Peavey black guitar

This guitar is in excellent playing condition with heavy but beautiful cosmetic wear. It’s a true road warrior — the kind of instrument you grab when you want something reliable that already has soul baked in. The wear doesn’t hurt value in the way a collector might think; for a working musician or tone chaser it adds value. You’re looking at a guitar that’s probably worth $225–$280 in this condition

1995 Peavey Predator Electric Guitar – Serial #07576582

This is a genuine 1995 Peavey Predator — a no-nonsense, Stratocaster-style workhorse from one of Peavey’s strongest eras. Built tough and voiced to cut, this guitar has spent nearly three decades being played, not babied, and it carries the kind of authentic, road-worn character that new instruments simply cannot replicate.

Condition

This Predator is in solid, fully functional playing condition and ready to gig or record right now. The black finish has developed a beautiful, honest patina from decades of real use — deep scratches, chips, and dings concentrated along the lower bout, edges, and belly cut. These marks aren’t flaws; they’re the guitar’s story. They give it that perfect, natural relic’d look that players chase. The maple neck is straight, smooth, and wonderfully broken-in with a fast, comfortable feel. Frets still have good height and play cleanly with no buzzing.

The cream pickguard has aged gracefully. All electronics are original and work perfectly — pots are quiet, switch is crisp, and the single-coils deliver that classic bright, snappy Peavey sparkle with excellent quack in the in-between positions. The tremolo bridge operates smoothly. One minor note: a single pickguard mounting screw is absent (very common on guitars of this age and an easy, inexpensive fix if you want it perfect).

Overall, this is a tough, soulful player guitar with zero structural issues. It feels inspiring the moment you strap it on — the kind of instrument that makes you want to keep playing.

Why This Guitar?

This one has the added bonus of real-world character that only comes from years of being loved and played. Whether you’re looking for a reliable gigging beater, a killer mod platform, or a piece of 90s Peavey history with serious mojo, this Predator delivers.
