Played a Peavey HP Special guitar, was impressed.

Looks like this,

It played and sounded great, real loose feeling and felt solid. Like the very minimal finish on the back of the neck and the frets were dressed nice. Floyd took the 10 minutes of abuse that I threw at it, time would tell on that piece.

$450 out the door, man the guitars these days at that price point blow away what was around in the 80s.

Very cool guitar for the money.

Ya, they're making some pretty cool stuff. The USA made ones are very nice, and reasonably priced. I have an old V-type that's really nice for an import.

This one looks cool.

Is the neck profile the same as the US Wolfgangs? Those are/were so comfy.

The HP is a tad ugly tho.

i think crownedblasphemy is a big fan of those

Yes, the HPs are nice. The US ones are basically the Wolfgang with a double cutaway.

Yeah pretty much.

I thought in person the guitar looked pretty good myself, one I tried was bound which helped.

Yup! I have the USA ones though. I haven't tried the 3 pickup (exp?) ones though....The brass blocks in the ones I have are massive! Really adds girth and sustain.

They are some of the best playing necks I've played.

+1. I've got a USA Custom Shop model, trans red, flame top, ebony board, stop tail. Plays like a dream and is really light. I picked it up used for $800. Definately one of the best bangs for the buck out there.
