I've missed most of it but Undercover Boss USA on C4 is doing Peavey this morning. 
If you want to watch people with southern accents gluing boxes together this is the one to watch.

    If I recall, Hartley doesn't do well in that.

    There's usually some sort of big old Peavey bass/keyboard amp in the Central Perk coffee shop in Friends... should you wish to continue the theme.

    Found it on YouTube to watch later..
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    Considering that most undercover bosses come up smelling of roses by the end of these shows, it amazed me how badly Hartley Peavey came off and especially the revelations at the end of the show and what happened next.

    Didn't raise him up in anyone's estimation.

    Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

    It's quite uncomfortable viewing, right? 

    I'd love to see a Gibson one, see how that compares. And a fender one - be interesting to see the USA factories and what it is we fund when we buy USA "because it's better".

    Had it on YouTube in the background this morning . It's a few years old and you don't get to see much stuff being made. Yeh, Hartley and his step son( ?) don't come across well. I've seen a couple of other episodes of this and they are basically long ads for the companies so to come across that badly took some effort.
    Although the oddest thing is that it turns out Hartley Peavey looks like Dawn French in a fake beard.

    I watched the show yesterday and I found it very sad.

    The undercover boss (Harvey Peavey's step son and COO) spoke to one woman had been at the Meridian plant for 24 years and another chap who had been homeless until he got a job at Peavey and was a really conscientious worker.

    Anyway as usual the COO sat down at the end and distributed some largesse to the chosen workers and dissuaded one who was going to another job from leaving.

    At the end it stated that 3 months later the plant was closed. :/
