Location: Jet City | How the name came to be, according to Bill Kaman:
"We were still trying to have a soild body in the early 80's. Peavey had just come out with their first guitar and bass which had satin finish (the T-60). Hartley also had just put out an ad that the headline was "It took me 22 years to create this amp" and showed him sitting on the amp holding the guitar. Randy Hess, ad mgr (for Ovation), rest his soul, said we should do an ad with me (Bill Kaman) sitting like Frank (Zappa) in the "Phi Zappa Crappa" poster, on the can, holding the guitar, and the headline would be "It took me 22 minutes to create this guitar" Since we (Ovation) were going to kick Peavey's ass with this model we called it the Peavey F%cKer. Hence the PF-22." This is true story. Years later at a trade show Bill told Hartley (Peavey) about it and they "both had a good laugh over it.”
Hand wound custom made pickups. Set neck with blended heel. Split coil and phase switches. Ebony fretboard.
There were roughly 20 PF22s made, half were basses. This is one of the first prototypes (believed to be the 2nd) built on March 20th, 1980. Case included.
$1200

BTW all, I should mention this guitar just had a recent trip to Mother for some dental work. All her frets are now leveled crowned and dressed and all that good stuff.
The frets were actually without wear, but I'm a bit picky and there were a couple fret that were slightly uneven. So I had the pros in CT take care of it. |
