Description
The Peavey Raptor Custom delivers classic style with enhanced sustain and precise tone. Its exclusive PowerPlate™ technology eliminates dead spots while increasing sustain, and wide pole piece single-coil pickups provide a more focused sound. A vintage-style steel bridge enhances string energy transfer for improved resonance. Designed for comfort and performance, it features a solid basswood body, 25.5” scale length, ergonomic tuner placement, and a 5-way pickup selector with hum-canceling in select positions.

PowerPlate™ Technology
Peavey’s exclusive PowerPlate™ is a metal plate embedded in the back of the headstock, designed to enhance sustain and resonance by increasing the vibration transfer. This innovation minimizes dead spots on the fretboard, ensuring a more balanced and consistent tone across all frets, making every note ring out with clarity.

Wide Pole Piece Pickups
The specially designed single-coil pickups feature wider pole pieces, creating a larger string window for better note articulation and improved tonal balance. This design enhances string response, delivering a more focused and dynamic sound, making it ideal for a variety of playing styles, from clean rhythms to expressive lead tones.
