(ALBANY,GA. USA)

I AM 42 YRS OLD AND HAVE JUST PICKED PLAYING THE GUITAR I PURCHASED A PEAVEY ELECTRIC GUITAR RAPTOR EXP IT WAS ONLY 120.00 BUT I WAS READING THAT IF YOU BUY A CHEAP GUITAR THAT SOUNDS BAD IT WILL MORE THAN LIKELY DISCOURAGE YOU FROM LEARNING IS THIS TRUE? IF SO WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD GUITAR AND AMP TO START WITH?I WANT TO KEEP IT BELOW 1200.00 ONLY IF NEED BE.

I swapped out the pickups in my Peavey Raptor Plus EXP and it sounds a lot better. I installed a Dimarzio DP100 in the bridge for total rocking sound and the middle is a HS2 and the neck is a HS3 for clean and blues. This allows this otherwise cheap sounding guitar to sound good.

On the bad side, the pickups cost more than the guitar and I will need to swap out the pickguard which was warped probably due to the original owner leaving it in a hot car.

Costs- Free guitar
DP100 Humbucker - 70.00
HS2 Hum cancelling single coil - 60.00
HS3 Hum cancelling single coil - 60.00
Pickguard - 30 bucks plus I will have to carve it out myself since the fender one won't fit.
