Eddie wasn’t having it

Personally I don’t believe a word the scumbag leadership at Peavey has to say about anything.

From the outside looking in, it seems to me like Fender offered the guy the the keys to his own subsidiary company under their umbrella, more creative freedom and control, and it just seemed like a cooler deal.

And finally, in my experience, if someone blatantly airs that kind of dirty laundry they know will make someone else look that shitty and petty, it almost always means it was actually the person spreading the rumor acting shitty, and they're embarrassed or ashamed of it.

Just like when Eddie took his Soldano SLO to peavey to do the 5150 a cheap version of the SLO which doesn’t even compare to the SLO because Eddie knew that your average player couldn’t afford the price of the SLO so peavey makes a cheap version so they could sell them like candy and to make a ton of money for Eddie.
 
I'm not so sure Eddie was the stand up guy many would like him to have been.. everything I read or listen to from his earlier days seems to show an ego, a lack of confidence once the guitar world caught up, addiction, bad relationships, and much more. Hell of a trail blazer and probably a nice guy to the people he liked and when he was sober. But your resume isn't just one or two things you did, it is everything you have ever done or didn't do.
 
I wonder if he'd have one of these?

Never heard this before, but regardless its well documented that EBMM didn't have the infrastructure to keep up with demand. Ed was already with PV and they offered to make his guitars as well.
 
pretty interesting to think what it was like back then. Everyone was trying to get Edwards sound when that first album dropped. I remember reading he was super protective about it. By the time he was with Peavey though, people were doing their own thing. Seems kind of petty to leave a company because another artist is endorsed, he must have thought Satch was going to let the smoke out :LOL:

Ed was an addict, every addict I ever met was a liar, especially to themselves.

This story sounds very similar to the firing of DLR, jealousy.

Most Savants are.................................................as they don't relate to the average person nor the world.:dunno:
 
If he was banging that guy's wife, he was having something....
 
So this CEO just makes up things he theorises Eddie may have “felt” and an article gets written on it. Lame.
