I think it's because Peavey does not give volume discounts. (they
didn't when I worked music retail) That means Joe's Guitar Palace in
Cowville pays the same amount for a piece Peavey gear that Sam Ash
pays. Sam Ash doesn't like that, as they're geared to make money on
high volume, not small individules.
(funny somewhat related story) as a skinny 18 year old, I ventured to
NYC's guitar store strip to purchase a Stratocaster, or the equivalent.
I could NOT get a single salesman to help me. Finally, I stuck a
hundred dollar bill (I CAME TO BUY!) on my forehead (teen face grease is
amazing) and walked around saying, "La la la, I WANT TO BUY SOMETHING."
Finally a laughing guitar god salesman came and helped me. (I ended up
with a G&L Skyhawk, which I still own and LOVE)
