You may not know it, or remember it, but for a short time back in the early 90's, GEM built some arrangers with the Peavey brand on them. My friend at Peavey used to get me everything to try out or test for them, so he brought one. At the time I think I was still playing Technics, and this one didn't hold up to it. It was very heavy, as I recall, but that didn't matter as much back then. I kept it a few weeks and gave it back to him.
As a side note, we played golf one day, and he left to go to the next dealer on his list, and he died that night in a motel from a heart attack.
