NAMM: Peavey Generation USA Custom Guitar

(Click for a close-up)

Peavey has introduced the new Generation USA Custom guitars, designed in the Peavey Custom Shop and featuring Peavey's exclusive, patented ACM circuitry for replicating an acoustic guitar sound.

The Generation USA Custom further refines the artistry of the Generation series with a pearloid top and matching tuning keys, plus a hard rock maple neck, birdseye fretboard and a high quality, solid alder body.

Three soapbar-style pickups add tonal balance and a vintage flair to both clean and distorted tones, and the ACM circuit replicates an acoustic guitar's tone and resonance. The soapbar-pickup and ACM tones can also be blended via the 360-degree fully adjustable knob control for a hybrid tone. The three pickups can be adjusted via volume and tone controls and a three-way selector switch.

Generation USA Custom guitars will be available in Q3 2004 from authorized Peavey dealers.
