Peavey Cropper Classic Guitar
Peavey Cropper Classic Guitar

Burn 'em up with gritty, blues-powered soul.

The Cropper Classic is the result of a collaboration between Peavey and legendary guitarist Steve Cropper. Combining Steve's insight with Peavey's expertise in guitar manufacturing resulted in a versatile, fully-professional instrument with a personality all its own. The single-cutaway body is made from select maple and mahogany for crisp attack and warm sustain. An exclusive aluminum neck joint completely eliminates the heel for total access to all frets while rigidly anchoring the neck to the body. 2 Peavey custom-wound pickups... one Db2 dual blade single-coil-sized pickup in the neck position and one Db4 quad blade humbucker in the bridge position... supply plenty of output with low-noise operation. Volume and tone knobs plus a 3-way pickup selector with mini toggle for splitting the bridge pickup provide a wide variety of tonal possibilities. Other features include a 25" scale, 22-fret, one-piece maple neck with rosewood fretboard; die-cast tuners; Maxcess® aluminum reinforced neck joint; figured maple top on mahogany body; and gold hardware. Includes hardshell case. If your needs include a custom-designed guitar with outstanding performance and versatility, the Cropper Classic will exceed all of your expectations.

Features:

  • 25" scale maple neck w/rosewood fretboard
  • 22 frets
  • Die-cast tuners
  • Maxcess® aluminum-reinforced neck joint
  • Figured maple top with mahogany body
  • Gold hardware
  • One Db2 dual blade single-coil sized pickup in neck position
  • One Db4 quad blade humbucker in bridge position
  • 3-way pickup selector with mini toggle switch for splitting bridge pickup
  • Master volume and tone controls
