Re: Peavey
The only Peavey guitar I ever owned was a Korean-built Wolfgang Special EXP, the flat-top amber quilt. It was a fine guitar; it really was. I never had a problem with the quality or the tone. Too flat in the radius for frets that size -- for my taste, anyway. I traded it for two gallons of canned pizza sauce and a talking garter snake.
But I've played plenty of Peavey guitars and basses that I really liked -- aluminum-neck V-shaped bass, chief among them.

Re: Peavey
Peavey does get a bad wrap from time to time. A lot of it is misplaced coming from gear snobs and elitists that believe something has to be really expensive to be any good. In my opinion Peavey seems to spread itself too thin and their product branding isn't very good. They don't do a very good job of separating their really high end tube amps/guitars etc. from the low to mid priced stuff. Without the price tag hanging on the piece you wouldn't know. They also seem to make a ton of models of amps. Too many. Peavey makes some really good stuff and they make some really cheap junk. Unfortunately they don't even make American guitars anymore.
