All user reviews for the Peavey Generation EXP

I purchased the guitar from an on-line retailer for less that $130.00 USD. I have always been attracted to a Tele and could not pass up the chance to purchase a copy for at he price offered.

The most attractive part is the price. But, its low price did not mean low quality.
The fit and finish was first rate considering the price. Other than adjusting the bridge on the high e and tuning, it was ready to play out of the box.

I ordered a gold colored guitar based on the catalog and on line decriptions.
When it arrived it was more of a Honey Blonde w/ Black Pick Guard instead of the Gold w/ White Pick Guard. But, I grew to like the color combination.

For the price, I was surprised by the fit and finish.

For beginning player or an experienced player need a back up or practice guitar, you cannot go wrong with the Generation EXP.

I bought this guitar from musician's friend for ca. $200.

I was looking for an affordable "Telecaster," style guitar.

First of all, I like the price of this guitar.

Second, the value is outstanding.

It has a beautiful gold finish.

The pick-ups are loud.

So far nothing.

As mentioned, excellent overall quality.

This guitar has served me well live, and in recording situations.

I am a working musician. I demand a lot from a guitar.

This guitar delivers!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this guitar secondhand one AFien. 130, or almost new.
I practiced the guitar sound (folk and classical) APRS for years have dropped the electric guitar.
Following an accident, I could not do the guitar. So I sold all my guitars.
I wanted a small electric CHRE not to see if I could replay a bit despite my handicaps the left hand (hard to imagine in this day acoustic) so I bought this scratch which the seller ( Tsetsu.fr (https://fr.audiofanzine.com/membres/index% 2Cidmembre 2C98097.html%)) had certified that silent thunder.

It is.

Frankly, this award, its qualities are quite Sidr. Trs is enjoyable to play, the string action is excellent, no curl (could it RULES t?) Are far from the mcaniques very fair game, it is fair enough and tuning (the first shovels of weak prices) is easy and takes amazingly good.

Ct's, that's all fine. I just find that the humbucker (the bridge) really lacks safe for a double. Well, it's a Tele stale, not a Les Paul, either!

The report qualitprix is ​​really excellent. I find it better than a Squier Tele essayercemment.

It MRIT probably a change in personality microphones to win but for the price, it is not really theft!

- In which country was it made?
China
- How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?
21 frets (very high I think) SSH
- What type of bridge (Floyd, Wilkinson ...)?
easel metal genre TV
- What are the settings (volume, tone, micro switch ...)?
volume, tone, micro switch 5 positions
- What type of race?
rounded down a bit, I think maple neck, truss rod and bar

UTILIZATION

- The handle is it fun?
Yes, There is a micro imperfection on the back of mine (like roughness knot wood) we feel a little bit, but with an ultra fine sandpaper and oil there will be more .. .
- Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy?
Yes, I have a classical guitar, then it's too easy!
- Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
A little heavy but not too
- Gets it easy to sound good? ...
So then yes, the micro switch makes a real difference in the sound, including positions 2 and 4. I find the tone a bit too radical, because frankly it cuts the treble or bass. But here at least we know it turns to something!

SOUNDS

- They are suitable to your style of music?
I like enough different styles to suit it. It is quite versatile with humbucker (I am not at all metalheads but I also took my foot in the saturation crunchy!). The single environmental sounds good for a simulation of acoustic I think. Only the neck pickup might be a little soft, but it is far from the strings (to deal with.
- With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
Bass V-amp (I also have a lower) + + HP Crate Powerblock VOX AC50
- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
The preamp and Lampl are not all the same sounds and complement each other well. (See my opinion on the Powerblock)
- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
The frets are very high, I come from a classical guitar with worn frets to death, which forced me to tighten my bars. So, I make a bend half a tone just by pressing the low E string! It's super boring to agree!

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
Two weeks
- What is so special that you like most and least?
+ Style TV!
- Strings too sensitive to "bends pressure" to do with taking a stronger perhaps, but not the original string ...
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Very little. The same time without the switch and the handle completely gun for € 200! A bargain!
- How would you rate the quality / price?
Very good, € 179 on the web is given a scratch!
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
with just two weeks, I'll come for the experience, even though I started the guitar ten years ago (with some empty anyway)

Made in China

21 Frets, I therefore model Single Triple 3 single pickups with 5-way switch as a stratum

Vintage Bridge then three bridges which causes qq adjustment problems, I did it settle but still ca frieze above the handle on the G string and if. The mechanical are vintage but are also pretty good agreement.

Channel U but not too flat U (C is not very clear but ca)

UTILIZATION

Very enjoyable round. It is well balance. Everyone who tried it was surprised by the quality of sound.

SOUNDS

I play with a Vox DA5. I prefer the bridge position for the dry and slamming into the amp with AC crunch is sending the mixture bridge / middle, which adds a little soft or bridge for clear sound that goes with everything, in fact I serve almost no neck. Really it sounds! I would love to test it with a "real" light ...

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 2 years now I have, I always appreciate the same. The only weak point is the vintage bridge that prevents it from settling chque rope but it seems that the tele in general have prblm frieze. I thought I'd sell it for next but I will keep it if I took a 2nd scratch. I tried the equivalent model price (+ -200) it was significantly higher in Squier and other tele-like. Excellent price quality ratio! I do it again this choice without hesitation.

A Chinese standard telecaster,
21 frets,
Pickups 3 Single
Maple neck and Fingerboard
5 position selector
1 volume
1 tone
easel has 3 bridges

UTILIZATION

The advantage of this skyscraper is the presence of the 3 pickups giving it greater versatility than a TV classic. I find it rather heavy but well balanced. the finish is quite honest with a few imperfections like a few frets badly tweaked the treble and Nut tend to slide. the handle is ok but a bit too late for my paws.

SOUNDS

That may be where I required the least amount of this guitar, do not expect miracles from a small guitar to 135 euros. and yet ..... it sounds pretty darn well. it is not suited to nag (who doubted), but for a skyscraper at 135 euros it has nothing to be ashamed. it has been chattering on a TV and there it is very pleasant.

OVERALL OPINION

It will be one month that I possess. I appreciate everything before slamming,
the price / quality ratio is very good. much more than the brand-famous brands.
again the choice? I know. I'm not disappointed, but the guitars at the lowest price we often reserve big surprise ...
