  • 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.

  • Can a musician please do a review of this guitar?

  • How did you do the pig squeal

  • @shawnathin1508 look up on youtube "How to Play Pinch Harmonics"

  • 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 ....

  • Bad recording mic position, as always... Good review anyway. Cheers.

  • ok, let's be honest, the shape sucks!!!

  • dud ur dime skweels r br00tal

  • glam rock ftw lmao

  • that is one of the ugliest guitars ive seen but it sounds good haha

  • @voteforitnow TRY GUITAR HERO FOR MORE STUPID-SHAPED GUITAR =))

  • @LookAtMyComputer Kind sir, I must redirect you to the Squier SP-10.

  • the 80s were a simpler time

  • does it have 23 frets?

  • How do you make it scream so bad i cant do it!

  • @SonOfPieMan12

    it's called a pinch harmonic,

    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

  • You can tell he was enjoying this guitar!

  • your collector has horrible taste haha

  • i like the look but i dont like the neck :< if it was rosewood it would be so peng but its not its butterz at the moment :)

  • i want one! :D

  • 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!!

  • thats fuckin horrible that thing, and anthony lessons wouldnt help him

  • 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.

  • i think this guy needs to advance to the next level.

  • @terrorking01 ya think lessons would help this guy, or is it pretty hopeless?

  • I want to think that it's the amplifier killing that guitar.

  • Billy Gibbons next guitar..lol

  • he does that little thing at 4:05 in every single video. lol

  • horrible guitar

  • t-model ford has one of these. a black one

  • really wild.. lol

  • Actually that guitar looks cool, I mean, it's different but not [that] ugly!

  • stop saying uuum :@

  • Its like a Gibson Explorer smashed into a Reverse Flying V

  • is it peavey rail humbucker?

  • Line 6? This video is destined to fail.

  • Peavey guitars are underrated, my favorite guitar is my JF1EX

  • Is that a Teisco Del Ray in the background...I had the 4 pu version of that in the early 80s when I was a kid.

  • 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.

  • Who gonna buy that shit???

  • i love that body style ive only got a peavey raptor exp plus

  • thats nice but it needs some bran new strings.

  • 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.

  • What stoned motherfucker made this guitar body?

    Shit, I like interesting guitar bodies but that's just fugly.

  • Like the retarded offspring of the also retarded "reverse flying v" and the explorer

  • @WORLDWaR358 hey fuck you asshole the xplorer is the greatest deth metal guitar ever created .!

  • Ahahaha fuck you for not even comprehending what I said. I love explorers. This peavy looks terrible.

  • Comment removed

  • a 50 watt practice amp.........what do you use on stage.?.LOL. alice, can you play clean??

  • well it's better than the Gibson reverse flying V

  • Definitely.

  • @wolfhalen HEY! THOSE GUITARS ARE.....well yea nvm

  • @wolfhalen Too right. Though, anything is better than the Reverse V.

  • @wolfhalen

    It surely is, the reverse V is the worst looking guitar I have ever seen I swear lol

  • @imixers have you seen the gibson holey series or the shark fin or the tribal

  • @wolfhalen Not if you're playing classic rock...this thing looks retarded, but I'd much prefer a non reverse V, or a Jazzmaster to this thing

  • my uncle has that, but only black. ive played it and its pretty awesome.

  • 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...

  • this guy has an awful picking technique

  • not what guitar is about at all

  • i never said it was you retard. also, its good to have a good picking technique. you guitar rookie

  • rookie? your calling somebody a rookie regarding the "right" technique? so i guess you consider stevie ray a rookie too then...

  • no. if you read, i never said you are a rookie if you have bad technique.

  • 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.

  • lol it was around the same time cliff burton was in metallica

  • I have to agree!!! peavy guitars ''yuck'' they make pretty good amps but they should keep it that way! there guitars blow!!!!

  • actually the predater isnt too bad...i played it at guitar center

  • 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?

  • The Body Is Simular To The HeadStock!

  • Don't forget to bring a Towel!

  • that wasnt funny

  • it wasn't funny, it was hilarious!

  • ur right i had 2 go and my pc auto matically turns off so i had to submit i forgot bout it

  • love David Towel

  • 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.

  • Definitely a 80s design there!

  • More of a Mosher or Metalers Style of Guitar!

  • thats fuckin well smart ahah

  • it looks painfull to play, maybe thats just me

  • has to be the ugliest guitar ever

  • a three year old designed that guitar i swear

  • @RandyRhoadsIsAwesome Meh, I've seen worse.

  • @RandyRhoadsIsAwesome men is from the 80's nothing godd from that deacde

  • @vistritha ibanez's from back then are awesome

  • @RandyRhoadsIsAwesome

    it's based on the peavey logo:)

  • Jesus! Is that a guitar?

  • this guy is retarded

    he dousnt show clean tone

  • hes not showin off the amp hes showin off the guitar

  • idiot

  • i have a 85 razor its black and yellow

  • I have a peavey T-60 that has the same neck, and bridge.  I guess most of their guitars had the same accessories through out the 70's and 80s.

  • Nice guitar, looks comfy! :D

  • i also own a peavey razer but it looks different..

  • sooooooooooooo ugly but sounds soo good!!

  • 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.

  • i also liked my spider2 for metal and nothing else,but the truth is yeah,for a solidstate amp,its metal tone is great!;D

  • Noob

  • i have a peavey red stratocaster type shape its really awesome

  • Comment removed

  • Take it out on-stage, play one song with it and smash it to bits.

  • This guitar would have served well with glam rock. But I wouldn't use this guitar for anything else.

  • What a ridiculous guitar. It's shape serves no purpose.

  • 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.

  • Also. if the shape is bigger, there's probably more wood, more wood more sustain.

  • I have two Razer's both black. Got them on ebay fairly cheap. Great guitar. Peavy quality. American made. Great blade humbucker pups.

  • awesome looking axe~

  • 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

  • that lookos like a mix of a peavey raptor and a gibson explorer

  • 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)

  • dude i dont get why u guys think it sounds like shit...i mean dude come on theres some gud shit on it

  • 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

  • That amp sounds like shit.

  • yes it is

  • Its a budget amp o.O. You get what you pay for.

  • haha

    i don't know why anyone would want to pay for that.

  • I would, if I like the tones. But judging from my experience with Line 6 stuff, I think I'll go for something else.

  • Kurt Kobain would have.

  • my point exactly

  • 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.

  • Looks very comfortable to play.

  • 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.

  • This was my first guitar!! I think it looks like its rocking before u even play it. Whether you love it or hate it, it's definitely a head turner!

  • That guitar had zero tone, mind you it could have been the user, although the line 6 setting he used and the amp itself are pretty bad anyway.

  • nah duudde hes a great player

  • AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    80's guitars rock!

  • that guitar and amp suck!!!

  • u suck!!!!

  • that may be true but not as much as that guitar and amp!

  • It sounded like he played some notes from the "panama" solo as he started tapping and so on..cool.

  • i have the same line 6, got mine for 150$ at a pawn shop haha

  • that Peavey sounds great but looks shit!

  • lawl. 23 frets

  • Looks like something Amir Derakh (from the band "Orgy") would play...

  • around how much is the amp? also the guitar?

  • I'm probably getting a Line 6 Spider III 75 Watt amplifier pretty soon.

  • Looks like an explorer with the end wedge lobbed off and stuck on the front instaed :P

  • it kinda looks like a k :D

  • 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.

  • i had a red one from 84 too. but i bought mine new in 84. my son loves it. i do to.

  • thats just downright ugly

  • im sorry but thats the gayest looking guitar ive ever seen

  • It would be a lot gayer if it were pink, or a "powder blue"-color, like an old guitar I once saw.

  • Nice, I have the same amp.

  • can anyone tell me how you do those screaming bends please..cheers..

  • pinch harmonics... google it

  • thanks mate:)

  • if I was to find one what price am I looking at??

  • tons mate its a 1983 usually the older the guitar the more expensive especially if someones made it extermly famous

  • another odd feature of this guitar is the fact that it has a 23 fret neck.

    I used to have one identical to this one in the mid/late 90's ... should have kept it just because of the crazy shape.

  • UGLY guitar

  • 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.

  • doesnt halen play a strat, thats a fender, he doesnt play a peavey

  • Dude peavy wolfgang i think thats wat he used to play

  • what a piece of shit guitar...

  • is it me or does the amp sound a lil hot there

  • it looks almost like a reversed flying V except it has an extra edge, but flying v have the same length on the top and bottom

  • Reversed V with a bit of explorer :D

  • and what do you get when you put those together

    ugly ;D !!

  • If you're not into 80s guitars then it might look ugly to you (or if you're like 12) so why were you watching the vid?

  • I was bored, and Im not 12 lol I like 80s stuff just that design is a little much

    les pauls ftw!

  • Lol I don't like Les Pauls cos they're uncomfortable to play behind my head. Best sound and playability though but fuck me they're expensive.

  • yeha but its totally worth every cent, and I generally dont play behind my head so I dont worry about that lol

  • i personally like dean guitars better, like the usa soltero is pretty good for the price

  • AXL GUITARS!

  • Oh man i love axl guitars the look of their mayhem series "clutch" is sick.

  • lol. 80s guitars. poison probably played this guitar somewhere

  • it looks very uncomftorble to hold

  • yeeeeeaaaaaa good the sound

  • its kliller. us so good dave.

  • amazing guitar...

  • that guitar is kinda ugly.....

  • It's not kinda ugly it's completely awful looking

  • nothing can be as ugly as the reversed flying V

  • I dare say this one is trying to take the spot of "uglier than the reversed flying v".
