I picked this up off of Refeeverb earlier in the week. Arrived yesterday late…UPS dude must have been on overtime.

I basically just had time to get it out of the box and make sure nothing was broken. And then go to bed. Lol

It’s a 1989 Peavey Tracer Custom. What drew me to this one was the fact that it had a reverse headstock!!! Not a lot of these did. These are wallet friendly high quality guitars.

If you are familiar with the Peavey Vandenberg model, the necks on these Tracer Customs are VERY SIMILAR!!! Wide. Slim. Fast. This one has a rosewood fretboard. The Vandenberg has ebony.

It features a HSS configuration. A factor Kahler Spyder trem system. It has a master volume/master tone with a 5 way blade and a coil split mini toggle.

The frets are in great shape Overall, the guitar is in ok condition. It’s been played.

I will have more pics and a full tone report when I finish setting it up this morning.

Wow!! I finally got around to going through this awesome Peavey this morning!!

I was going to block the trem from dive only, but I ended up setting it up to float…and I’m so glad I did!!! It stays in tune until the cows come home. I think those Kahler Spyder trems are just as good as a Floyd.

The neck pickup sounded like dog poop. So I installed a Seymour Duncan HOT RAIL in the neck….that sounds great!!!

And I added a kill switch.

I polished the frets, oiled the fretboard and set it up with a new set of 9s.

It plays and sounds great!! It’s a shedders dream!!!
