The Devin Townsend Supermegathread! - Page 18

Just as an addition, Budda amps are owned by Peavey now too. So he is all out peavey. He also made a comment on his forum about why peavey, praising their willingness to work with him and basically give him whatever he wants, and really quick too.
He is also quick to point out how awesome ESP was/is.

i don´t really think there´s anything bad about endorsing something like peavey for guitars. when you´re an endorsee, you get the top-quality stuff, and you get exactly what you ask them for. i´m sure the custom shop guitars aren´t made by the people who put together the amps, and they probably aren´t designed by the amp designers, and they´re not mass-produced. they probably have good luthiers

remember Wes from limp bizkit getting a signature with yamaha, and everyone going "omgwtfyamahasux!"? when actually, the quality of what they made for him was really good, and innovative as well.

i´m sure it´s going to rule at least as much as his ESP stuff, and the one in the pic looks really really nice!

and about vintage stuff, it´s kinda wrong to say that devin is doing vintage stuff, considering he doesn´t play anything remotely vintage with it :P

drmosh · 04-01-2009, 06:59 AM

yamaha makes some awesome production guitars too though, and peavey clearly does too

darren · 04-01-2009, 08:05 AM

Too often, people's impressions of a brand are tainted by their experiences with them. ESP protected themselves from the "shitty import" backlash by creating the LTD brand. The same has happened with Squier and Epiphone so the "parent" brand doesn't get hurt by sub-par products in the lower reaches of their product line.

Most people's primary experience with Yamaha are those crap guitars that come in those starter packs sold at Costco and Wal-Mart. Few people have played a nice, high-end Yamaha, which are at least as good as a Fujigen-built Ibanez.

Peavey has made some dogs of guitars and amps over the years, but i hear their high-end stuff is fantastic. I've never played a Wolfgang or HP Special, but they certainly have a lot of fans. If they're putting together a high-end seven for Devin, that's nothing but good news.

stuh84 · 04-01-2009, 08:08 AM

I've played one of the mid level Wolfgangs, and I owned a Peavey Generation EXP. The Generation was a nice guitar, had a really good neck on it, and for the price I paid, having a piezo system involved was just insane. Great guitar until it was stolen

The Wolfgang was an amazing guitar, the necks on them were some of the best I've ever played. If these possible Devin 7's can have necks similar in quality to the Wolfgangs, I think we're in for a treat if they ever go production

This thread is thus far extremely informative and chock-full of win. Thankyou people, for being my source of Devynews! Group hug.

Truth ^^

I played a couple of high-end SG's in the very early 90's and they were as good as anything else I had played to that point. I couldn't fault a single aspect of their design or construction and their playability/tone was second to none. That said, some of the Yamaha models also around at that time were ....ing bogging

Peavy can definately make quality guitars - the Vendenburg sigs were absolutely first rate, and I know the EVH models were very good so there's no reason why we should doubt that a Peavy 7 String Devin Townsend sig won't be amazing.

Excuse me, I just came a bit after saying that.

Anyone who has played a Peavey Wolfgang wouldn't have any doubt they can build an awesome guitar when they want to, easily one of the best guitars I've played in my time.

Peavey built the Vandenberg sig, one of the sickest late 80s shred guitars ever. I remember when they came out and my local guitar shop got one in, in black. It was...
beautiful.

MFB · 04-01-2009, 11:07 PM

The guitar sounds like it's gonna be brutal. Surprised at the Area 61 since I don't know anyone who uses them.
