An HP signed by Hartley Peavey: Peavey DNA in a guitar with character
Founded in 1965 by Hartley Peavey, the Peavey brand has built a solid reputation in the world of instruments and amplification. The HP 2 takes its founder's initials: a deliberate nod to the pursuit of performance, with a design combining artisanal methods and technical choices made for demanding guitarists. The 10-degree angled headstock, Schaller tuners, and chrome hardware reinforce this premium positioning, both in terms of looks and stability.
For which guitarist and styles?
The Peavey HP 2 Poplar Burl is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want a precise, stable electric guitar comfortable with fast playing. Its double-locking vibrato and highly controllable humbuckers make it ideal for rock, metal, hard rock, and modern styles requiring tight palm-mutes, controlled bends, and pronounced vibrato effects. Thanks to the push-pulls, it can also cover clearer and more dynamic registers when the song demands it.
The sound
The combination of a basswood body and a flamed maple veneer favors balance: present mids, clear attack, and good definition, ideal for distortion. The flamed maple neck and flamed maple fingerboard add brightness and responsiveness, much appreciated in tight rhythm playing as well as solos. The two Peavey custom humbuckers, treated to reduce noise and feedback, deliver a dense and stable sound at high volume; their direct body mounting enhances response and precision. With the 3-position selector switch and two push-pulls, you can go from a massive tone to sharper and more airy timbres in split mode, without losing the instrument's modern identity.
