Peavey Destiny

The Peavey Destiny is a solid body electric guitar of the superstrat type, manufactured between 1989 and 1994[1] in the US by Peavey.

All models have neck-through construction,[2][3][4] 24 frets, a 15 in (381 mm) fingerboard radius, and a 24 3⁄4 in (629 mm) scale. The hardware included a Kahler Spyder double locking tremolo bridge and Schaller strap locks.[3][5][4]

The standard Destiny has a rock maple neck, a poplar body, solid color paint jobs, and black hardware.[2][4] The Destiny Custom has a flame maple neck, body wings of mahogany, and golden hardware.[2][4]

The pickup and knob configuration, tremolo bridge, and overall body shape bears resemblance to the bolt-on HSS Fender HM Strat, and to the bolt-on Peavey Tracer (normally HS, but custom models did have HSS pickups). Like the Tracer, the Destiny's headstock is an "un-reversed" version of the Peavey Vandenberg's reversed headstock.

Electronics

The pickup configuration is HSS.[4] The guitar has one master volume control[4] (1MΩ pot) and one tone master control[4] (250kΩ pot),[6] in addition to a 5-way pickup selector switch and a coil tap toggle switch to split the humbucker, i.e. use it in a single-coil configuration.[5][4]
