Of my 11 usa peavey's 4 are tracers.. I do luv em... I'll post some pix of them all but for now this is one of the tracer customes. I painted it to replicate a finish I saw on a zion guitar that i liked. I also modded the headstock a abit and refretted it with jescar med, jumbo fret wire.

this one's modded quit a bit.. I reshaped the headstock, hipshot locking tuners, put in a two point trem and routed out for a humbucker in the neck position. dimarzio gravity storm in the bridge and mo joe in the neck

this is a custom that i bought new in I think 89 or 90... it started my love affair with peavey guitars.. Ive made all sorts of changes to it over the years, but it was only recently that i replaced the trem. I didnt really need to, those kahlers will last forever but i wanted something with a softer touch.. Its most recent paint incarnation was to mimic a carvin that i thought looked cool...

Nice Tracers wallnut!
The blue ones paint scheme looks similar to a stock green one that I came across a while ago...
I changed the Kahler out on mine to an Ibanez Lo Pro Edge because the Spyder was just too stiff feeling..
I was going for a Lynch/DeMartini vibe vibe with mine, the humbucker/single pickup configuration is my preference,
I really like the neck profile on the Tracers, it's like it was made specifically for my hand!
Is that a Gotoh 1996t on the flame topped one? I have them installed on most of my guitars, I think it's one the best affordable aftermarket units available....

I guess were somewhat Kindred spirits. The neck profile is why I love the tracer so much. And that is indeed a gotoh 1996t. Swapped it out for the same reason, the spyder being a bit stiff. and you cant beat the gotoh.. I believe they make the low pro and other trems for Ibanez.

Hey JimPV,

What kind of pickup is that zebra you have in the bridge?

Here is what I know about that pickup----
14k
Ceramic magnet
4 wire lead
Not sure who manufactured it, I found it at one of the local pawn shops..
Sounds killer in the Tracer and in my B.C.Rich Gunslinger where it now resides... a Screamin' Demon went back in the Tracer..

Just got this in the mail today. It needs a neck adjustment. Anyone know what size wrench? Also, anyone know which model?

Thanks
