The Fall of Peavey

[Fiesta Red]

On the heels of the documentary about Hamer

I saw that in my feed but it seemed like A.I so I passed on it.

Hartley Peavey sold his people out. Not sure what's worth reliving about it.

Self inflicted, predictable & preventable.

It’s not a fun thing to watch… 39:00 Is where it pops off .. Another company sold out to the global bidding war..

One reason I have respect for Paul Reed Smith....hasn't sold out to the highest bidder and I would imagine he's had plenty of offers now that he is a going concern in terms of market share. He's getting old. I imagine things will go downhill when he dies.

I remember you talking about this. I had no clue he was one of the last mohicans.. That’s respect man. I believe he’s still involved in the day to day.. You know the 3 generation rule… 1 to build it 1 to manage it then the 3rd to piss it all away..

Yeah pretty much. I'd like to own one of the ten top USA guitars made before he passes away. I'm sure idiots will all rush to cash in on "dIs wUz biLt b4 pAuL diEd" pricing. Not sure it'll ever happen but if I ever have another 3 or 4k for a guitar I might be able to swing it. No big deal though, it's just more stuff, but it might generate a few bucks for the wife and kids when I'm gone. All my gigging gear will look like a pile of woodchips so no dice there.

Ohhhh you know that’s going to be crazy.. with their selections these days I wouldn’t even know where to start lol my buddy keeps telling me to grab a silver sky. I almost bought their J-mod 100 amp when it first came out.. but it was too close to two rock prices.. I really liked the sound & thought it would be around for a while.. since it’s Mayer related the scalpers are out on reverb asking insane prices for them now… I decided on a two rock but that’s going to have to wait a little longer.
