I have been playing for 40 yrs. I was playing a party in Tampa when a Drunk fell over my guitar stand and trashed my guitar. A friend owns a music store; I called and met him at the store. He hands me a loner, A Peavey Predator, no set up nothing, just tune and go. After the gig I payed him for the guitar. It is one of the cheapest guitars I ever bought. It has smokin action, super slinkys and a soft light touch. Floyd Rose for less than 3 C. Notes that is always nice. It screams I run it through my 1980's Digitec RP1. For some one who is low on the cash flow this will give you a lot of bang for your buck.
Having played for 20 years I can say that this guitar is not only a GREAT value, it's the best playing guitar I have ever owned, only second to a Peavey Wolfgang Custom that owned a few years ago. I shopped around a lot before making this purchase and I went to quite a few guitar shops trying different makes in the 200 to 300 range. I bought this one at Daddy's Music in Burlington, MA and I had been playing it for the past two weeks as I would go there on my lunch hour from work. It was very much like Wayne's World when I went in there on Friday and the guy at the counter said.."Let me guess, you need a thin pick and a patch cord for that red Peavey over there!" After having gone to two other stores that day, I decided that this guitar was going to be it, the action was unbelievable and the sound was just as surprising! What really suprised me was a call I got from Peavey today...When I bought the guitar it didn't come with a "whammy" bar. It has a Floyd so I was surprised when the guy told me that it didn't come with one in the box, he said that Peavey does that sometimes... Well, when I was registering the guitar online with Peavey they offered a suggestion box, so I offered up my feelings of dissappointment about the guitar not coming with a "whammy" bar. Citing what the guy told me..."Looks like you got a Friday guitar" to insinuate that guitars made by Peavey at the end of the week are not up to the standards of those made earlier in the week. Well, I got a call from Peavey today apologizing for the comments made by the guy at the guitar shop and they assured me that they have the highest standards of quality. That was followed with the guy telling me that a new whammy bar is in the mail on its way to my house. He said that he worked for Gibson for 9 years and he said that Peavey is far and away better than any other company out there when it comes to service and quality... I believe it!!! They now have a life-long advocate of their products and service!
I ordered this guitar mostly for the Floyd Rose, but also so I could play heavier music, because my Epiphone LP (which I still love dearly) didn't quite get the job done. I figured that this guitar would require a bit of work because it only cost me $220. I was completely astounded at the amazing quality of this instrument. I ordered the Candy Apple Red guitar, and the color is WAY better in person than on the picture. It a very dark deep red with a bit of metallic-ness to it. The headstock is black, not maple colored.(Which is much better) The Floyd Rose is absolutely flawless once it's set up right and your strings are stretched. The pickups are not that bad, either, although I'm probably going to put a DiMarzio Evo in the Bridge position later on. Overall it's the best $220 guitar you will ever see or use.
