The Peavey Vandenberg is Coming Back?!?

[yellowv]

Man I think they really dropped the ball on this. If anything they should have done like Kramer and done a $1000ish import reissue and maybe one USA option. Nothing but $3000 guitars when you can still buy clean sub $2000 originals was kind of a weird way to go.

Dropping the ball is what Peavey is best at these days.

Peavey can't get anything right. They couldn't even get the Invective right. "Made in America... lol, here's some stickers to put over 'Made in China'."

The white one is more than fine

Where is this guitar being produced? The HP2 is made in the Czech Republic, so I assume this is the same?

 

[ZLE]

They mounted the pickups crooked, but if they want to sell me the black one with red binding at a discount,i will take it...
Did they actually PAINTED the diamond "inlays":

... where is the pink one? FFS, Adrian. Give us your pink.

The middle one is actually the pink, hence folks complaining about it being so light.

Is it going to be like the lavender hue Jake E Lee models? Those are actually pretty amazing looking when the light hits them.

The more you examine these guitars, the worse they look. The painted inlays are hilarious.

That's not my word for painted inlays.

Come on, Peavey......

At least it looks like it's only on the flat black one...

Well..... I'm thinking if you REALLY want one, wait a couple of years and you will be able to pick one up at GC on close out for $699. I'm going to go out of a limb and say these will not sell well at all.

With Peavey the question isn't "will it sell?" It's "will it ever get made?"

Yeah given the speed of Peavey getting stuff out I figure these will still not be available by next NAMM

 

[Mathemagician]

Can’t used painter and inlay in the same sentence. Painted fretboard pictures. Woooooow.

So I'm late to this thread. This guitar does look awesome:

However, $2,999 USD for a Peavey is absolutely insane. They don't have enough consumer loyalty to try to market at that pricepoint. I think they could make these in Korea and charge half the price. Talk about not reading the room - yeesh.

 

[Hollowway]

Do we know for sure that the diamond inlays are painted? I find it hard to believe that they would do that, given what can be done with CNC. But I have no idea.

It’s probably just a NAMM prototype. I would hope they don’t actually release one like that.

Yes - at half the price I would be interested. At this price - no way.

To me that makes more sense - make them in Korea and charge around $1500-$1600. See how well those sell. If they move quickly and in decent numbers, THEN do an upscale one at $3000. I love the looks but no way in hell I'm paying three grand.
