Jason Becker Signature!!

Sabre · #1 01-06-2007, 09:39 AM

Peavey have apparently been really pushy with Jason about releasing a signature model of his old Peavey, the natural stain guitar with numbered inlays, which can be seen below.

Apparently only 100 will be made to see what the demand is for future models of the guitar. Originally Jackson wanted to do a run of Custom Shop guitars for Jason after they were receiving phone call after phonecall asking if they could build one or, if there was a model planned in the future.

The guitar will be shown at this years NAMM, there more info on Jasons latest blog on his Myspace, I can't wait for this one.

Too bad he can't play it. If they ever legalize stem-cell research, Jason needs to be first in line.

The music industry is quite hippocritical these days.
It's all about the money and huge corporate profits.
Too bad that they're using genius like Jason Becker for their filthy work.
They don't give a damn 'bout him,and obviously just want to sell the product by using his name on it.
Very miserable.

Oh No, no. Sorry, that came across the wrong way. He's really stoked about having one and working with them as much as he can, he gets to choose what goes on with it, I should have edited that, sounds pretty wrong.

Sounds like great news.

Will it come with the ability to play like Jason mapped into it ?
I only ask this as I tried an YJM model in a shop once and it didn't make me sound anything like him ?

I always thought those were pretty cool, I'll have to check it out. Any specs on it at all?

Nope, it's only happening pretty much as we speak so they need to build them pretty quick for NAMM. Only specs I know of is he gets what he wants in a sig guitar, as long as it's generally like the 'Numbered Peavey' pictured above.

Hopefully it's got the same coloured pickups of the actual ones he used (I believe he had the DiMarzio PAF Pro neck??).

Nice, hopefully a good amount of money will be raised for him and his family. He deserves it.

I thought he was dead.
Forgive my stupidity....................

I would absolutely love one.
This is probably the best news guitar-wise I have heard in a while. Jason deserves everything he gets. He's a legend - simple.

I reckon the price will be pretty steep too, but no doubt worth every penny.
