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.
