Wood Violins Viper 5 String Electric Violin (White with Schatten Pickup)
Wood Violins Viper 5 String Electric Violin (White with Schatten Pickup)
The Viper is the most revolutionary and innovative electric violin ever offered to the modern violinist and guitarist. With the breakthrough design of the patented Chest Support System™, the Viper is a completely self-supporting instrument. The shoulder pad and chin rest are no longer needed, allowing the player to perform for longer periods of time without experiencing the neck and back fatigue that a traditional violin can create. Now violin players can experience the physical and musical freedom that up until now has only been available to guitarists. And guitarists can experience the expressiveness of the bow which creates everything from singing infinite sustain to crisp staccato attack.

The most exciting development in electric violins is the invention of the revolutionary lightweight Chest Support System™, which eliminates the need for a chin rest and shoulder pad, allowing the instrument to support itself. The main component is an adjustable platform and for additional strength, an adjustable chain is attached to all fretted 6 and 7-string Vipers. With the utilization of the Chest Support System™, the player now has the freedom of movement to explore options that were previously impossible such as singing, and performance "antics." In conjunction with the Chest Support System™, a guitar strap is secured from one wing of the instrument to the other and fastens comfortably around the player’s back.
Pro Schatten pickup
The Viper comes stock with an Schatten pickup included, with the exception of 7-string models, which utilize the Barbera pickup (we encourage using a pre-amp with the Schatten).
