"We are very pleased to be working with Skybound, the creators of The Walking Dead," commented Hartley Peavey, founder and CEO of Peavey Electronics. "The immense popularity of The Walking Dead comic and cable TV show will allow us to get our products in the hands of an entirely new market and will expand our range of designs."
Shawn Kirkham, Director of Business Development at Skybound Entertainment, added, "The merging of The Walking Dead's iconic art and the equally iconic Peavey brand is a no-brainer. I'm excited to see fans and musicians strapping on guitars featuring gruesome Walking Dead artwork from Charlie Adlard. These guitars, straps and picks are going to look brutal!"
