The new Peavey PXD Vicious Devin Townsend Signature Model is more than your usual ‘lick of paint and lightning bolt inlays’ signature edition. It’s a seven-string baritone guitar, for a start, and it also hails the arrival of a whole new series of instruments, the Peavey PXD range.

The other two models, the PXD Vicious I and Vicious II, were announced simultaneously and offer six-string mahogany-bodied variations on the Vicious Devin Townsend. All of the range should be available in the UK from January, with the signature model due to retail at £1,279.
