Feature:
I was out looking for a beginer guitar for my daughter and after checking out several used ones the Peavey Raptor Plus EXP nearly jumped into my arms. I had the option to buy the package but opted out and bought the guitar only. After throwing a few licks on it at the store I was sold. Mine didn't have a tremlo bar but I think that may be a dealer oversight.
Quality:
For the price it has to be one of the best "starter guitars" I have ever tried. It's been a long hard road finding a quality instrument that allows a ten year old not to be intimidated and also allows for creativity and curiosity to flourish. Kudos!
Value:
Absolutely!
Desirability:
If "looks" are important then they've done a decent guitar. Good finish on the body and the flat finish on the neck allows for ease in playability.
Sound:
I was thouroughly suprised with the sound quality of this supposedly "inexpensive" guitar. I'm pushing it through a mini-Marshall MG 15 and am astounded with the response! I'm going to try a bigger rig (amp) and I'll let you know.
Ease of Use:
As a professional acoustic player (30 + years)I found the versatility very accomadating. My daughter who is ten didn't have a problem with the playability. It's not an intimidating set-up and soon she was jammin her little heart out. I was amazed at the ease of use. I may buy her another one and keep this one for myself!
Support:
I'm going to find out.
Overall:
I am very pleased with this guitar so far. There are a few changes I will do. The set screws in the bridge are a little long. Tops are sharp. I will machine the bottoms down to bridge height. (No Pete Townsend till I do)The action is a little high for a beginner. I may need to shim the neck to achieve a little more speed and playability. The neck width is ideal for little hands. Great guitar!

Quality:
What do you want for the price. It has a few blemishes but nothing that detracts form the palyability. Great guitar
Value:
Played better tha more expensive starter guitars.
Desirability:
Very good paint job.
Sound:
I really like the sound. Infact I was surprised by it. I have played on and off for about 30 years and was looking for a starter guitar for my son. I played 10 different guitars some more expensive and I kept coming back to this one. Can't beat it for value.
Overall:
If you need a guitar and are short on cash look no further. Get the guitar setup and you r are ready to go.
