for keeping track of the obscure guitar companies we may never have heard of 👍 🤘

I got a quote from the owner a while back for my graduation present to myself. VERY REASONABLE and I'm gonna pull that trigger soon. I found out about Viper through one of their artists named Ronny North. Super nice guy

Been a long time Max how have you been?? Been a long time got to put you in my favorites again Daniel

Nice lookin’ guitar Max!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🎸🤘🏻🤘🏻😎😎😎

It sounds good. It looks good. What a guitar it is! 🎸🎸🎸

there is also "Legion guitars" i have just come across yesterday! killer axes! 🤘👊👊👊

Some of your best playing . You went the full Gilmore on the neck pickup.

My good friend David Shankle plays for Viper. They are great guitars.

Sweet looking axe

Their GT model looks awesome!

Thought you would know. Being a Manowar fan One David Shankles signature It's good to see you share

sounds completely metal when you kicked in the OD wow

Actually never heard of them before but they are pretty cool

Brilliant video as usual Vipers look superb. Do they ship to the UK?

Sounds pretty damn sweet

Beautiful guitar. Great sound, but I’m a poor boy that buys imports and add all the things i like myself a bit at a time. So basically I have 20 customs 😆 I’d get a viper if I had and extra couple grand lying around. Lol. Awesome video as usual max.

my custom carvin took 3- 4 months also so that's cool

AWESOME!

Finally a guitar that's great !! 😊

These guitars are gonna be top sellers! I my hope they will be for sale in Europe to! 🎯

Impressive

Sounds like a great company...I still have my eye on the Jason Becker Blue Carvin...

Sweet axe! Man, if I got one, the hardest choice would be choosing the body style. I REALLY want a Solar type A, with those deep cutouts by the neck… but then, I also want a very pointy V style… both in 7 string of course.

Awesome!! that shredder looks amazing for sure!.. 3k though? wow (I'm just a ordinary person in terms of finances LOL).. Would you be able to make a vs video of one of these super amazing expensive guitars vs one of the "best" "inexpensive" guitars you like? That would be great. Pro's n Con's of each (aside from the price obviously). Super cool I think. Thank you!

You're just having too much fun! 😂

The triple-tickle demo strikes again!!

Great video, beautiful craftsmanship sometimes you have to demo guitars that are at a premium price range.

Gotta love Green guitars

The clean tone is probably the best clean tone among the others guitars here.

Looks like they have in stock demo models for $1200-1400, those seem like a no brainer if they have one you like and you're in the market for a nice guitar

These guitars are COMPLETELY handmade. Right down to the cutting of the grooves and pressing in the fret wire. You do get what you pay for, in some instances. Here you are getting SO MUCH MORE real value for your hard-earned dollar. Not only handmade, COMPLETELY, but handmade in the good 'Ol US of A.

All you need is a Peavey Vypyr amp and you're all set! :)

I think you need to test the IYV custom build and have them make you a metal guitar, custom shape..Ive heard their price is in the 3-500 for customs then shipping from vietnam?

could you please shoot this out with a kiesel? it seems like a very similar business concept

Going to the site after posting this comment. That guitar has that George Lynch vibe to it, sound wise that is.

Gostei da guitarra muito linda 👏👏👏👏👏

Max, the guitar you tested reminded me of seeing The Burning Bush. It looks so cool!

How about a budget 8 string? Thanks

I HAVE heard of these guitars due to Ronny North having several sig models. I must admit though, Ive never visted their website. Kinda fell off my radar. Checking them out today!

Damn, they didn't put an f-spaced Nazgul in the bridge position? Crazy!

what were you running the Boss IR-200 into?

Am I the only one who looked at the thumbnail and said... "Sweet Ax for under 300 bucks!!" 😂 Seriously though, nice guitar and 3-4 months is an incredibly fast turnaround time for a USA custom build.

Seems like they are taking from the Kiesel business model. Same concept. Nice guitar.

Do you make up all of your riffs on the spot?

What amp and speaker cab are you using?

Have you had a chance to use a BOSS Katana Go headphone amp?

Question,,,, on the video where you Guitar Center dumpster dived, how come you didnt grab the Gibson Les Paul and the Ibanez Jem,,,,Just courious,,,or was that a fixed video,,,Thanks,,,, Love the channel,,,, Im a Subscriber ,,,,,,Rock On Max

Max you should contact SOAP Guitars. They have such a unique construction/build, features & finishes. I can’t afford one as they’re around $4.5K. But they’re such a cool instrument & they’re doing some things I’ve not seen in the industry

One of my friends is sponsored by them and has a custom model. The Viper Lloyd Wallace LW-1. Sadly, I can't afford it.☹

They have a pickup called a Nazgul?

cooooool!

Good day Mr. Guitar Max. Im a fan of your guitar reviews video. I wish I could have one of that guitars of yours even the cheapest one. Im a beginner learning to play guitar.

I bought a custom made Carvin Ultra V in the 1990s for about 2100 DM...🇩🇪 Now they are Kiesel.

What is the cost on these guitars or atleast the average cost?

Colouring wise, that could be in San Francisco around 1967.

best guitars

Hey ROADKILL...What are you a Guitar Player or a Guitar Dealer? When I purchase a guitar, the last thing on my mind is.. what if I sell it! May I suggest you purchase gold and silver instead!

Yeesh. Price.

🔥🔥🔥🔥✨

Do they make lefties...? I hope so.... I'll check it out That's a beautiful guitar

Fantasy fantastic 😂❤❤❤❤❤

Max quote...not another cream strat or burst les paul....enough of that.... Thanks for the parallel thought....

How much?

Im sure they make great guitars like this one but just buy max's signature guitar instead, i mean, ita kinda the same style guitar, floyd rose, super strat, beautiful paint job.. pickups are accually good too, very versatile, the rail neck pick up is amazing

That's so nice, but if I'm already worried about spending $200 on boots for work, ain't no way I can afford to spend nearly $3000 on a guitar.

The paint job on that looks almost holographic.

Lately , I've been spending alot more time on the coilsplit neck pickups of my guitars. With modern wiring a treble bleed curcuit is imperative to get the tones I'm after. I don't have a single guitar in my collection that's a one trick pony. 50's wired or modern with treble bleeds gets bitch'n tones all the way down the dial.

I may have missed it but how much is that one in your hands?

Okay, regarding your questions, yeah, I feel like I saw Viper guitars at the NAMM Convention on somebody's RU-vid channel. Those Viper designs really ARE targets that got hit. I hope you're able to get one. I think it suits you. To be honest, the body you were playing is my favorite shape. But like I said, I like the uniuns (unique & unusuals), so I'd like to try out the Lace Damascus Alumitone Deathbuckers, because I also just like the name and the look. I prefer HSH so I'm not sure on single coil or single config humbucker in the middle. 2 tones, 2 vols, 5way, CTS Pots, I'd go with coil splitting switches so I don't bump them in the pots (I once lost a knob during a gig and when I looked down at my guitar after the set, I had cut my hand on the exposed pot and sprayed a rainbow of blood across my guitar.) So no push/pulls for me. I'd go for the luminescent blue side dots, oh yeah - 24 frets, ball end Stainless steel jumbos with a satin back. A fretboard so black that the silver frets seem to be floating. I'd like elaborate mushroom motif inlays, in light blue abalone, I think, with blue agave lillies on the 12th fret. AND I would ask Viper to finish the body with vague mummified Comedy/Tragedy theater-faces on the front, and the words "Forgive Me" on the back. I guess maybe a blood red primary color, not like hollywood, but the deoxygenated deep dark shade like that closer to the liver, dark but not black, and shiny reflective like a puddle at night. Perhaps trimmed with irridescent dark sky blue, like later mid-afternoon with that layered depth look. Not in daylight, but definitely before dusk. I'd like the main cutaways, lap, arm, belly, and "handshake". I might be overthinking the inlays, but I'd want something interesting for the pot knobs and switch caps. Locking tuners, lock nut, super-trem system, unique, not Floyd Rose - they're too flighty. A close to the body push in arm. 6inline unless I get a unique wicked headstock of the gothic type similar to a BC Rich signature series but not the same, then 3+3 or 4+2. Total weight between 6.5-8 pounds. Good, light, cooked, thoroughly dehydrated woods. Stainless Steel and Brass. Balanced weight distribution. Stronger than usual but not ridiculous clear coat. I always prefer chrome, but maybe gold/chrome hybrid is better with deep blood and pre-dusk blue. Well that was entrancing. Sorry if that was overkill. I just never thought about it like that before. Thanks for the idea.
