*****SOLD***** Peavey T 60 Guitar 1979
with Peavey hard case This
is a vintage 1979 Peavey T 60 guitar in great condition. This is an early
example with the toaster style pick ups and original oblong case, which
were only used for the first couple of years of production before being
replaced with the more common moulded fitted cases. (The case is pretty
good but is missing the stays to hold the lid up which could be replaced -
in fact I intend to) There is a quality leather strap included with strap
locks fitted - the original strap buttons aren't included but I do have
some in my spares box if this was important to you. The
body is solid ash and is in very good condition with only a few light
marks. Likewise the neck, fretboard and headstock are virtually unmarked.
The pickguard and pick up rings are all in great condition and the
electrics work perfectly and are all quiet.
It looks like one of the switches has been replaced at some stage
but otherwise all electrics are original and untouched. In fact this
guitar really hasn't been used that much. This
guitar is set up to perfection with the lowest action you could ever wish
for and will easily cut it against anything more modern or far more
expensive. The
electrics also boast a patented circuit, whereby the 2-humbucking pick-ups
can be run in single-coil or twin-coil mode through the tone controls. The
volume controls are tone compensated, but the tone controls activate a
neat circuit that gradually turns the humbucker (at position zero) into a
single coil (at position 10) Combined with a phase switch and a 3-way
pick-up selector, means a great many tones can be achieved - making it
very versatile indeed. These
early USA made guitars are now recognised as being ground breaking and
great value for money. The T 60 was a similar price to Fenders when new,
and regularly compared with them in magazines of the time. Fenders now
fetch much bigger price tags but the T 60's are widely tipped to become
highly collectable over the next few years with prices to match. Not
easy to find in this excellent original condition.
