Members webwarmiller Posted November 17, 2010 Members Share Posted November 17, 2010 1994 Peavey Predator with Kaces III gigbag for $40 off craiglist. It's filthy, has some hideous chrome topped knobs, and the electronics seem to be on the fritz. The neck is good and straight, frets have no visible wear, and the body looks good. Hope to have time soon to break it completely down, clean everything, fix electronics, and then slap her back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bsman Posted November 17, 2010 Members Share Posted November 17, 2010 Can Will Chen be far behind? Cool find! I've found that around here folks are asking too much for those ($150 and better) these days, but I still keep my eye out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cratz2 Posted November 17, 2010 Members Share Posted November 17, 2010 $40, huh? That might be a record. I bought a cream MIA Predator about 4 or 5 years ago for $55 and thought I might have the cheapest decent condition Predator purchase ever. Contrats man. Never been a huge fan of those pickups, but they are certainly usable. Or $40 for something GFS used and it's stack up remarkable well against a $1,000 'F style' guitar. HGND!

Members Mike Fiasco Posted November 17, 2010 Members Share Posted November 17, 2010 I usually see those selling for about $150 in good condition on CL. Nice score. A friend gave me a Predator pup and switch set just waiting for the perfect opportunity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members D34dBaWx Posted November 17, 2010 Members Share Posted November 17, 2010 There is a shop not to far from me that has several of those MIA peaveys. I often think about picking one up but I already have 2 strats that I love. Cant think of a real reason to buy another one as there are other things I want. You got a stellar deal to buddy. (I don't like those knobs either, but they look cool on realtrees guitar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members webwarmiller Posted November 17, 2010 Author Members Share Posted November 17, 2010 great score! What's wrong with chrome topped knobs? I'll say the chrome top looks much better on your black knobs than on these white ones. These knobs are also really large so they've gotta go.... I've got some normal white strat knobs but would love to have some of the old Peavey aluminum knobs like my T-15 has......unfortunately they would cost more than the guitar :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members clay sails Posted November 17, 2010 Members Share Posted November 17, 2010 That's awesome. I almost picked up a $35 Johnson of CL today but the damn thing was sold. (I think a Peavey is probably a better guitar.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fu2jobu Posted November 17, 2010 Members Share Posted November 17, 2010 Does it say Frets99 under "her" boobs? Hmmm, there seems to be some Frets99 style headwear hanging in the background of that pic but I don't think that's enough evidence to implicate him.
