Jack van Breen of Guitar Showcase hosts Peter D'Addario and Phil Carnivale from D'Addario to talk to us about Planet Waves and their latest products. In 1994, Howard and Robert Silagy started a small guitar strap company called Planet Waves. In 1998, D'Addario & Company, Inc. acquired the Planet Waves line and it joined D'Addario's world-renowned family of musical instrument accessory brands. D'Addario envisioned the line as more than just accessories for guitarists, but for musicians as a whole. Almost 10 years makes quite a difference when a company becomes part of the D'Addario family. Their ingenuity and common-sense approach to Planet Waves has led to more than a 400% growth spurt, with a multitude of Planet Waves products covered by (or in application for) patents.
