Biz Prof Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Apparently, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2012. He loved some custom built guitars. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/jeff-cook-alabama-guitarist-dead-obituary-1234627084/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie G. Moseley Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Playing influences were centered on James Burton, front-and-center. Had some unique instruments like this Music Man dbl-neck (one guitar in Nashville tuning). Commercial illustrator Wayne Jarrett of Greensboro, NC estimates he painted 100 instruments for Cook. Cook was a pro player and an astute and successful businessman as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 He put Peavey on the map. Every country band ran Peavey equipment and many played Peavey instruments. A legend of country music!! RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie G. Moseley Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 He was also the first guitarist to have a Peavey signature model, which debuted in late 1985. Basically a Hydra with a Kahler vibrato. It was hyped with the phrase "extremely limited production" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersteel Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I read he had a house in Destin, Fl--my neck of the woods! IIRC, I believe Courtney Cox and Brittany Spears have houses there, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A signature model would be an honor. Were Peavey instruments a prestige brand at the time? No. The basses were really nice for the money. The guitars were, too.
