Lightweight chambered mahogany body
A solid cedar top and lightweight chambered mahogany body give the Ovation Yngwie Malmsteen Signature Viper warm tone and great sustain. It will also save your back during those all-night gigs. Feedback is one of the biggest issues acoustic players have onstage. The chambered body and custom preamp circuitry help you eliminate this issue once and for all. Intentional amplifier feedback can be good, acoustic feedback is not!

Lightning-fast scalloped fretboard
True to Yngwie's personal taste, this guitar sports a scalloped ebony fretboard. A light touch is all you need to play blazing fast solos and insane riffs. A scalloped fretboard makes executing wild vibrato and bending notes easier than ever on the Ovation Yngwie Malmsteen Signature Viper.

5-Piece Speed and Beauty
The Yngwie Malmsteen Signature Viper's 5-piece mahogany and maple neck defines the ultra-fast Viper neck shape. The bound ebony fingerboard is decorated with abalone inlays and fitted with nickel silver frets. Each of the frets is crowned, dressed, and polished by hand.
