Set neck. Mahogany body.

Overview

The Jack Daniel's Electric EXP guitar by Peavey has all the style, tone and feel at a price that's right. Peavey and Jack Daniel's have partnered together to bring an exclusive line of custom guitars and amps to market that are already making a hit with musicians, as well as collectors and fans. This single-cutaway Peavey Jack Daniel's electric guitar is constructed with resonant mahogany for the body and neck while a solid, 5A-quilt maple arch top finishes off the look. Peavey's patented Dual-Compression Bridge system, a string-through design, creates a metal-to-metal connection for singing sustain and stronger string presence. These guitars also feature ebony fretboards for a smooth attack; two patented, dual-wound, hum-canceling pickups provide high output and unlimited tone. To complete the package we've added chrome Grover-style tuners and chrome knobs with Old No. 7 stamped on top.

The size of the guitar is what is so impressive. It feels like what the headstock (back) says, "Peavey Custom Shop Designed Instrument". Well, custom to me about describes this. I would have maybe used some other electronis, pickups, etc. if I were to have built it but I think I would have falledn short of my own expectations. This one is a great addition to my family. This one will grow with me for a long time. There will be others but, I will always cherish the time I spend with it. I am looking into other Peaveys as well. They are terrific to deal with and make a fine product.

Sound
This sounds like a cross between a Gibby LP Studio (bridge) with kind of this tele type of neck warmth that I absolutely fell in love with. In 17 years of playing I have almost never used the neck pickup so this is surprising.

Features
I do like the construction of the guitar very much. It seems to hold up well. The input jack popped after a month but I got it to reseat with no issues. I was pulling the cable a bit harder than usual so I don't blame Peavey. I love the neck on the guitar. It's scale is a little shorter but I love it. I get to feel like I hover over the instrument a little and get greater control. The pickups are incredible. Peavey should, if they don't already, start selling their PU's on the market.

Ease of Use
I would say it is rather easy to use but it's a guitar so what would be hard… read more about playing?

Quality
I fell in love with what looked to be a great, long lasting finish and the hardware looked rather sturdy as well. I am now pretty certain that insofar as other guitars in the price range go, that this holds up really well. The input jack problem was random at worst.

Value
I think it's worth the price paid for it. It is good value when compared to other instruments in it's range.

Manufacturer Support
I e-mailed Peavey on a few issues and they were great. the response was on topic, helpful and timely. Based on these merits alone, I would continue to buy their products.

The Wow Factor
I grew to like the Jack Daniels T-Shirt like advertisement on it, but underneath the muted flash of the instrument was a great polish. Peavey uses some good stuff to bring out the guitars finish. This is black but it was well done.
