2010s Peavey Generation EXP Tele-Style Electric Guitar

Overview: Hey, it's a guitar! I mean, Peavey Generations can be spotted all over the place and many were first guitars for folks. This one has a Tele-like profile but has a pickup configuration and layout more familiar to SuperStrat players -- an HSS mix with a 5-way switch -- so you get an aggressive, humbucker/driving bridge sound and all of the nice, chimey, even, Strat-sounding stuff at the neck and middle.


Tone: It's Stratty at the neck and middle (clean, bright, even) and has some strong mids and bite at the bridge. It's got a Fender-style long scale so notes snap a bit more than on a Gibson-style guitar.


Feel: It's got a slim, fast neck with a shallower fretboard radius -- a pretty typical modern guitar feel.


Interesting features: It appears to be all-original except for the two knobs which are cool, vintage, stereo knobs. I can put something more tame on there if you like (black Strat knobs?), but the last owner left them like this.


Repairs included: Gurion, I think, gave it a restring and a good setup and adjustments. It's playing spot-on and is ready to serve.
