Peavey's new online guitar builder

Posted by Jon

Tay Zonday - Chocolate Rain Peavey Custom
Peavey have just launched a Beta version (how very web 2.0!) of their new online custom shop guitar builder, mind you the design is more web 0.3… anyway the difference seems to be that you can now add custom graphics to the guitar by uploading a photo on the website, there doesn’t seem to be any indication to users about what the resolution of the image should be in order to be printed successfully on the guitar without the photo degrading which is a bit dodgy, some people are going to end up with very pixelated images! Nothing happened when I clicked on buy so maybe isn’t possible to really buy through this tool yet, after all it is a beta version. It doesn’t have the finesse or the design quality of the First Act online custom shop tool but it does the job, gives you a summary and a price and most importantly it is a lot of fun being able to apply your own graphics. Check out my Tay Zonday special (left), “Chocolate Rain“.
