Personally, apart from the huge financial and infrastructure outlay, I don't see an existing CF builder acquiring another CF builder if for no other reason than individual pride in their respective unique innovation, processes and vision that each brings to the marketplace. If any builder wanted to, they could easily invest in a reasonable facsimile of a desirable design and apply whatever unique aspect they want. But I don't see that happening. If Peavey were to drop CA and someone were to take it over, I'd bet it would be a startup in CF guitar building or another large wood guitar company looking to get into the CF game.
