New Composite Acoustics from peavey

hello. i have been looking for a new Composite Acoustics Gx model. i found a dealer who says he has a newer GX from peavey. i am kind of confused because the one the dealer has is equipped with a fishman pickup and all the videos i have seen on the new peavey CA guitars have the lr baggs i mix. so is the GX from the dealer i have been talking to actually a peavey made CA guitar? thanks for your comments.

Not sure, my 09' GX has LR Baggs Element which is just ok. I know Peevey bought what was left of CA back in the summer of 2010 but I have no idea what pickups they are using because at this point CA is all but dead in the water. Maybe call Peevey and see what info they have to offer.

i don't agree. they are not dead.

Peavey is doing right now a huge effort to get the company working again at full potential. expect that after NAMM (next week) guitar will be present again in the market. they will even re-release two more models having 5 in the market for this year.

Peavey CA's have l.r.baggs or fishmann Aura pickups. if it is not a Aura system, it could be an old model

i own one Peavey GX guitar and it is simply amazing! try calling them

I own one as well, built by the original factory, is yours and older one or one built by Peavey?

just got word from the dealer. the CA GX they have is for a peavey made instrument. and the GX has a Fishman Prefix Plus-T System in it. they recieved the guitar a month ago from peavey.

From the CA website:

Available with the Fishman® Prefix Plus T or Fishman Aura® pickup/preamp systems

So, it looks like they're moving away from LR Baggs pickups.
