tone on 10 is single coil, 7 and below is humbucker, 1 master volume switch. These guitars are so underrated its sick. They stomp any Fender or Gibson of the same era that wasn't 10 grand out the door from the custom shop.
bought one in a pawn shop back in '85 for a C note . Wish I had it back , can't find one ANYWHERE !! for less than ~ 1 K . Mine was black & still had mud on it ( not dirt clods ... wet mud ) ... probably hadn't been in the pawn shop for 10 minutes . I kick myself in the ass every time I see one ( child of the 80's ) and wish I had kept her . Garage sale junkie to this day , looking for my long lost honey . The RAZER rocked my world and I would give almost anything to get another copy ....
it's somewhat like hitting the string with your pick and thumb at the same time, almost like pinching it between the thumb and the pick. That produces that screaming sound:)
look for it on youtube, type in squealie or pinch harmonic
its cool that the guitar is rare and old and in such great shape. but it looks like crap. i gotta be honest. I'd never be caught dead playing that thing.... Plus i need a floating trem. To me, a guitar isnt complete without a floating trem!!
the problem with this video is it showcases peavey and line 6 , the herpes of the music world. no matter what you try to do to get rid of that crap it just keeps coming back.
Give me an Ibanez Destroyer from that ERA any day of the week over anything from Gibson fromtm the same ERA... The Razors were built well, but not my cup of tea.
Back in the early 80's Peavey guitars were mostly played by Country musicians. The Razer and the Mantis was their way to try to change that image. Like the old Ovation Breadwinners (another fugly guitar) they are starting to become collectible now.
This guitar is so bad it's fun. I wouldn't mind having one hanging around. I betcha it actually sounds really good out of a decent amp, instead of one of those things...
I say Peavey makes some great guitars. I ahve an old A.M. Peavey Predator that is still my favorite player. Absolutley love it. Many Peavey models are fantastic quality.
I think a lot of folks beg to differ! How long have you been in a working band? Do you build guitars like myself? do you really have a qualified opinion?
I loove those hot blade humbukers they had on lots of the 80's guitars.I put a set of those on a Les Paul and they sound amazing.I might get tht spider amp im lovin that sound.
the spider I amp by line 6 was a really good amp but th2 and 3 was not so good.Ok,it was for metalheads or country lovers but nothing else it couldnt cut a nice rock or blues tone no matter how you set the eq.I have owned all of them and the spider 1 was the b est
I really like my spider 2, but you are 100% correct about not being able to find a good rock or blues tone. It's either heavily distorted or clean channel.
the traditional guitar shape allows u to sit down with it comfortably. Italso allows it to baance when your standing with it. some have extended cutaways soyou can reach frets easier. so your wrong. Shape serves a purpose.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
MORE wood =more sustain
more wood ALSO = muddy dull tone & cramped neck from standing with it.
Give me a Gibson Super400 instead
...KEEP the sustain, I'd rather do with out and have a guitar that SOUNDS like a guitar not a muddy circut distortion left over from the hair band 80's. Death to Line Six, Death to Peavey's shit.
Why would want to sustain ANY notes coming out of that Line6....they all sound like such shit, I'd want them to end as soon as possible.
Looks like a very comfortable little guitar to play, its peavey so you can count on it being of quality work , it sounds absolutely vicious ...mean little piece of ass axe...love the look of it .....just one thing i would change about it ......even if it is a collector guitar ....id have to take it to a tech , or builder and get em' to strap a floyd rose on it .....then it will fuck everybody that gets close to it
It really seems that Instrument and accesory manufacturerors are usuallly only known for one thing.Not alot of people know Gibson because of their amps.Or Not alot of people know Line 6 fromt their guitars.Fender is an exception though,what happened there?(P.S I'm not saying that these are bad, I'm just saying they are less achnoledged)
fuck.. i got one of the peavey hp guitars... i spent about 950 on the thing.. its everything i ever wanted... i dont like peavey amps though at all... play really ANY peavey through a marshall amp... magic
Hehe, how do you know about Kurt your a funk guy not grunge anyways my friend got this guitar for free from his uncle and it's in perfect conditon. I played it. It's alright.
ah...because funky musicians are deaf to popular trends? Wow is that a messed up view of the world...as if I never owned a TV or ran across a magazine in the last 15 years?
I actually like th Razor....it reminds me of Bootsy Collins Bass.
I havent seen one of those in years! I had a Peavey Milestone guitar from the 80's a few years back. It was pretty disappointing. They make a Milestone bass now. So trying to get any info on the guitar from Peavey was a pain in the ass.
I had an '84 red Peavy Razer that I bought used in about '92- it wasn't my favorite looking guitar, and the pronounced point off the end could be a nuisance, but it had excellent sound for the 80 bucks I dropped on it, stayed in tune, and I realy liked the stock fretboard on the thing.
It's fun to play all the guitars you can, but Peavey doesn't seem to be interested in making a great guitar, yet. Van Halen doesn't count, he was born to play great regardless of guitar quality. Something we all can't do.
