There are two days left to help Peavey Electronics, Hank Williams Jr and Jack Daniel's raise money for Hurricane Katrina relief. We're inviting all our friends to participate in a special online auction to win a Peavey Jack Daniel's guitar autographed by Bocephus himself!

Hank Williams Jr., a country music icon and the owner of such hits as "Born to Boogie," "A Country Boy Can Survive" and "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight," donated $125,000 from his October 14 concert in Choctaw, Mississippi to Hurricane Katrina relief. During the event he also signed a special black-and-white Peavey Jack Daniel's guitar as a way to raise even more money for the rebuilding efforts along the Gulf Coast.

This prized, playable piece of memorabilia is up for auction on eBay until December 10 at 6:30 p.m. PST, and we want everyone in on the action. The Peavey Jack Daniel's Hurricane Relief Benefit Auction is open to U.S. residents aged 21 or older at www.peavey.com/relief, and all proceeds will go toward the American Red Cross's hurricane relief operations.

In addition, Peavey has pledged 10% of revenues from PV® Series musical instrument and microphone cable sales to the Red Cross for hurricane relief. This best-selling accessory line includes more than 40 products.

Peavey is based in Meridian, Miss., where Katrina wrought damage as a category-one hurricane. An independent corporation, Peavey employs 1,200 and has operated out of Meridian since Hartley Peavey established the company in 1965. The Peavey Revolution, published by Backbeat Books and available now, chronicles Hartley's impact on how we hear music and his myriad innovations during the first 40 years of Peavey.

Now celebrating its 40th anniversary as one of the world's largest manufacturers of musical instruments and professional sound equipment, Peavey® holds more than 130 patents and produces more than 2,000 products distributed throughout the United States and to 136 other countries. Peavey and its MediaMatrix®, Architectural Acoustics®, PVDJ*, Trace Elliot® and Crest Audio® brands and
