Peavy Announces HP Signature Guitar
January 15, 2004At the Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, Peavey Electronics Corporation introduced the HP Signature Series guitars, named for Peavey's founder, Hartley Peavey.
"I wanted to bring to the market a guitar that encompassed everything I've learned during my many years of designing and making guitars," said Hartley. "We pioneered a lot of technologies that are now industry standards, including shaping guitars with CNC router technology. We build each HP Signature guitar on that solid foundation, using the finest selected woods, hardware and pickups for brilliant tone as well as a distinctive, unmistakable appearance."
The double-cutaway HP Signature guitar is constructed using mahogany for the body and neck, Peavey's patented Dual-Compression Bridge for longer sustain and a solid quilt maple archtop to sweeten the tone. The Dual-Compression Bridge system is a unique, string-through design creating a metal-to-metal connection for singing sustain and stronger string presence.
The HP Signature guitar also features an ebony fretboard for a velvet feel with smooth attack; two of Peavey's patented, dual-wound, hum-canceling pickups providing high output; Schaller tuners; two volume knobs; one tone knob; and a three-way, toggle-style pickup selector.
HP Signature Series guitars will be available in March 2004.
