Peavey JF-2 EX

Peavey introduces its new JF-2 EX guitar, a rockabilly flavored, archtop semi-hollowbody based on Peavey's JF-1 jazz/fusion guitar.

The Peavey JF-2 combines the playing comfort of the JF-1 with high-output pickups, a vintage tremolo tailpiece and expressive sparkle-paint finishes. The JF-2 also features a thin, lightweight maple ply guitar body with solid veneer top; mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard; Grover tuning keys; and cream binding on the body. The guitar's electronics package includes two volume controls, two tone controls and a three-way, toggle-style pickup selector. The distinctive stylings of the JF-2 are complemented by its unique Peavey sound.

Features:

• 24 3/4" scale with 22 frets
• Lightweight, maple-ply semi-hollowbody
• Slightly angled, set mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard
• Vintage tremolo tailpiece and articulating bridge
• Chrome hardware and Grover tuning keys
• Two high-output Peavey mini-bucking pickups
• Two volume controls and two tone controls
• Three-way, toggle-style pickup selector

 

[GreatDane]

It's interesting, but I'm not that into it.

 

[PunkKitty]

Meh.

 

[Deep Eddy]

Not digging it. Hate the finish. I don't care for the "F" holes, but I like the mini-hums on the hollowbody.

 

[Guitar Heel]

gross.

 

[Knox in Box]

Didn't see the Peavey on the truss rod cover so I went through the pictures expecting to see a price of $8,000 or something ridiculous. So I guess it's not bad for a peavey, I actually do like that.

 

[Chad]

pass

 

[Muppet]

Hmmmmm, on paper I should despise this this, and yet, it's strangely appealing. Would.

 

[Stratguy]

Can't I'd buy it without hearing it, but I'd definitely test drive it.

 

[jaxn slim]

It's cool except:
- gold sparkle
- rectangle inlays
- Peavey

 

[jelloman]

Yeah, no...not so much...

 

[Coralkong]

I have the JF-1 version of that (tobacco sunburst, better F-Holes, and no trem).

It's a nice cheap guitar, actually.

This one, however, is just too much for me.

Mine looks like this.

 

[DFB]

No

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

I'd give it a spin.

 

[ellengtrgrl]

It's OK I guess. Lose the gold sparkle, and I might be more interested.

 

[Dogsinplastic]

I like the idea of a thinline with mini-HBs, but I generally loathe sparkle finishes...this one is no exception.

 

[vintage clubber]

:rawk:

 

[Denverdave]

With a different finish I might pick it up and strum it in a store. Love good mini-hums (if those are any good). But considering Peavey guitars are overwhelmingly weak (with a few exceptions) I'd probably see the headstock and leave it on the wall. No thanks.

Meh.

+1.

 

[CBHScott]

As I am back into a semihollow phase: would. Vigorously.
