Identity crisis + Predator? project

Post by benindavis » Tue Sep 19, 2017 9:22 am

HI all!

So, I came across this Predator? in an Antique store ugh! :| .. the tag said.. "project guitar $8" yeah... $8...!? no-brainer!!! Obviously someone did some hacking on it. I have a double humbucker from a 77 Fender ( at least thats what I was told it was) that will fit into the middle hole that was gouged out of the pickguard (although I may replace the guard and opt for a single coil) The pot knobs appear to be from a Tele, and there was no back plate ( big deal). The electronics seem to be all there, though I haven't had a chance to check for function. The big problem other than beauty, is that there is no neck plate. I have contacted Peavey, but alas, they were very little help. :roll: So after an exhaustive search online with little result my big question is this : Is the neck plate from what appears to be a '94 USA made Predator the same configuration as any other Peavey guitar? I see plenty of Peavey neck plates on ebay but none that are specifically for the Predator. Also.. if anyone can tell me the exact model of this guitar and if this neck actually goes with the body that would be really cool!!

Here are some pics

Welcome benindavis!

There's some info on neck plates in this old thread that may help; https://peavey.com/forum/viewtopic.php? ... neck+plate

And if you scroll to the bottom of this page, there is some serial/date info; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Peavey_guitars

I think your neck and body are different years, but from the same era.
