George Philip Peacock (February 3, 1942 – December 27, 2011) was an American luthier best known for building flamenco guitars and as the owner of Peacock Music, which served the stringed instrument community of San Francisco for four decades and was, until its closure after his death, the oldest instrument shop in the city.
He opened his own commercial store, Peacock Music, in the early 1970s on the site of the old Chinatown Meat Co. in Duboce Triangle at 15th and Noe.
[2] In 1980, Peacock Music was featured by luthier Doug Roomian in an article about instrument making published by The Next Whole Earth Catalog.
