PICKUP INFO: (from Website)
The Fat Diane is based directly off of a set of unique Patent-Applied For humbuckers pulled from a 1960 ES335. Offering a full bodied vintage PAF tone that holds the classic clarity, articulation, and versatility of great vintage PAF's, coupled with atouch more output and a warmer grade magnet. The end result in a richer and warmer full response that retains great vintage touch sensitivity. Clean or dirty, the Fat Diane offers the perfect blend of warmth and clarity in a fatter PAF tonal package. Wound with vintage correct Plain Enamel magnet wire and powered by AlNiCo 4 magnets, the Fat Diane is the go to option for full bodied PAF tones.
Built by hand in Syracuse NY, the Fat Diane features classic Manlius design elements, including hand scatter-winding, american sourced magnets, vintage steel alloy parts, universal depth base-plate legs, maple spacers, and light wax potting for consistent performance.

The Peavey JF-1 hollowbody electric guitar plays like a dream. Jazz and fusion players are constantly playing up and down the fretboard and need as much access as possible, especially in the upper registers. Peavey took this classic design one step further by ever so slightly angling the neck to allow more comfortable access to the upper register of the fretboard.
Comes with gig bag, capo, and leather strap.
