MGR/Brian Puente « Peavey Raptor Plus »
Published on 12/20/01 at 15:00I got the Raptor Plus at Tringas Music for about 170 bucks. I got it as a beginning guitar to see if i was into playing or not. Lucky for me i was and now I wanted to review it.
The slidings alright and the action is super low, which is always good for hammering and such.
The three strat style coils arent too great unfortunately. The sounds get super fuzzy when you get up to the higher frets namely 20-22. Tuning takes a crap of a long time unless its super minor adjustments (which is usually the case). and the tremelo bar makes your strings go outta tune after a while....but its withstandable enough to use the tremelo for a couple days without tuning.
well the contruction and quality is kinda shotty but it is a beginning guitar so it isnt expected to be built to the calibur of a les paul. I mean after all you dont give a sixteen year old the keys to a new BMW.
It worked out great for me as a first electric guitar. Its coils arent the best but they work and are fairly decent. All in all a nice starting point for you future "Kirk Hammet"s for not so bad a price.
