Feature:
The only accessory was a wrench to adjust the neck. The guitar has three knobs, two volume and one tone. The neck is fast but the fret job and binding was poor.

Quality:
The guitar arrived with three of the four jack plate screws stripped out of the wood. I had to dowel and glue the holes then redrill the holes to hold the jack in place. The fretboard has tooling marks and dried globs of finish. The binding along the fretboard looked very rough. When changing the humbuckers I found debris in the humbucker cavities, including wood chips, paint chips and black cloth. The hardware is chipped and worn looking and there was a factory dent in the peghead. I can't believe Mr. Peavey wants his name on this guitar.

Value:
This guitar is more like a $69.95 special not worth the price I paid for it and yes, I should have sent it back.

Desirability:
It is a goth guitar not the same signature model of 2007 with better construction and hardware.

Sound:
The sound of the 2008 model is very thin and could stand a better set of humbuckers. I finally changed pickups to improve the sound. The intonation was horrible and the neck bowed, needing adjustment. Still hard to intonate after the neck adjustment.

Ease of Use:
Though the neck is slick and has a very good neck joint, the frets were sharp and the fretboard rough. The poor quality humbuckers make it a challenge to get good tones.

Support:
I sent an email to Peavey customer service concerning this guitar the same day it arrived (August 2008) and have yet to hear from them (it is now October).

Overall:
I am using this as a slide guitar that I leave in open G tuning. It does perform well in this roll now that I have changed pickups and added some different hardware. I would not buy this guitar again if given the chance.

Feature:
I wish it had 4 knobs instead of 3 (two seperate tone knobs). The output jack also gets loose and needs to be tightened once in a while. Other than that everything is alright and the sunburst finish is superb.

Quality:
This guitar is tough and will not break. Great finish and gold plated hardware.

Value:
If i were to buy a guitar for the same price for someone else i would buy this one. This guitar feels better to play than others in it's price range.

Desirability:
looks great

Sound:
sounds good connected to an amp or without one.

Ease of Use:
No compaints about the playability.

Support:
5 year warranty. No support needed so far.

Overall:
You'll be satisfied if you buy thas guitar.
