Peavey guitar love?

Sign in to disble this ad
On this forum there seems to be a lot of love for Peavey basses, particularly the USA made Cirrus, T-40 and Fury models.

For those of you who also play guitar, do you have a similar regard for the USA made Wolfgang, T-60 and Predator? (Strat copy)

I'm just curious, as the prices of the USA made guitars seem lower (in general) that the USA made basses. Maybe the bass prices are currently a little higher thanks to the great press that they recieve here.

I've seen one, not sure of the model. Cheapo for sure, at a store close to me. I've always thought they looked a little rubbish. Didn't play it. On the other hand, I've seen a hollow body Peavey that has a pretty nice price and looked alright.

As far as USA made goes, no clue. I would assume they're good.

Yes some are good deals...

T60s have a cult following from the tele guys... few guitars sound as good....

I have a reactor.. have had vandenburgs... tracers... impacts etc...

The quality of the late 80s/early 90s are way undervalued...

Issue with guitars is that there are many options in the same quality/price band... basses are tougher to make cheap and good.
