Blue Destiny at Guitar Center for $325. Worth it its got a Khaler but odd in the picture it has all 6 fine tuners but when I went to play it, it was missing 2. Good Deal yes or no? Also comes with case.

I tend to think of those as the Jackson Soloist of the vintage Peavey line. Made in America, neck-through shredder. I think $325 is on the high side. I've seen them on sale here for $200. Plus, the Kahlers are great but be aware that replacement parts can be spendy. Halo might know current market prices on these better than me.
I'm sure it's a great guitar if it hasn't been trashed.

Well I think its worth that, but a little high compared to others I have seen currently. Those are some killer guitars! I haven't looked at it, but if its in nice shape I would go no more than maybe $275. Those are very close to the Peavey Tracer, Vandenberg, G90 and some Nitro models. I haven't seen that many for sale over the years really either. I would love to have one of them though. They are USA made too. IF its in really nice shape I might go $325. I can promise you its a lot of guitar for the money!
As Jim said the Kahler parts can be kinda spendy though. You live in GA? If so where at. I may have a Peavey you'd be interested in.

That IS the model to have! I prefer the ones with the reverse fluted head stock like the Vandenberg's. But that is a helluva guitar for the money!

Now its a race between me and halo to get it XD Nah I don't really want it that bad. Go for it be my guest good luck getting it down from the wall though Thats what we did when we were buying a Showmaster there. We had them put it at the top so nobody would buy it XD Always seems the good guitars are unreachable. Funny thought The hollywood GC's vintage room is a earthquake waiting to happen

nah....I am not going for it. I am more looking for tone in amps and effects. Think I will lay off acquiring more geetars for the time being.

Very nice. Those Kahler Spyder trems are awesome, as we all know.
Are those the stock pickups that came with the guitar?

Told ya that was an awesome guitar! Same neck my Tracer has on it. Not sure of the pups in those. Mine had a cheap ass humbucker in it that had plastic feet! Although it didnt sound all that bad really.....have no clue what it is. I have since replaced it was a Gibby somethin or other.
