Peavey Session Guitar Wins Guitar Player Editors' Pick Award

The Peavey Session electric guitar has earned the coveted Editors Pick Award from Guitar Player magazine in a roundup-style review of more than 30 guitars under $500.

TheGuitar Player editorial staff declared the Peavey Session, a magnificent machine for shredders and rockers alike … almost like 'stealing' a high-end, high-price guitar for super-small bucks, in its December 2011 issue. The Session earned perfect scores for its workmanship and playability, and scored high marks for versatility, sound, vibe and value.

Crafted with a chambered basswood body, hard-rock maple neck and a genuine rosewood fretboard, the Peavey Session guitar is where traditional spirit meets modern design perfection. Peavey's special compound radius fretboard allows deep bending in the upper register, yet retains a vintage feel in the lower register, with a comfortable, ergonomically shaped neck profile. A sculpted, sturdy five-bolt joint anchors the satin-finished neck to an offset, double-cutaway body.

Somewhere at a point where superhero paint jobs, traditionally inspired design, and a heavy-rocking attitude meet, lives the new Peavey Session, wrote Dimitri Sideriadis in the December 2011 issue of Premier Guitarmagazine. The Session is a breathy and bright-sounding guitar that can easily cut through the mix in a variety of musical settings.

The Peavey Session is designed for the ultimate in tonal versatility. Two coil-tapped Peavey-designed humbucking pickups give players the choice between humbucking and single-coil tones at the bridge and neck positions, with the ability to tap one pickup at a time or both at once.

The Peavey Session is available now from authorized Peavey retailers. Please visit www.peavey.com/dealerlocator to find the dealer nearest you.
