Is $55 a decent deal for a Peavey Rockmaster guitar

Sign in to disble this ad
$55's is my budget. The Peavey Rockmaster comes in a starter pack anywhere from $100-160 dollars. I bought just the guitar for 55 dollars. It sounds good. I like it. A little noisy but not bad. I'm not fussy at all. Obviously this isn't a les paul or a 60's strat. I just play blues and I'm a big fan of Hound Dog Taylor. In case you didn't know he would play really cheap Japanesse guitars.

Hank Hill- So are ya Chinesse or Japanesse?

Hound Dog would say the more knobs and switches it has the better. This is the best deal I could find for a budget of 55 bucks. I paid that exactly. I like the sound and the feel of the thing. I'm just wondering is 55 bucks good for just the guitar.


Right now as far as bass goes I'm playing a Squier P Bass through a 20 dollar walmart amp. Haha yea. When I say I'm not picky I really mean not picky at all. I plugged into my brothers Ampeg the other day and I was blown away at the difference in sound haha. I'm really just a bedroom player. I really dig the ol' rugged guitar sound on a lot of those old blues albums. I've owned a Fender Strat and an Epiphone Thunderbird at one point but I sold them both like an idiot because I was going to quit playing music but that didn't happen.

Sweet. I'm glad I got a good deal. My philosophy is I have no problem buying low end gear as long as it works. I saw a few reviews for the guitar and they all said its a decent guitar for the price. My mom actually bought it as an early b day gift. Its next month. Ill be 21. I'm primarily a blues bassist. I just play a lil jimmy reed style guitar.
