T60 serial number

Of course, this is an oversimplification—the very existence of Eastwood Guitars points to the fact that there is a market for guitar players who want to stand out from the Strat, Tele, and Les Paul crowd. And they were—and this is not to be minimized—cool. In , just about everyone was playing a guitar by a major company. By comparison, Strat was very fairly priced by comparison…it was still pricey for the day , and Teles and Esquires not to mention, later, Mustangs were positively relatively cheap.

But even lower on the food chain were the Airlines, the Silvertones, the Harmonys, the Danos. No one was like him in bands of the time. Because it is. Still, I can understand why players might have shied away from the T-Series at first. The flagship and top of the line, the T, is a pretty unattractive guitar. And remember, these are on forums for people who absolutely love these guitars. The general guitar playing public, if they are at all familiar with the T, tend to think of them as pretty uninspired designs at best, and pretty damn ugly at worst.

But the T-Series was built in a way that revolutionized the guitar making industry. Peavey was the first to construct necks with a computerized copy lathe. By using computers, every neck came out exactly the same for the first time in guitar making history. This is now used throughout the guitar industry. This technology also allowed Peavey to produce guitars that were at least the equal to the quality of Fender and Gibson, yet significantly lower their production costs.

And maybe that was another problem for Peavey. But the best—or most compelling and surprising—guitar in the T Series may be the T It not only allows all of the benefits I mention above with the Mustang, but it makes double country bends enormously easy once you get used to the effortlessness of the bends. It may be why the guitar found early popularity with country players—with its ability to lend itself to complex country pedal steel-like bends.

I have fallen in love with the Though, while the whole T Series of Peaveys first found the majority of their players in the country field, the T is becoming more and more popular in indie rock. But they have a sound all their own. Peavey also has the nice feature of there being no treble loss when you roll off the volume knob—the guitar keeps its tone no matter how low you roll off the volume.

Other features of the guitar are a three way pickup switch and a single tone and volume knob that controls both pickups. And while some of the higher end models, like the T, are famous for their excessive weight some are reported to weigh more than a Les Paul—though the colored and sunburst ones supposedly weigh less than the more common natural wood finish , the T is a very light and comfortable instrument.

It, too, came most often in a natural wood finish, with much more rare versions made in both sunburst and walnut. And the neck is made of hard rock maple. It all adds up to a first-rate guitar. A Mississippi Mustang, indeed. The better one, of course, being the one that came with the two pickup Complete with a deep tremolo and a great tube sound driven by a single 6V6. Grab one before the price starts going up. Grab the T while you can. Description You're looking at a vintage Peavey T guitar in white finish.

Near 40 years vintage. Fourth year of production and has the 'toaster' pickups. Comes with the original Peavey molded hard case and a copy of the original owner's manual. Frets show some minor flattening. Still in good shape.

Plays well up and down the thin neck. Cosmetically, the guitar is very clean for its age. Some minor marks but still looks good.

Hardware is clean. Great guitar!! From what I understand they started making them in about 76 up until about Try peavey. While you are there download a manual and see what a wonderful instrument this is.
