Designed by GP Art Director Paul Haggard using classic Guitar Player covers, this one-of-a-kind beauty can be yours. You can enter online at guitarplayer.com. Check out page 174 for more details. An Adobe Systems “Site of the Day” award winner—and a “Best in Show” honoree at Summer NAMM 2007—the online Peavey Custom Shop employs an exclusive graphics portal and a patented “ArtGuitar” printing system to give users the ability to print any JPEG image on their guitars. In addition, players can customize their Peavey HP Special from a palette of 16 million colors (solid or burst), and also choose a carved or flat top, and select from a menu of body woods (basswood, alder, ash, or mahogany), top woods (quilt or flame maple), fretboards (birdseye maple, rosewood, ebony—all with choice of inlays or no inlays), and hardware (chrome, black, gold). “We’re inviting musicians deeper into the design process,” says Hartley Peavey, founder and CEO of Peavey Electronics. There’s only one Special Edition Guitar Player 40th Anniversary Model—which makes it one hell of a collector’s item if you’re lucky enough to win it—but if you want to design your own collector’s guitar, click to peaveycustomshop.com and let your imagination run wild!
