Peavey Electronics®, one of the world’s largest manufacturers and suppliers of musical instruments and professional sound equipment, proudly announces its all-new line of officially licensed musical instruments featuring the legendary comic Super Heroes of Marvel Universe.
Musicians of every skill level, from beginner to pro, can become real guitar heroes with these new musical instruments exclusively from Peavey, which immortalize Marvel Super Heroes Captain America, Thor, Wolverine, X-Men, Spider-Man, Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk in highly detailed artwork on guitars, percussion instruments and accessories.

Peavey will also debut guitar picks and straps featuring the Marvel Super Heroes, including fan favorites like Ghost Rider and Punisher.
