MusicMan and Peavey!?!

[brownpants69]

I spotted this Peavey Omniac on Ebay. The seller reckons that they are made at the MusicMan facility?

Any truth in this?

Item number: 370002623678

I played a couple of the Peavey HP Specials in a shop the other week- I wasn't exactly bowled over by the quality of the finish of the body and the fret job on the neck. Maybe Peavey have upped their game and have chosen to out source production?

 

[phatduckk]

nope

That sounds like it could not be any more made up.

 

[brownpants69]

Thats what my first reaction was. I might email the seller (who is a shop, not a private seller) and find out about his side of the story...

Peavey has a line of guitars made in Asia. They also have their American production models. Sounds to me like you played one of the imports.

No truth to the rumor that MM & PV work together as far as I know.

 

[MrMusashi]

hehe.. if you cant make enough of your own products to satisfy the demand, why on earth would you make anything for your competitors?

Maybe this is made by the factories that formerly produced the parts for the Sub1? Heheheh...

I don't think Hartley and Sterling are THAT good of friends!!

Besides, I just spotted a Musicman Omniac on Ebay and the seller reckons they are made at the Peavey facility!!

You are now entering "The Twilight Zone".

It's a Jerry Donahue Peavey Tele. Jerry Donahue plays a Peavey? I hope he likes it.

 

[Big Poppa]

im not friends with hartley in any way shape or form

 

[Mikey]

Maybe we should end this discussion to prevent Poppa from smashing his keyboard, shouldn't we?

I don't know about bp and hp?, but i own a few peaveys and they are a hit or mostly MISS type instrument ,i have never got a bad ebmm!,the 6 i have owned only a few are keepers,this was the namm show prototype!Still don't hold a candle to any of the axis!~BP don't hate me for trying other guitars yours are the real deal !

 

[D.K.]

Yeah, sure it is peavey and EBMM working together!

In fact they are researching for a secret EBMM/Peavey Wolfgaxis model right now!

And, one of the other hot news today - EBMM and Ibanez have offically started working together on a project called Music Man/Ibanez Petrucci model. The colour is said to be Picasso Blue Dawn (sprayed onto each chinese oak body by the man himself).

Stay tuned for more collaboration infos!

I like the concept of the Omniac. In fact, I was thinking about redoing my OLP Axis wannabe to be an Omniac...

 

[brownpants69]

No- it was definately an american one. The fretting was sloppy- big gaps around the fret ends- finish had already sunk into the grain and it was orange peeley. Its a shame, cuz Peavey can and have produced some great guitars.

 

[brownpants69]

Yeah- let's close the thread. Sorry Poppa! Didn't mean to insult you!

Conclusion- the seller on Ebay must be struggling to sell his guitars- so he has resorted to claiming the guitar in question was built by a superior guitar company.

Thread closed! lol

I've got a story about a retailer trying to sway my purchase of an Axis for a PV.
