Peavey T 60 Guitar 1978 with Peavey hard case

This is a vintage 1978 Peavey T 60 guitar in fantastic condition. This is a very early example (“8M” serial number which means it was one of the very first produced, AND original oblong case which were only used for the first year of production before being replaced with the more common moulded fitted cases – extremely collectable) 

The body is solid ash and is in very good condition with only a few light marks. Likewise the neck and headstock virtually unmarked. The pickguard and pick up rings are all in great condition and the electrics work perfectly and are all quiet. There is a little wear on the plastic parts of the pick-ups.

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.

I particularly like the early T 40’s and T 60’s and they really are hard to come by now in this condition. This example make a lot of sense as the condition makes it well worth keeping, but you also get a cool looking guitar you could gig with straight out of the case.

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.
