Peavey has added a new fixed-bridge model to its HP™ Special Series guitar line. The new Peavey HP Special Stoptail electric guitar will now be available as a stock model.
The Peavey HP Special Stoptail guitar has features such as the Peavey Dual Compression™ tailpiece, a string-through-body design that creates a connection between the string, bridge and string ferrules. A pair of specially wound HP Special humbucking pickups are bolted directly to the body to achieve deep, rich tones, and connect to push-pull coil taps on the volume and tone controls that split the hum-canceling pickup coils to yield single-coil tones.
HP Special Stoptail guitars are available in CT (Carved Top) models with carved-maple tops and transparent finishes, and FT (Flat Top) models with flat basswood bodies and a selection of metallic and gloss solid-color finishes. All HP Special guitars are outfitted with a sculpted neck joint for access to the oil-finished, graphite-reinforced, asymmetrical hard-rock maple neck.
Additional options such as Peavey’s innovative online custom graphics web portal, where users can design custom guitars with their own JPEG images, are available through PeaveyCustomShop.com.
