"We are very pleased to be working with Skybound, the creators of The Walking Dead," commented Hartley Peavey, founder and CEO of Peavey Electronics.

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!"
