My Black Peavey Tele Solution to Near Sightedness (can’t see near)
Today I was playing my year 2000 black Peavey Predator-Plus TK from Korea and I noticed something. This is an Android photo without flash. Sorry, I think the focus is imprecise.

Either purchase a black guitar or colored guitar strings.
Thanks for visiting Shoshin Guitarist today.
