Peavey launches new Composite Acoustics

Ronnie Dungan • MMR Global • July 19, 2017

Peavey’s Composite Acoustics brand has launched a revamped range of its carbon fibre acoustic guitars.

The one-piece neck/body construction guitars made of carbon fibre are known for their durability, sleek design, and consistent tone. The new lines feature an easy-to-clean black satin finish on the back for increased durability.

”A significant benefit of carbon fibre guitars is their ability to withstand extreme variations in climate conditions. This means that even in intensely hot or humid conditions, the instruments will stay in tune longer than traditional wooden guitars while also retaining their precise setup,” said Courtland Gray, COO of Peavey.

Already offered in a range of colours, the guitars will now be available with a transparent red or transparent blue finish. The proprietary carbon fibre bridge and saddle materials provide maximum sound transfer, while the optional L.R. Baggs Active Element pickup system is a premium option for easy and clear amplification. The guitars all feature black chrome hardware.

The popular GX and classic Legacy models also received additional upgrades. Each guitar will now be equipped with custom made 19:1 ratio Hipshot tuning machines. Both models also feature a centre sound hole with abalone sound hole ring, a proprietary reinforced polymer fretboard with 20 medium stainless steel frets, and a hardshell case.
