The Peavey HP2 is a handcrafted guitar that mixes classic style with a modern identity. The carved top, offset asymmetrical body is built for balance, making it difficult to put down. Spec'd with a maple top over basswood, this guitar is a visual knockout, too. The initial run of 400 instruments features wood with a real provenance—Peavey stored it for the last three decades in a safe and secure environment, waiting for the proper time to release it to the world. That time is now.

Peavey entrusted some of the best luthiers in Europe to build the HP2. The neck and fretboard are cut from a single piece of birdseye maple and finished with stress-relieved lamination. An easy-access steel torsion rod is reinforced with graphite bars for enhanced strength, making the HP2 more than ready for the rigors of the road. Schaller tuners will keep your intonation in check; a 10-degree tilt-back headstock helps prevent string breakage no matter how seriously you shred.

The HP2 is powered with two custom-wound humbuckers that supply optimal output and tonal response. If your game is high gain, a two-step wax-dipping process keeps feedback at bay and ensures ultra-low noise operation. The humbuckers are also mounted directly to the body, eliminating high volume squeal. Work your tonal magic with the 3-way Switchcraft toggle to select pickups in up, center and down configurations. Two push/pull pots split each ’bucker individually for single-coil sounds.

A Peavey/Floyd Rose-licensed double-locking tremolo is the finishing touch, making the HP2 a supremely versatile instrument for the passionate player. It comes with a hardshell case.
