Peavey razor

I was surprised at how well this guitar played and sounded! Back in my youth i use to play lots of punk and metal. the thing i remember best about this guitar is how well the action was set and how easily you could get artificial harmonics. I dont own it anymore. But If I found one for the right price I may crank out some Sex Pistols tunes on it!
