If you are considering buying one of these guitars it's safe to assume you know how underrated and historical these guitars are. A vast amount of great tones can be had with this guitar. It does a great job of sounding like its own guitar with its own character while giving you the ability to dial in familiar tones - twangy tele tone, bluesy strat tone, humbucking les paul-esque tone. Also has a phase switch which is fun to mess around with especially when playing funk tunes. From a historic perspective, this was the first line of guitars manufactured by Peavey. More importantly and even more significantly, the T-60 line were the first guitars ever made using CNC machining technology. Fender and Gibson took note of the efficiency at which these guitars were produced and also the degree of precision to which the parts were produced and began implementing CNC machining technology at their shops.Neck: Rock maple neck“C” profile21 frets1 5/8” wide metal nut10” radiusNickel silver fretsBi-laminated for strength and stabilityStainless steel torsion rodNeck tilt adjustmentDot inlays The body is solid ash.The guitar has a 25 1/2 inch scale length.All of the hardware is heavy duty die cast metal that is triple-chrome plated to resist rust and corrosion.The electronics on the T-60 are capable of dialing in a wide variety of tones. Each humbucking pickup has its own volume and tone control. With the tone controls turned all the way up, most of one coil is cut off giving you a nice single coil tone. When you roll the tone control down to around 7 the pickup goes full humbucking giving you a nice full, thick sound. Rolling the tone down any further just rolls off high end. There is also a phase switch for when both pickups are engaged.
Fun fact: The "T" in T-60 is for Todd, as in Chip Todd who designed the guitar with Hartley. Here is a run down of this specific T-60 for sale:Purchased at Austin Vintage guitars in 2014100% Original - Original hardware, original pickups, three-way pickup selector switch, two-way mini-toggle, independent volume and tone controlsIn perfect working order - all tone and volume knobs function properly, the pickup selector functions properly, phase swich functions properlyFirst year run (1978)Made in USA (Meridian, Mississippi)Gently owned with light cosmetic wearNo buckle rashThe black portions of the pickups show wear that is consistent with the guitar's ageSome scratches on the pick guardThere is a small split developing in the pick guard (pictured)There are a few dings in the body and at the tip of the headstock (pictured)There is a finish ding in the neck next to the brown stripe in the maple (pictured)Little to no corrosion on pickup covers and bridge parts - some superficial rust in a few small spots on the bridge saddle screws - pickup ring screws have superficial rust but still turn and are not wallowed outComes with original Peavey hard shell case which is in great condition - there is part of a sticker that I could not remove, looks to be from a previous owner.Comes with a black strap, strap locks (already installed), and the original strap buttons in the event you want to remove the strap locks. Recently set up with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings - the strings will be loosened for shippingI have a bear grip so I prefer a medium action - the guitar action is currently set at 7/32nds at 12th fret on Low E and 5/32nds at 12th fret on High EWill not ship internationally.
