Rare Vintage Peavey Impact 1 USA-Made 1980s Superstrat in Killer Red!

This is a sharp-looking Peavey Impact 1 from the mid-1980s (1985–1987), made in the USA during Peavey’s golden era of innovative guitar design. The bright red finish pops beautifully and gives it that classic 80s metal/rock attitude. Key Features:

  • Solid Mahogany Body with sleek double-cutaway superstrat shape
  • Bolt-on Maple Neck with 25.5" scale, 22 frets, and dot inlays — fast and comfortable
  • Dual Humbuckers mounted directly into the body for strong, punchy tone
  • Kahler tremolo — dives and pulls up with excellent tuning stability
  • OHSC
  • Black hardware and controls for a stealthy, aggressive look

The Impact series was Peavey’s answer to the superstrat craze of the era. These guitars are known for excellent build quality, great playability, and surprisingly versatile tones — everything from tight rhythm crunch to soaring leads. This example is in solid playing condition with good fret life, a straight neck, and that unmistakable vintage Peavey vibe. Perfect for collectors of 80s USA Peaveys, rock/metal players, or anyone who wants a unique, high-performance vintage guitar that stands out from the usual suspects.
