Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

PXD Tomb I is a good guitar. Slight disproportions in price vs. quality/features should never stop you from trying this guitar. Peavey did put a lot of effort into this instrument and it deserves to be tested. If you find that it suits your playing style, go for it - you won't be sorry.

Some say that the average is golden, and maybe that is true for Peavey's PXD Tomb I as well. There are musicians who would like to see more features on PXD Tomb I, but Peavey felt that PXD Tomb I provides enough features for a given price and the market that Peavey aims for. Perhaps there are better equipped guitars then this one, but PXD Tomb I will deliver what it's built for.

Tone delivered by Peavey's PXD Tomb I makes it a serious sounding instrument that gives Peavey a lot of reasons to be proud of it. Somewhat limited when playing certain music styles doesn't mean that PXD Tomb I will make your tone to sound poor, quite the opposite, because PXD Tomb I provides rich and versatile tone that you'll be happy with.

A bit more care and time would make this instrument a class better, but Peavey's PXD Tomb I doesn't look bad, nor does play badly. It stays in tune reasonably well, and can provide a not-too-demanding musician some good experience. Was it the price, or some other factor, but it feels that the hardware could have been done better; nevertheless, PXD Tomb I is after all a good guitar which is not too hard to handle and set up.

This is a solidly built guitar that will play well live and in studio. It does provide a fair amount of confidence, and it can serve well both as a replacement and a first choice guitar for gigs and rehearsals. Peavey feels confident in its PXD Tomb I and it will serve you well in most situations. Durability and reliability are evenly balanced with this instrument.
