NAMM/Peavey 2005

Here's a look at the new HP Special guitars on display at the Peavey Booth (all photos by Michelle Barnes)

All of 'em! The HP Special - I believe it is called "Moon Burst" - birdseye neck, quilt top! Excellent feel, plays *better* than some custom shop Wolf Specials I've played. Yeah yeah, I'm a poser, but I'm a happy dude with that guitar! Here is a blue burst - one of the prototypes, maybe the first. Very hot. Same axe. Blue burst again. Yeah, it's hard to put down. Trying to get the pic just right! Here's the Gold top w/ Rosewood neck. Felt great and sounded amazing. Same deal... Dweezil with the Gold top through his Peavey Wiggy amp. My buddy Wes on bass! The Dweez...the HP. (from Japan) Kenta, Soul Toul, Marty Friedman, T.M. Stevens, Mike Barnes Eric Johnson & Me watching Stevie Wonder give an impromptu show.
