The wear is consistent with normal use and age and does not detract significantly from the overall appearance of the guitar.The guitar has been set up with medium-low action and plays great up and down the neck.This example is equipped with its factory Kahler tremolo system and includes the tremolo arm.The guitar weighs 9.0 lbs and includes an older aftermarket hardshell case.About This ModelThe Peavey Impact 1 comes from an interesting period of Peavey's USA guitar production during the mid-1980s.While vintage USA-made models such as the T-60 have become increasingly well known, the Impact Series is encountered far less frequently and represents Peavey's move toward the more performance-oriented electric guitar designs that became popular during the 1980s.The Impact 1 features the unmistakable styling of the era, with its sculpted double-cutaway body, pointed headstock, versatile pickup configuration, and player-focused hardware.A particularly cool feature of this example is the factory-installed Kahler tremolo system. Kahler bridges were a major part of the high-performance guitar movement of the 1980s and were used by numerous manufacturers and professional players during the period.Combined with its USA construction and Grey finish, this is a distinctive piece of mid-'80s Peavey guitar history and a cool alternative to the company's better-known vintage models.Condition:UsedNice overall cosmetic condition for its ageExcellent playing conditionVarious small nicks from normal useLight surface scratchesSome light cosmetic wear on neckLight worming on back of bodyWear is consistent with age and normal playMedium-low actionPlays greatDetails:Brand: PeaveyModel: Impact 1Year: 1985Finish: GreyMade in USAFactory Kahler tremolo systemWeight: 9.0 lbsMedium-low actionIncluded:1985 Peavey Impact 1Kahler tremolo armOlder aftermarket hardshell caseThis is a really cool example of a mid-1980s USA-made Peavey that you don't see nearly as often as models like the T-60 or Falcon.
