Anybody try a Peavey Generation EX tele?
I bought two at great prices: 149 US each and they are sweet high gain type teles, nothing thin about it. Nice guitars. Alder solid bodies, vintage style tuners, beautiful maple neck with maple fingerboard and some really great tone thru a great amp.
Anyone have one? Any comments to share? I'd like to get the Generation EX custom with the two humbuckers.

There is a boy I go see sometimes at the clubs.. Dunno if its the EX or EXP but his is tele shaped with a S/S/H setup with front and back binding around the body . HE plays it thru a Crate Combo and for Country and Blues it sounds very very good in his hands.. Nice burst and a very good looking guitar on the stage.

It seems that model has been discontinued. The only online retailer that showed any is MF, and that model is the Hum/Hum model only @ $199.00.
Where did you get yours for $149.00 Duff?
Regular Fretter
Where
I got them at a local store in Pa. Some site had them for 149 and I bought that in and they matched the price. They were asking 220 already marked down from 299.

So I got two: a three tone burst and a butterscotch. Both are great. I want to sell some of my lower quality guitars.

They have one left
I think they will ship. The one they have left is a tobacco sunburst good looking and playing guitar. Standard two pickup, hot, tele type. Quite nice actually.
They will ship, I'm sure. I can give you a phone number. If you quote my name and deal you can probably get it for the same price. Let me know.

These are really the sleeper guitars that once they are discovered everyone will be all over them. They are an amazing value. I actually like them a lot more than the MIM Fender Teles and most American (not all) Teles that I've played.
I've been gigging with mine and it flat out wails and I can get a lot of different sounds out of it. It looks good too. Initially I wanted a different bridge pickup but after using it and discovering how to use the tone knob with the bridge pickup there is almost no way that I'm going to swap it out. It works great.

Yeah, I'd like their number, if you would Duff. You can PM me with the info.Originally Posted by Duff
Is this tobacco burst one a two humbucker version? Or is it a single bridge/humbucker neck?
Custom Deluxe
5-way switch? Looks like a cool guitar, does the middle neck pickup combo sound more like a strat? Can you still use the neck + bridge combo?
I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

Pups
No neck and bridge combination on my new black one "Nigel", means black in Dutch or some Western European language.
But, I understand that the mod can be made and I'm interested in having it done.
Also, the Vintage Generation Ex has a humbucker in the neck and a standard tele pup in the bridge. It interests me a lot. They are hot. The custom's h'buckers are not hot. The triple singles are relatively hot.
I might modify my Squire std tele to have a covered humbucker, or even an open Seymour Duncan '59, in the neck. I wonder how this sound would blend in the middle position. I don't know if you could balance them out with just one tone and volume pot. Might have to have new pots put in and then you are getting into territory where the Squire Custom II w 2 duncan designed P90s looks more reasonable. Played it last night. Very nice with great lows and screaming highs. Quite loud at idle of course, being p90s, even Duncan designed.
That Peavey Generation Ex Vintage really sounds nice and hot too.

Duff - mine is a HSS exactly like the one in the pic. Build quality seems excellent and the neck in particular is much nicer to me than the one on the Pacifica I used to have. When Ive played it a while and strung it/set the intonation etc I'll be better placed to review it but Im very pleased with it. I wanted a tele with strat like pickups/switching so this was a good buy, when I upgrade the pickups (probably to SWINESHEAD pickups, a fantastic UK builder, check the site) I might also fit a coil tap on a pull- up pot. The binding is a nice touch at this price too.

I don't name my guitars, but I will refer to this as joining the BUG Club Butt Ugly Guitar.
A lot of us never saw anything pleasing by it's looks, but like an ugly dog, it tends to warm up to you.
