Peerless Wizard Standard Sunburst 2009 Hollow-Body Electric Guitar

This is a Peerless Wizard Standard Hollow-Body Electric Guitar in Sunburst finish. Established in 1970, Peerless Guitars are renowned for their high-quality, affordable archtop and semi-hollow body guitars. Having built for such major brands as Gibson and Epiphone before focusing on their own guitars, Peerless have been well equipped with the right knowledge and tools to create some truly stunning and unique instruments.

Made in South Korea in 2009, this guitar consists of a Flamed Maple top, a Maple body, a Maple neck, and a 20-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include a Tune-o-matic bridge, closed-back die-cast sealed tuners, a Rosewood string-thru tailpiece, and a trio of Peerless P90 pickups. These pickups are wired to three volume controls, and a master tone.

The Maple neck plays very well, with the ‘D’ profile feeling nicely slender and articulate in the hand and providing a smooth and responsive playing experience in all registers, with a flattened area to the centre which promotes ergonomic thumb positioning. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with its 15.75” radius it is practical for a wide range of styles and techniques. The familiar lines of the body are as comfortable in the arms as ever, ensuring that long practice sessions and gigs are fatigue free.

The trio of Peerless P90 pickups are warm sounding, yet very articulate, giving you a solid bottom end, driving mids with clear and open sounding high frequencies. The acoustic resonance of the guitar is very pleasing, particularly at lower volumes where it blends with the amplified sound. This would be a great instrument for someone looking for a quality thinline hollow body guitar without spending a fortune.
