Peavey HP Special CT USA

This is the new "Wolfgang". Eddie is no longer with Peavey, so they decided to build a better mousetrap, adding coil-taps, new design P"ups, and a newer shape, and carved back for comfort. Quilt maple top is stunning in Blueburst, with a fast mapole neck. Made by custom shop in Miss, USA!!!

I play mostly 80's style Rock, metal. V-H, Scorps, Maiden, Priest, etc etc..This Guitar nails all of it. I run it through Peavey Triple XXX, with Boss stomp pedals. This thing covers a lot of ground, especially when coils are tapped, for a Srat/Tele type sound. Pickups sound to me like a Duncan JB, witha PAF Pro, with a little less output, but still really bright!!! This thing sounds awesome at any setting. Nice Floyd Trem, stays in tune, and has a block for non-floating, which I like.............

I love low action! This Guitar did not disappoint. Came pretty low, and played nice right out of the Box. The Guitar came flawless, and was pretty much in tune!!! I took it to Gary Brawer in S,F, where I had it PLEKED, and set-up, now it is almost cheating!!! This Guitar was made with a lot of pride, as the finish is gorgeous. It is a Moonburst Quilt, stunning.............Maple top, Basswood body, neck ios gorgeous birdseye maple.again, stunning.

Used it Sat night for a club gig, and it did fantastic. My Band members were blown away by the big tone out of this lightweight Axe. Got great tone with tapped coils as well. Ddi great live. The laquer in these is thickmand shiny and very tough. My tech commented on the richness of the gloss, and how tough it was. I unscrewed the trem arm, and it fell off, nicking the finish, not a mark was left!! All Peavey's stuff is built to last............

Have not dealt with Peavey on this, just mailed in Warranty. They have always been good to me in the past

Been playing 28 years, have many Gibsons, Jacksons. I would replace if stolen. I compared it to Ernie Ball/musicman, PRS, etc etc. This had the best neck in my opinion. I love everything about this Guitar, it's wicked fast, and gorgeous too!!

This is a 2006 PEAVEY HP SPECIAL CT (Carved Top...just in case), and it's crafted right here in the good ole' USA. Mine has a phenomenal AAAA Flame Maple top set on a thick basswood body. The pick-ups are hand wound in the Peavey Custom shop and direct mounted to the body. It's a double Humbucker set up BUT it has coil splits for both the bridge and neck. It's a Floyd Rose Licensed Trem and it has an exceptional Birdseye Maple asymmetrical neck. The neck is bolted on by 5 bolts and has carbon (graphite) rods which make it stable as a steel beam....It doesn't move with the humidity. Low profile frets IMHOP....probably not classified as such but they definately don't feel like the jumbos I've played recently. I love this fact because the playability is unbelievable and bending is effortless. Let me try again...the frets are just right.

I LOVE late 70's and 80's METAL and as you might guess I'm a EVH disciple. I have been chasing his tones since I first heard them on the radio. That being said, this guitar does the "Brown Sound" like no other guitar I've ever played. I realize that the tone is in your hands, but the right hands with the right instrument is where the magic happens. This guitar will be that tool for great hands.

It has INSANE harmonics and the pickups are wound perfectly to make those harmonics fly off the board even when you're thumping that big E. It is a very articulate guitar and the PUPS will capture nuances of your style....which is imperative if you ever want to develop your own sound.

The coil splits give this guitar a great single coil tone (It can get TWANGY)...

EXTREMELY VERSATILE!! and it can absolutely ROCK....

From Steely Dan to Lamb of God....you have it covered...but the heart is definately a shredders delight.

The set up was perfect out of the box. I like LOW ACTION...and this was no disappointment. The frets and top are as GOOD AS IT GETS. I have Hubers, Andersons, Suhrs, and a dozen other high end guitars, and the fit and finish on this guitar is top notch.

I LOVED CUSTOM SHOP WOLFGANGS!!! I was reluctant to venture into this guitar because I was concerned it would be a watered down imitation of the Wolfgang.

MAKE NO MISTAKE....This is an evolution of the Wolfgang, and it is an improvement. They kept all the great features...including the most comfortable, fast, and playable neck of any guitar I've owned over 18 years. Then improved on it by adding coil taps and body contouring.

I have since picked up two more HP Specials and sold 4 Wolfgang Custom Shops. I still like the Wolfgangs...but truth be told the HP is a BETTER GUITAR.

Ouch!! That hurt to say.....

Built like a tank....

No worries...this is definately a PLAYER. I'm personally not worried about anyone stealing it backstage because I don't think anyone knows what the hell it is.

I like it this way....

Peavey is fantastic!!! Easy to contact and quick to respond...

I picked mine up from the GURU of Wolfgangs and now HP Specials....

Geoff is fantastic and certain to be more insane about these guitars then anyone you could possibly imagine.

I have an enormous amount of gear and none of it is cheap....That being said this is my favorite guitar to go pick up and play. If I'm covering Van Halen, Dokken, Ratt...you know the line up...this is the go to axe without question. It's literally so easy to play it feels like I'm cheating.....

This is the new HP Special CT made in the USA. Materials and hardware are top notch. The body is basswood and the neck is birdseye maple with incredible figuring. The top is easily a AAAA flamed maple top with maple binding. Mine has the licensec Floyd Rose which can be set to float or get locked in to position. This guitar is as fine as any made today.

Sound is awesome. I play everything from rock to Jazz. I play through a Digitech Legend II through a Carvin X amp running into a Peavey 5150 4 x 12 top cabinet. Pickups are hot and can be coil tapped for a myriad of sound options. This guitar is versatile.

This guitar is flawless. Period. The woods are of the highest quality and it played great out of the box.

This is built to last a lifetime and beyond. I have no doubts this will stand the test of time. This is one of the finest guitars I have ever played.

Since mine was one of the first made it seems the owners manualswere not printed yet. One call and they shipped it out.

I have been playing for 30 years and have played and owned lots of stuff. This guitar ismone of the finest I have ever played. I also own a Fender Clapton Strat a Gibson Lucille, Gibson Nighthawk and Ovation Legend.
