Not really customs, more prototypes, from Mile’s collection. |

No wood here, both guitars have urelite bodies on an aluminium frame, antecedent of the UKII. The first is a pretty straight Viper layout on a UK II [to be] body. The second labelled as a “Viper Deluxe” is a Viper III with humbuckers and tap switches, on a similar body. The shapes are; first UK II, second Viper. |

A Magnum’s heavy armoury of pickups had been augmented here with an extra one. |

This “Viper” has a single blade magnetic pickup and a Baggs acoustic bridge pickup.
Each pickup has a volume control and it’s own output , to be played through two different amps or different channels of the same amp.
Project: adapt the switching with a mono/stereo switch ; add a blend control; single output. Sounds a bit like a VXT, so maybe add another pickup?
A pair of hot di’marzio pickups have added an extra dimmension to an already great guitar.
