You can tell if it's neck thru if it has any bolts where the body connects to the neck . . . or maybe you just meant you don't have it in your possession yet.
Either way it looks like a great value for a guitar of that caliber.
i thought those peavey guitars were "moderately" priced, i.e. set or bolt neck...thru necks tend to be an expensive option, usually on higher-end models
True, but from the look of the neck design, pickups, bridge, etc. its a less expensive model, giving it less of a chance to not have the neck-thru design. I could be wrong though, it would in fact be better for erik if I am.
I'm sure several here think I'm the resident gear snob (and I very may well be, I dunno), but I'd like to say that neckthru isn't really worth it.
I mean yeah, it's nicer and all, but generally speaking it's big time bucks, better spent on something like a whole other instrument. Besides the fact that some very high end manufacturers like MTD (basses sell for around $3,000 on the used market) exclusively do bolt-on necks. Blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda.
