Peavey Vandenberg making a comeback!!!!

[Baba]

I’m guessing 3k.

This is why I'm NOT "excited" about this.

I bought a pink one, back in 89/90 for $450.00 new. My brain (nor my wallet), simply won't let me buy one for what they will be asking, nor a used one for $1,500 or whatever they are going for nowadays.

Will they offer one in Cadillac Pink?

Yes

 

[FuzzyAce]

Yes

That should make @DrewJD82 very happy then.

 

[Bruce]

I have an appointment to meet him and get some pics!!!! How cool!!!!

 

[Rocco Crocco]

Cool. The OG had a Gibson scale length.

That's a really interesting placement for the Strat pickup; it's like an HS version of the Nightswan. I love the look, but I'd definitely want the neck pickup as close to the neck as possible, and I'd get rid of two frets to get there!

I thought the strat pickup position was interesting as well.

It looks like to me from that poster of Vandenberg on page 1 that the humbucker is slightly slanted with the bass side closer to the bridge (like Jimi).

The original Vandenbergs were 24.75” Gibson scale like the Charvel Fusion and Kramer Nightswan, so the single coil pickup being placed where it is makes sense. Glad they’re doing these with a proper Floyd now but funnily enough Kahler just reissued the Spyder and Steeler trems. I wouldn’t mind seeing one of these with a new Steeler but that’s just me. I don’t mind the Spyder on my HM but a Floyd is a better trem.

I remember him being very tall and that his Peavey model looked absolutely tiny in his hands.

 

[Blix]

I remember liking the neck on the originals, but the position of the single-coil was/is a dealbreaker for me. The 2HB version looks nice.

 

[Baba]

I wonder what, if anything, this will do to the price of the used Vandenbergs?

 

[Bruce]

I was right on the money. According to the Peavey rep, they’re 3k.

Does your wife sing in your band?

 

[Bruce]

Does your wife sing in your band?

Yes

 

[Alex Kenivel]

Yes

Thought she looked familiar (from your promo videos). You and her, @Bob Zaod and his, I guess it's not too uncommon. Johnny and June, etc.

Maybe I can get my wife to sing in a band with me, but who'd watch the brats?

Sorry for the derail! That's one tall MFer

I was hoping they would offer these in two tiers- the $3000 "great" one and another one, maybe Indonesian made, for half that price.

Making the lower-priced one a "gateway" model, then if you really like that one, you might splurge for the pricy one.

But if my only choice is to spend $3000 on it, I just can't. I love the looks of these and have, since they originally came out way back when. But if they basically come out of nowhere with these, having not made them for so many years, and only offer one expensive option - I'm not sure how well these will sell.

I dig the flat black and red finish!
