Peavey list of guitars & years made

Post by Vegastouch » Wed Jul 13, 2011 1:16 am

From Wikipedia but this is a good list to look up the year your guitar was made and where. A lot of the guitar dates are not listed for whatever reason but its th only one i could find. Bass models, not showing any dates.
Please note any discrepensies if you know of any.
For instance, i have a Peavey Predator AX which on this list says was made in 1995-1996 but using the serial number chart below, my numbers are 0694xxxx which falls in the 1994 catagory. So not sure how that works.

Re: Peavey list of guitars & years made

I updated some of the Generation and Firenza information on the Peavey Guitar Wikipedia page, but unfortunately, other people have come in and made edits that don't make sense. For example, the Impact Series section is now pretty confusing.

It's also tough because for whatever reason, Peavey doesn't seem to see any value in having accurate information out there for their older stuff, and Wikipedia's moderators/editors seem very anti-Peavey.

When I tried to start a Wikipedia page about the history of the Bandit amplifier, it got deleted as "advertising". For some reason, Mesa Boogie, Marshall, and Fender amps are all allowed to have their own Wikipages, but not Peaveys...

Oh well... It's not my battle. I don't have the time or energy for that stuff, especially if Peavey isn't willing to commit any resources to it. If/when Peavey decides to commit some resources to insuring that the information about their company and products is correct and accurate, let me know and I'll be happy to help out. :idea:

The list is missing some info.
Patriot Series
Patriot (made in USA 1983-1986)
Patriot Plus (made in USA 1983-1986)
I have an '89 Patriot (0370 serial). It was a special edition, Single pickup version, no pickguard, available only in Satin Red, or Satin Black. The headstock is slightly different in shape, and is missing the border pinstripe, like the earlier Patriot had. I'd post pics, but don't use image hosting...

Peavey said my serial number did not show up. It is from a DW-2 acoustic guitar, serial # 1ARCB1300269. Any help deciphering would be appreciated.
