TDC - Jeff Cook of Alabama

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.

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"

Not exactly something you want on your resume.

Peavey made some good guitars and basses.  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.

We can agree to disagree.

Sadly, the production wasn't limited to zero.
