Thanks for the thorough review. Seems like an awesome guitar (thinking about picking one up in a trade). One thing I wanted to mention is that there is _one_ other guitar that has a similar tone option for splitting the coils: the HH Jaguar that Fender started putting out a few years back has little rollers above the hummies that do the same thing. Agree--it is total genius.
@superduperlouber Good call on the Jaguar, I remember that. Very true and thanks for posting that. You are welcome for the review. That was my total pleasure for sure my friend!
Thinking about taking some weight off my Peavey by trimming the top horn and it wide butt. Probably some Strat like contours sanded for comfort, good idea or bad? Thing is just to darn heavy but I love it
@Caveira138 Horrible Idea, just get a strap that is 2" wider than what you are using and it will feel like it weighs half of what it does. Never, ever destroy a guitar like that. That would be like painting a pecker on the Mona Lisa's forehead.
@mapleblackdrums I find Ebony and Rosewood less desirable. Maple is a lot better actually. They stay much cleaner and don't collect dirt like the other fingerboards do. The dark fingerboard looks cooler on this particular color scheme, but you have to really clean that fretboard all the time or your fingers will constantly be grinding into the crud built up on those fingerboards and then you would shove that dirt into the windings of your strings if you didn't use Elixir strings.
At t60mafia.com that is not what I am finding. Chip Todd, the designer of the T-60 posts there everyday. I guess the rosewood fret board is harder to find now because it was a $50 upgrade back then. To find a rosewood fret board on a natural-ash body I rare I guess. Which doesn't make it better just rarer. I have a natural with rosewood, Wanna trade for one of your Tele's? Ha Ha.
@mapleblackdrums I actually like the T-60's a LOT more than my Telecasters. I hate Telecasters actually. All except for the James Burton Signature models, and even then I don't like the Fender scale length. I've always found it interesting how they will charge a LOT more to do a refret on a maple fingerboard over a rosewood or ebony. I guess because of the harder wood and it's harder to pull and seat the frets. So, you end up paying eventually. lol
Hey Scott. Sorry to keep at you with questions about strings, but I put 9's on my T-60 and now I have the big E and the A strings buzzing. The big E buzzes open and all up and down the fretboard. The A buzzes open and up the neck. I think the guitar was set up for 10's or 11's. The easiest adjustment is the neck tilt. Do you think tilting the neck back just enough to get the strings a little higher in the nut will help? No buzz in the smaller strings. Thanks
@LoveThatTeleTwang Hi John. It will most likely be a truss rod adjustment that needs to be done and possibly just a little height adustment done on just that side of the bridge since the little strings are doing fine. You would need to simply loosen the truss rod about a turn. The 10's put more tension on the neck, the 9's are allowing the neck to straighten out TOO MUCH and by loosening that truss rod about a turn should let the neck correct itself back to where it was. Keep me posted.
@groovydjs Hey Scott, I had to replace 3 strings because my son wound them wrong and didn't leave any slack. I should have checked that first, but he's changed strings before without a problem. So now what I have is no open buzzing, but the big E and A buzz from the 7th fret up. I didn't want to touch the truss rod until I gave you the new info.
I wish I could smack the kid, but he just bought me a Nashville Tele, so I guess I have to give him a pass this time.
@LoveThatTeleTwang This is where it's always tricky with these type of bridges, same as Gibson stuff, you can't adjust the height of single strings. If your strings are just too close to the fretboard, then you'll need to raise the low side of your bridge just enough to get past the buzzing point, but if it's far off the fretboard to begin with, then it will need the truss rod adjusted or the micro tilt hex screw in the middle of your neck plate adjusted. Let me know how the action is.
@groovydjs Hey Scott, this is very unscientific, but I can fit a nickel between the big string and the 12th fret and have a little play left over. If I try to slide 2 dimes in, the string moves very slightly. A nickel is about 5/64" thick, so my best guess would be the action of the big string is 3/32 - 7/64".
All the numbers aside, when I eyeball it, I see the action as high enough and wouldn't want it any higher.
@LoveThatTeleTwang Ok, that makes sense. Here is the part that will make it all come together. Is the measurements of string height more than that or less than that at your highest frets?
@LoveThatTeleTwang That sounds right and if you're getting buzz still, then it might very well just be a high fret or two that need to be filed down. To they buzz all the way up the entire neck after that spot or just on those couple of frets?
Hey Scott the Duosonic I was going to get ended up slipping through my fingers. So I got a 1978 Peavey T60 original hardshellcase and all! Only paid $250 for it, everything works and it was refretted a few years ago, easily one of the best guitars I've ever owned. All I gotta say is USA! USA! USA!
@Caveira138 Smooth my friend! It sounds like you slipped right into the driver's seat of a great axe for NO DOUGH! They are too cool huh? I really do think that folks will rediscover these things and they will be seen on stages all over again. How can you pass up a guitar this great for this kind of money? It makes no sense not to have one. lol Congrats my friend!
@Dracado Hi my friend and I'm glad you love that T-27. It is just a monster of a guitar isn't it?! The guitar you are asking about is a custom made Iceman style guitar I had built for me. It's a superb axe. If you want to check it out, there are a few videos of me with it, doing the reviews and all. You can type in Scott Grove Iceman and it will pop right up for you. It's not an Ibanez....it's a REAL guitar. lol Thanks again.
I am indebted to this review for the best guitar I have ever owned. Thanks for the recommendation; I now have a inexpensive, quality guitar that makes my friends jealous.
@iggy2193 Awesome my friend! That is the way to get it done! I bet they are amazed on how great of a guitar you have compared to anything that they have that is simply nowhere near in the same ball park as your T-60 and they probably paid more than twice what you did for theirs. I'm so glad that you got into one of these and I bet for a great deal too. I hope that your friends sell their current guitars and give a worthy T-60 a good home! Thanks again and play it proud!
There's a nice white one on ebay right now, but I didn't have $659 laying around. I bought an '81 natural Ash for $313. Looks to be in pretty good shape.
@JohnLindseyJr He will never get that price out of it, but he can dream. lol Yours is on the right track for what they actually get for the natural Ash ones. They are great axes for sure. I wouldn't be caught without a T-60 in the house somewhere.
@JohnLindseyJr Awesome my friend! I use 9's on everything. I do soooo much string bending and a few strings at a time at that. So, the 9's make it so easy to bend for all of those country things. The gauges don't make any difference in tone (no matter what anybody will tell you) so grab what feels best to you. If you like the guitar to fight you and you fighting it as well in order to make those cool, guitar faces....then grab the 10's. Have you seen the faces of folks that use 13's? lol
@groovydjs Got my T-60 today. Dang it's pretty. My son is downstairs playing 'Luther's Boogie' on it right now. Judging by the fretboard, it's spent most of its 30 years in the case. Now all I gotta do is experiment with the settings on my Vox VT15 (don't laugh, it's all I could afford) to get "that sound." I'm thinking about getting a T-15 to keep it company.
@JohnLindseyJr VERY COOL! Isn't it just too coo?!!!! Those little Vox amps have a nice sound to them actually. Funny you mentioned the T-15, a buddy of mine just emailed me with one in his neighborhood he found on Craig's List. I'm going to see if he will grab it for me and ship it this way. Then we can both have a groovy set!
One other question - is there any play on the switches on your T-60? Mine just arrived (not in as great of condition as I had hoped - a couple of nicks w/bare wood showing but that's another matter) - white w/rosewood like yours, but it has the flat style switches instead of the bat ones (I like yours better), and I can wiggle them back and forth sideways, so they don't have a real 'solid' feel. The nuts holding them on the pickguard are tight.
@tmann202 I know what you're talking about since I've had a few in the past that were that way. No play in mine at all. They are solid as a rock. So, there shouldn't be any give in them at all.
i just asked about the mustangs..........im surprised you havent picked up a squier vista series super-sonic i have one they are great japanese made guitars. and are getting more collectable by the day
scott i appreciate your opinion and you really know how to utilize the different sounds different guitars can make....i just picked up a pretty cheap fender blacktop telecaster black with the rosewood fretboard i recommend u try one out for the price they sound great and are pretty classic looking. also whats your opinion on egnater tweakers if you have used one
@diaperbreath Actually, all of this stuff is what I DO NOT like in gear. I don't like the Mexican stuff, simply from a collector stand point. I hate humbuckers and I hate tube amplifiers. So, I really have no interest in any of it. But I appreciate you asking me about them. I don't get to try anything out before I buy it, so just off of what they are....I'll probably never see any of them, let alone ever be in a position to actually touch or hear any of them.
Great video. I am about to buy that same guitar (white, rosewood) that I found on craigs, also in great condition. One question I have is about the coil splitting with the tone knobs. How does turning the tone knob to switch from single to humbuck make it more versatile than a push-pull switch on the knob? Doesn't that method give you full tone control adjustment range for each pickup in both single and humbuck mode, instead of partial tone control range with theT-60 method?
@tmann202 Very cool! Easy enough answer on the coil splitting. As you are fading the tone from 10 to 7 where the humbucker is in FULL humbucking mode, you are actually not only just getting less high end on the single coil, you are adding the second coil in at the same time. So, that probably should've been mentioned, So, you can have a single coil on full volume and the 2nd coil on that same pickup on at half volume when the tone control is on about 8.5. Pretty groovy stuff.
Scott: I just bought a mint one that looks exactly like yours. Mine is a 1982 model (according to serial #). I had two quick questions - (1) Mine doesn't have that steel nut like a couple of other T-60s I used to own. Is this normal for some? I'm not sure if mine is bone or plastic, but it is white like yours; (2) My phase & PUP selector switches are not rounded on the tips, but have more of a 'flat' look to them. Do you know anything about this? On one I just sold, I had one of each.
@grascfretal Yeah, Peavey was trying all kinds of things with these right off the bat and there were switch types being used every week, nut types swapped out via Peavey and by users. You never knew what you were going to get from Peavey for the first few years. Some of these switches were great big, rounded off things also. So, it really is a crap shoot with what parts were going to come on it from week to week. So, to say that one part is "STOCK" over another is really impossible to say.
@pdorn777 My pleasure! You gotta love these things. The newest thing to come out is always tempting, but then you finally realize that you've got the only one that you really need sitting right there at home.
@pdorn777 Thank you very much. Great guitar. Yes, the necks are thin. It's one of the great things about it. It is exactly the same scale length as Fender guitars (25 1/2"). So, they are no harder to play than any other Fenders. The neck is what a famous man over at Fender named Dan Smith did to Stratocaster necks while he was in charge of making them in the very beginning of the 80's. They feel identical. So, they are actually a very sought after neck profile by a lot of guitar players.
You know, as soon as I hit the "enter" key I knew that was wrong. I got my T60 in 1978, not 1973. Serial number 226956. The music store in Missoula told me that each Peavey dealer got one, he called it a "market test". After all these years, I just had a good luthier rework the neck - new frets, planed and polished, took a few little dings out. It's like brand new now and I just love it. By the way, love your video, you have serious chops!
@tbalek1 I actually figured that it was a typo, but thought I would post the info for other readers. That is great that you had yours taken care of. They are so very worth it huh? The fact that these guitars are gone and that these other sad excuses for instruments are being produced is just sad isn't it? lol I wish every kid in the world could play one of these blindfolded, they would never be the same again. Thanks again my friend. Very appreciated!
Hey Scott, I found one of these for sale. It looks like a real beauty, I just don't know what I should pay for it. Here are the pictures: imgur. com/a/D3yp3
The message he just sent was "Hey there. I'd look for around $350 (including shipping charges) cash, or somewhere in the $350-$400 range in trade. As far as trades go, I like classic guitars, teles, SGs, stuff like that." I have a Tele and an SG exactly, but I'm not sure if I want to give up either. Are they really worth it?
@italiansrock101 That one is in great condition and is worth exactly what he's asking for it. Is it better that a Tele or and SG? In my oppinion, I would trade every Tele and ever SG in the world in on one single T-60. Yep, that's the truth, but then again....I hate Tele's and SG's. lol So, that is really your call. That one looks to be from around 1979 era because of the toaster pickups, which are slightly different than the ones that are in the one in my video. They are the older ones.
@groovydjs Thanks for the info. I've decided not to buy from this guy. I understand you dislike the SG's and the Tele's, but I love em. So I'll keep mine. But I'm going to end up purchasing a Peavey off eBay. After all your positive feedback, I've decided I need to see one for myself. Would you recommend the T-60 or the T-27?
@italiansrock101 I honestly like the T-27's better because of being a Strat sound kind of guy. The T-60 will give you the Tele sounds and the SG sounds both out of the one guitar and has a MUCH thinner neck than both of them. So, be aware that the Peavey's have some of those cool, thin necks that the palm of your hand never even touches. The T-27 skips the Tele and SG sounds all together and simply sounds like a Strat with the addition of having the ability of the humbucker in the bridge.
I bought mine NEW in 1973. I have tried every frickin' guitar ever made since then - every Gibson, Fender, PRS, etc - and I just can't part with my T60. Nothing like it. This is the end-all, be-all, rockin' American maple neck, ash body, humB and single coil MONSTER. T60 forever!
@tbalek1 The Peavey T-60 was conceived in 1976, the first one was made in late 1977 and was not sold to the public until 1978. It was Peave's first guitar. So, for one to exist in 1973 is quite impossible. But, I agree. There is nothing like them. They are a superb axe that should be worth what a Les Paul and Telecaster combined are worth. Why? Because they are every bit as good as both and they get both sounds and they simply Play better and are made better than both combined.
thats nuts i was checking some of these peaves and found a t-60 for $250 and im like $250 for a guitar that sounds that good and is made in the US. but iv got my eyes on a t-60 and a mystic now iv already played a mystic at my guitar store and for $300 it sounded awesome and after seeing your mystic vid i think im the biggest dumb ass for not getting it but i wanted to ask which is better sounding and
@OWNGEMASTER1993 Yeah, these are the best kept secrets in the world for sure. The Mystic is a slight bit brighter sounding (nothing that a twist of knobs on the front of your amp won't take care of in about 2 seconds). Otherwise, they are pretty much the same guitar. The T-60 is MUCH heavier. But, that doesn't make any difference in the tone at all. It's easier to find a clean looking T-60 because the kids are always banging the Mystics into walls and covering them with stickers. lol
Love your vids. Have to ask though, does the single coil sound option make it sound like a tele or strat? I was looking at getting this but I already have a nice MIM Telecaster so I was looking for something with a different sound. And also, I heard the humbuckers can blow LP's stock pickups out of the water.
@julianking93 Thank you. Someone has been telling you a bunch of garbage. The typical Strats and Telecasters will have single coil pickups in them. Some have all humbuckers too. Whoever told you about the stock pickups of a Les Paul being this or that is not very bright. Les Pauls come with tons of DIFFERENT pickups stock in them. All depending on what you want it to sound like. All of my Les Pauls have different pickups in them and they are all stock and very, different. Peavey will do all.
@groovydjs Ah thank you for that. I was wondering if I was just being an idiot or if they were telling me some bullshit XD
Still, I'm in the market for a good guitar that basically can play stuff like heavier metal (not bright "hair" metal, by the way.) and Jimi Hendrix stuff too. Would this be a good buy for that? I found one on eBay for 200 plus a hardshell case. Or would soemthing different be better for my tastes? :o
@julianking93 The main thing is that these guitars will do the humbucker sounds for your heavy stuff, then the single coil stuff for the the Hendrix sounds. Schecter guitars will often have a coil split on them too. So, it's really on how well you want the guitar to be built for the money. Any other guitar at that price will be a steaming pile of crap. lol The Peavey USA stuff haven't gone up yet on the collector market. I have no doubts that they will since most of them are foreign now.
@groovydjs Really? Okay, cool. I was looking at an Ibanez ART100 with Seymour Duncan Blackout pickups installed too that's also 200 with a bag. Schecter had some cool stuff but it seemed a little steep in price for me. So I guess it comes down to either that Ibanez or this. With your comments though, I'm obviously leaning more toward this Peavey. Already got a Peavey too. Rotor EXP and it... well dear lord is it amazing. Great sound and got it for 215 with a hardshell off ebay lol
@julianking93 Yep, really. Stay away from the Seymour Duncan pickups too. They are easily the worst sounding pickups ever made. The Rotor EXP is actually a cool guitar. It has a body shape that would fit your style more, but this BIG, old axe will always sound better and be better than the Ibanez junk, the Rotor or ANY Schecter.
@groovydjs Hm. Always heard SD pups were great but after listening to a few sound tests.... eh... the clean tones are quite shit. Don't write off Ibanez entirely. I have the JTK2 which actually is really good. A lot of their other stuff is shit like lower end models from 1 - $500 but.... eh it's still shit XD Love my Rotor more though. Has great pups and is very diverse, at least for me. Anyway, thanks for the help! I guess I'll just add another Peavey to my collection then ^_^
@julianking93 True, the Duncans are the worst sounding pickups I've ever heard. Every model. Yep, I've heard them all. Ibanez is shit due to the people that work there more so than their products. Hartley Peavey will come over to your house for dinner if you invite him to. The folks at Ibanez will tell you to shove it if you had a 6 course meal delivered to them by the Playboy Plamates. They really suck that bad. lol
@LWRCftw Never heard of them, hear them or saw them. I'll try to hunt something down that has it in them and see if they can do a great clean, single coil country sound.
@LWRCftw Yeah, I'm not into any high gain sounds at all. I look for underwound, very Stratocaster sounding clean tones. All distorted stuff pretty much sounds the same despite the pickup.
@LWRCftw I honestly don't like them for my personal type of music. I don't like the Gretsches either. Just not my thing at all. I know a lot of people love them and that they are the only way to get "that" sound. But as I said, they just are the complete opposite of what I really like. I'm not a fan of humbuckers at all either. So, it's nothing that I would personally consider.
I got an 81' T60 with a hard case and not a scratch on the guitar. It's not white though, its natural. It does a lot, and sounds good doing it. I also have a 25 watt Peavey Bravo tube amp from around 91' which gets a wide range of sounds too. Both made in U.S.A. all for right around $500. I added a custom made (greenback) Weber speaker and it really makes it all come together
@mapleblackdrums Very sweet! Great deal too and you're right, adding a Weber in that amp would bring it to life for sure! Do you have them posted on your channel?
just got a 79 with the toaster pick ups and case. in mint condition. so many sounds and tones. Hums punch. strat singles. love scoop switch harmonics a plenty.
Great neck, tuners. top shelf guitar. Only problem is I played it for about tens minutes and noticed the beutiful neck wood, I stopped and really looked over guitar. its like brand new not a scratch! no fret wear. nothing. its to nice for me to trash. I'd put more wear on it in a week than the last 33 yrs. Never had this problem before.
@BlueRoseRocketBand2 I know exactly how you feel my friend. Congrats on the T-60 by the way! You'll have to get another with just a small bit of milage on it and play the heck out of it and keep that amazing thing to admire and pull out on just the special occasions. One day, people will figure out just how great these are and they will actually go up in price! Na ! The average guitar player isn't smart enough to figure that out. lol
Hey Scott, Just got a killer deal on one of these from craigslist. You should try setting the pickups out of phase with the bridge on single coil, neck on humbucker, and set the volume knob on the bridge to about 7 and the neck to 10, its really deep sounding. That phase switch can generate some nice tones if you play with the knobs. Thanks for this review!!! I was already thinking of getting the T-60 before I saw this, and the review helped seal the deal. Thanks!
@taltor727 Awesom my friend and congratulations on scoring one of these! I'm off to try your settings. Thanks for the head's up. There's not much that these things can't do huh? Makes playing a Tele seem kind of silly huh? lol Thanks again and a knob twiddling I will go. lol
Hey Scott, just wondering if (and I would never do, or endorse anyone doing this) you replaced the pickups, with new humbuckers, would the tone circuit still work the same way? Like if you put in two super distortion pickups, would it make them single coils when the tone was at 10, or is it the tone circuit/pickup combo? Also could this circuit be replicated on another guitar by a layman, or is it over an amateur's head?
@CCGuitarGod It's a cool circuit that you could do yourself if you had the schematics (they are available online) and are a monster with a soldering iron. You can swap the pickups with any other splittable humbuckers and it will do the same thing. You will need a new pickguard made if you were to put new pickups into one of these axes since the pickups are so much larger than typical Humbuckers. But, easy enough to do and they offer them on Ebay and any pickguard maker will make them for you.
i received the t60 back in 1979 or maybe it was 81 my pic-ups do not have that bar in the middle wow ejnoyed your demo i had no idea how those different nobs and switches worked im sure some of it had to do with the peddles you were using
there was a time i was thinking about getting rid of my peavey t60 but after watching your review im going to keep it
@1965nterp Your guitar would've been made between 79 and early 81....correct. The pedals you think you are hearing are actually just the effects that are built into my amplifier, there are no actual pedals, just a controller for the amp. The best sound on the T-60 is always going to be with all knobs on 10 and the pickup selector in the middle (both pickups on) position and the phase switch (2 way switch) up or closest to the top of the guitar or neck. Do it like that and I bet you keep it!
Great review!!! I am going to purchace a Peavey T series guitar soon but i have one question. What would you say was the best of the Peavey T- guitars? (lets just say for playing everything, no specific music style). Youre reviews rock Scott!
@afaella3 Thank you very much! There were several others that incorporated the same wiring etc. Such as the Horizion II (SUPERB AXE),The Razer and Mystic (wild looking things) and on and on, as far as the T series guitars go you had the T-15 which had a short scale and 2 super ferite pickups (great little bluesy guitar), the T-30 which has 3 single coils and is a short scale too. The T-25 is the same as the T-60 just half the weight, the T-26 has 3 single coils and T-27 singles and humbucker.
@afaella3 Yeah, HEFT it has in spades and then it has that thinner neck. Like someone gave it that "Jackson" treatment. It's nice and flat and not a big, chunky neck, but a big chunky body. So, the neck is built for speed and the body is built like a log cabin. The electronics are second to none and it's all USA and the price is STUPID low for such great guitars. Keep me posted on what you end up with.

Hi. Came across your T-40 review yesterday and now found this. Brilliant!! I have a T-60 and a T-40 for every month of the year and I love 'em. You have had a lot of guitars and you recognise how good the T-60 is. Just for your ref, yours is a 1983, with Bat switches. White was an option from 79 . Honest and informative review of a truly great guitar. Cheers. :) Google Flat Eric's Bass & Guitar and you will see some of mine, including a rare Wine Colour posted August 2010. :)
I said it of your review on the T-40 and I'll say it about this review it is by far the best review of the T-60 on the web. I high school sweetheart gave me my T-60 back when they first came out (my serial number begins with the "M") I've gigged with her ever since and every where from CBGB's back in 79 to every unknown watering hole and dirty little festival you can think of and she still sounds as good as the day I got her. Thanks again for the great review.
Great review! I've had my T-60 for around five years. It's been painted black and the pick guard has been modified and some of the holes filled in. But the electronics are perfect and the guitar plays nicely. The previous owner also scraped the Peavey logo off the headstock.. I sent it to Chip Todd and he replaced the sticker with a slightly different one and he honored my request for his signature on the back. Awesome!
I am thinking of a new guitar but this review has made me reconsider.
@monsterdonkey Thank you my friend. Yeah, Chip is GREAT! I would love to check out your modded T-60. If ever you lose your mind and want to get rid of it, hit me up before you ever feed it to the dogs on Fee-Bay! lol
@qwerty96347 Yeah, these are amazing and blow Telecasters out of the water. Just such better quality guitars and way more versatile than a Tele can ever dream of being and yep......at a third of the price.
Congrats on a very informed and accurate review of the T-60. I've played strats and Les Pauls and always come back to my T-60 which was purchased new in '79. This model is a very well-built tank. After nuclear Armageddon there will remain only cockroaches, Keith Richards, and T-60's.
@dosware This is about the most accurate comment posted yet! Thanks by the way! Yeah, you can always come back "HOME" to the T-60. There are tons of guitars in the world. Each will serve a need or fit the bill for a certain thing for the time being. But you are right, you always come back to the T-60 and wonder why you actually even bother with other guitars. lol They are like you favorite pair of jeans.....they just fit. I also love how you tossed KEEF in with the cockroaches! LOL
Hi Scott--Wondering if you got the message I sent you about this guitar? Wanted to find out some additional details, like if you know a range of how many were made...quite a few or not that many? And about how much they are worth, etc. If you get a chance to read my message and respond, I'd really appreciate it. We are hoping to give it as a gift this week and wanted to have more info on it to share with the recipient. Thanks!
I love your collections and reviews. I'm a bass player, and your review of the T-40 is the best on the net. I had to go out and trade my MIA Fender Jazz for a T-40 as soon as I saw your review (and I wasn't alive when these were made, so it wasn't for nostalgia).
Quick question - how can you tell how old a T-40 or a T-60 is? My bass has the "blades," but is there a serial number code like with Fenders and Gibsons?
@mikeymacaque Hi my friend, I just sent you the Peavey serial number codes. They had them from 1978-1995. Since then, they require you to email it to them to get the year. Pretty crazy huh? Then again, not many axes of theirs made after that point that I would want.
Great demo of a great guitar. I have 4 of them, a white '81, black '80, a '78 and an '83 in natural. I also have one of the first prototype bodies I bought from Chip Todd, the designer of the T-60, going to build a custom T-60 with it. Has binding which he installed personally and is stained walnut. T-60's tend to be heavy unless you get a painted one which were normally made of popular instead of ash.
@heinzdziurowitz Awesome my friend. I would love to see your Chip Todd custom! If you get a chance to post it in a video........please let me know. I checked out some of your videos. Super stuff!
Thanks for the excellent review on a great guitar. I have a 78 natural finish model and the more I play it the better it gets. The neck took a while to get used to but once you do it's comfortable and fast. I looked at several new guitars for the same price and they seemed like toys. The T60 feels like a real high quality instrument that will last another 30 years.
@ahoneyman You are so dead on! The guitars of today look pretty, but they sure feel like toys, just as you said. They really don't make them like they used to. You are right about the necks too. They are like the wide and flat things that would eventually be used in future Jacksons and such. But once you have that tamed, there's really no going back to a traditional type of neck. Great axes.
There's one of these on my local craigslist that I'm thinking about buying, there's no picture but he says it's a white T-60, does that automatically mean it's a 1981?
@zachgrantmusic Yep, they did the old style, toaster pickups in early 1981 and switched to the blade pickups in mid 1981. It will be 1981. The blade pickups will look pretty close to the toaster style with the exception of the blades going down the center of the black parts of the pickups. The toaster style of pickups are not nearly as bright sounding as the blade pickups, not as much definition. So, keep that in mind when you go to check it out too.
@47vito47 Thank you so very much my friend. I'll go look for the e-mail. I know I've got a couple hundred more from today that I haven't got to yet and I know that I've responded to a few hundred already today. I actually spend between 4-6 hours per day responding to e-mails and these things and the rest of the day processing my lessons to send out and sending the download links.
@47vito47 I'm no master, but if you write me at this screen name at AOL , I'll hook you up so you never have to take another guitar lesson in your life for sure.
Yeah I know, all I hear is Gibson this and Gibson that when truthfully you can pick up an Alvarez (which is just as good if not better) for a fraction of the price.
@47vito47 You are dead on my friend. Gibson don't have a single thing on Alvarez. A good guitar is a good guitar no matter the decal on the headstock.
@47vito47 Cool. I'm a huge fan of the Alvarez too. When my Martin continually splits in half, the Alvarez stays perfect decade after decade. Alvarez don't get nearly enough credit for sure.
@47vito47 It's the 2007 SG-3 guitar of the week, Ebony with the 3 single coils and 6 position rotary switch, case, warranty etc. $800.00 shipped. The exact same axe that is for sale here. Just type in Scott Grove Gibson SG and I review both of the ones I had, black and Fireburst, the Firburst has already sold.
@KingofPho75 Sure, I have tons of them. It simply means that it was made int the 1980's. The Fender serial numbers and the year they were manufactured are that way on purpose. Serials beginning with "S" = Seventies, "E" = Eighties, "N" = Ninetys, "Z" = Zeros (for the 2000 decade). So, use the letter and the first number to determine the year the guitar was made. So an "E" series guitar from fender would be like E856381 would be made in 1988 and so on E being Eightys and 8 after = 88 (1988)
@HGrayMusic Thank you very much. Maybe the kids will wise up some day and realize how great these are and spend their money on a real axe. It might take them another 20 years. lol
hey i recently got a white peavey t 60 just like that one everything is exactly the same except it doesnt have the blade pick ups... they look just like those pick ups but without the silver blades in the middle... any input?
@HGrayMusic Yes, they only made the white finish for one year. The first part of the run was still using the old pickups, the ones yours has. Then Peavey changed the pickups for the remainder of the next decade to the kind mine has with the rails. So, yours was simply earlier in that one year of production so it has the old style pickups in them. They are much brighter sounding than the blade style pickups. So, that is the low down on them. The T-40 and T-60 before 1981 have your type.
@Zuhzuhzombie Cool, I'm still waiting on a slow Craig's Lister in some part of the country to send me his white T-40 bass. He isn't big on shipping it. I assured him that I would pay double the shipping costs and he's still pissing in the wind over having to drive his Oldsmobile down to the post office. lol The short scale T-15 and T-30 are cool guitars too. Just great instruments in the great days of Peavey USA.
Hey Scott...you've mentioned that the T-60 and the T-25 (which I still haven't been able to pick up yet :( ) sound identical. How? I would think that the 23 fret neck would change the neck pup tone. Does it?
@MrGANator100 It would, but the T-60 has SOOO much extra room at the end of the fretboard that you could easily have put a 22nd fret on there and the pickup is further away from the end of the neck than that of the 25. So, it actually evens out. Why they didn't just drop a 22nd fret on the 60 is beyond me. I guess the lack of the extra fret kept the total cost of the entire run down. lol
@JacobSijsma I have to agree with you my friend. This one really is a much better sounding and feeling guitar than all of my Telecasters. The overall quality is superb too.
Thanks for the vid; I'm always interested in T series stuff when it turns up on YT. I have a T15 and a T60 and they are both virtually bulletproof; especially the T60. The T60 sounds great through my Calssic 30 and (imho) better still through my 50 watt Burman (perhaps a bit obscure for our friends in the US but a great british amp from the 70's-80's and also bulletproof!) I have a Strat and Tele which I love but not as solidly made. I'm proud to play all my US guitars through my British amp!
@1946levin My pleasure my friend! I hear you big time. It sounds like you are all set up there. I would love to hear your Burman. You are 100% about the Fender axes not being as solid as the Peavey. People really need to discover the greatness of the early Peavey axes. So many people spending way too much money for inferior guitars. lol
Hi Scott i bought a new T60 in1980 it is still going all no repaires great guitar also i have a peavey foundation bass & T40 bass some of the best ever made.
@carpeel You have a trio of the best axes made. I'm trying to land a matching T-40 from Craig's List as we speak. It's hard to get those people to ship because they always think it's a scam when someone wants them to ship it. I hope he don't scare too easily. I love the foundations too. Great Basses. These things never break down on you. Quality at it's best.
@UkeOfEarl Thanks my friend. Yeah, these are amazing and the fingerboard is a super flat and thin one. Like a 20" radius. As flat as they get and it is just the most amazing neck. The legends are true. lol
you should do a review on the hamer talladega pro, such a cool guitar and sounds amazing, but there are no real reviews of them on youtube. my personal favorite guitar
@SoAwesomelyFunny LOL, I just say whatever comes to me at the moment. I could add Winehouse, Hendrix, and soooo many others to it and have a hell of a song. lol
@MrGANator100 Mercy my friend, that is a heck of a deal and they sound identical. The T-25 is a bit lighter too, which is a great thing. lol Enjoy that new axe.
hey Scott, I'm a big fan of your guitars reviews, very interesting stuff, because one can tell your speak from the heart and with real experience about guitars. I'm collecting guitars myself, a really tiny piece of a collection compared to your gallery. I got a Westone Concord I few weeks ago, I must say I'm really impressed with it. Did you put your hands on these guitars? Do you own some? Mine is from 1983, comes with 2 single coil pickups. (I wish I can find once of these Peavey T series).
@raphory Hi my friend. Thank you very much! The Westone Concords are GREAT guitars. Made in the famous Matsumoku factory in Japan. Same with Aria Pro and Electra etc. Some of the very best guitars ever made. Hang on to that thing. They are quickly becoming very collectible. I've had a few over the decades and will probably grab up another one. You should do a review of it and post it. I'd like to check it out.
@DHY2KA Very cool. You'll probably never have any trouble out of the T-60. Peavey really made these things so very well. These deserve to be known as one of the best guitars of all time.
Thanks for the thorough review. Seems like an awesome guitar (thinking about picking one up in a trade). One thing I wanted to mention is that there is _one_ other guitar that has a similar tone option for splitting the coils: the HH Jaguar that Fender started putting out a few years back has little rollers above the hummies that do the same thing. Agree--it is total genius.

@Caveira138 Horrible Idea, just get a strap that is 2" wider than what you are using and it will feel like it weighs half of what it does. Never, ever destroy a guitar like that. That would be like painting a pecker on the Mona Lisa's forehead.

Have you found that the ones with the Rosewood or Ebony fret board are more desirable?
mapleblackdrums 2 weeks ago
@mapleblackdrums I find Ebony and Rosewood less desirable. Maple is a lot better actually. They stay much cleaner and don't collect dirt like the other fingerboards do. The dark fingerboard looks cooler on this particular color scheme, but you have to really clean that fretboard all the time or your fingers will constantly be grinding into the crud built up on those fingerboards and then you would shove that dirt into the windings of your strings if you didn't use Elixir strings.
groovydjs 2 weeks ago
@groovydjs
At t60mafia.com that is not what I am finding. Chip Todd, the designer of the T-60 posts there everyday. I guess the rosewood fret board is harder to find now because it was a $50 upgrade back then. To find a rosewood fret board on a natural-ash body I rare I guess. Which doesn't make it better just rarer. I have a natural with rosewood, Wanna trade for one of your Tele's? Ha Ha.
mapleblackdrums 2 weeks ago
@mapleblackdrums I actually like the T-60's a LOT more than my Telecasters. I hate Telecasters actually. All except for the James Burton Signature models, and even then I don't like the Fender scale length. I've always found it interesting how they will charge a LOT more to do a refret on a maple fingerboard over a rosewood or ebony. I guess because of the harder wood and it's harder to pull and seat the frets. So, you end up paying eventually. lol

groovydjs 3 weeks ago
Hey Scott. Sorry to keep at you with questions about strings, but I put 9's on my T-60 and now I have the big E and the A strings buzzing. The big E buzzes open and all up and down the fretboard. The A buzzes open and up the neck. I think the guitar was set up for 10's or 11's. The easiest adjustment is the neck tilt. Do you think tilting the neck back just enough to get the strings a little higher in the nut will help? No buzz in the smaller strings. Thanks
John Lindsey
LoveThatTeleTwang 3 weeks ago
@LoveThatTeleTwang Hi John. It will most likely be a truss rod adjustment that needs to be done and possibly just a little height adustment done on just that side of the bridge since the little strings are doing fine. You would need to simply loosen the truss rod about a turn. The 10's put more tension on the neck, the 9's are allowing the neck to straighten out TOO MUCH and by loosening that truss rod about a turn should let the neck correct itself back to where it was. Keep me posted.
groovydjs 3 weeks ago
@groovydjs Hey Scott, I had to replace 3 strings because my son wound them wrong and didn't leave any slack. I should have checked that first, but he's changed strings before without a problem. So now what I have is no open buzzing, but the big E and A buzz from the 7th fret up. I didn't want to touch the truss rod until I gave you the new info.
I wish I could smack the kid, but he just bought me a Nashville Tele, so I guess I have to give him a pass this time.
John
LoveThatTeleTwang 2 weeks ago
@LoveThatTeleTwang This is where it's always tricky with these type of bridges, same as Gibson stuff, you can't adjust the height of single strings. If your strings are just too close to the fretboard, then you'll need to raise the low side of your bridge just enough to get past the buzzing point, but if it's far off the fretboard to begin with, then it will need the truss rod adjusted or the micro tilt hex screw in the middle of your neck plate adjusted. Let me know how the action is.
groovydjs 2 weeks ago
@groovydjs Hey Scott, this is very unscientific, but I can fit a nickel between the big string and the 12th fret and have a little play left over. If I try to slide 2 dimes in, the string moves very slightly. A nickel is about 5/64" thick, so my best guess would be the action of the big string is 3/32 - 7/64".
All the numbers aside, when I eyeball it, I see the action as high enough and wouldn't want it any higher.
Thanks
John
LoveThatTeleTwang 2 weeks ago
@LoveThatTeleTwang Ok, that makes sense. Here is the part that will make it all come together. Is the measurements of string height more than that or less than that at your highest frets?
groovydjs 2 weeks ago
@groovydjs It's a little higher at the 21st. Not by much, but it is higher. Thanks.
LoveThatTeleTwang 2 weeks ago
@LoveThatTeleTwang That sounds right and if you're getting buzz still, then it might very well just be a high fret or two that need to be filed down. To they buzz all the way up the entire neck after that spot or just on those couple of frets?

Hey Scott the Duosonic I was going to get ended up slipping through my fingers. So I got a 1978 Peavey T60 original hardshellcase and all! Only paid $250 for it, everything works and it was refretted a few years ago, easily one of the best guitars I've ever owned. All I gotta say is USA! USA! USA!

@groovydjs Got my T-60 today. Dang it's pretty. My son is downstairs playing 'Luther's Boogie' on it right now. Judging by the fretboard, it's spent most of its 30 years in the case. Now all I gotta do is experiment with the settings on my Vox VT15 (don't laugh, it's all I could afford) to get "that sound." I'm thinking about getting a T-15 to keep it company.

@JohnLindseyJr VERY COOL! Isn't it just too coo?!!!! Those little Vox amps have a nice sound to them actually.

Then we can both have a groovy set!
groovydjs 1 month ago
One other question - is there any play on the switches on your T-60? Mine just arrived (not in as great of condition as I had hoped - a couple of nicks w/bare wood showing but that's another matter) - white w/rosewood like yours, but it has the flat style switches instead of the bat ones (I like yours better), and I can wiggle them back and forth sideways, so they don't have a real 'solid' feel. The nuts holding them on the pickguard are tight.

I don't get to try anything out before I buy it, so just off of what they are....I'll probably never see any of them, let alone ever be in a position to actually touch or hear any of them.
Many thanks.
groovydjs 1 month ago
Great video. I am about to buy that same guitar (white, rosewood) that I found on craigs, also in great condition. One question I have is about the coil splitting with the tone knobs. How does turning the tone knob to switch from single to humbuck make it more versatile than a push-pull switch on the knob? Doesn't that method give you full tone control adjustment range for each pickup in both single and humbuck mode, instead of partial tone control range with theT-60 method?
tmann202 1 month ago
@tmann202 Very cool! Easy enough answer on the coil splitting. As you are fading the tone from 10 to 7 where the humbucker is in FULL humbucking mode, you are actually not only just getting less high end on the single coil, you are adding the second coil in at the same time. So, that probably should've been mentioned, So, you can have a single coil on full volume and the 2nd coil on that same pickup on at half volume when the tone control is on about 8.5. Pretty groovy stuff.
groovydjs 1 month ago
Scott: I just bought a mint one that looks exactly like yours. Mine is a 1982 model (according to serial #). I had two quick questions - (1) Mine doesn't have that steel nut like a couple of other T-60s I used to own. Is this normal for some? I'm not sure if mine is bone or plastic, but it is white like yours; (2) My phase & PUP selector switches are not rounded on the tips, but have more of a 'flat' look to them. Do you know anything about this? On one I just sold, I had one of each.
grascfretal 1 month ago
@grascfretal Yeah, Peavey was trying all kinds of things with these right off the bat and there were switch types being used every week, nut types swapped out via Peavey and by users. You never knew what you were going to get from Peavey for the first few years. Some of these switches were great big, rounded off things also. So, it really is a crap shoot with what parts were going to come on it from week to week. So, to say that one part is "STOCK" over another is really impossible to say.

@pdorn777 Thank you very much. Great guitar. Yes, the necks are thin. It's one of the great things about it. It is exactly the same scale length as Fender guitars (25 1/2"). So, they are no harder to play than any other Fenders. The neck is what a famous man over at Fender named Dan Smith did to Stratocaster necks while he was in charge of making them in the very beginning of the 80's. They feel identical. So, they are actually a very sought after neck profile by a lot of guitar players.

You know, as soon as I hit the "enter" key I knew that was wrong. I got my T60 in 1978, not 1973. Serial number 226956. The music store in Missoula told me that each Peavey dealer got one, he called it a "market test". After all these years, I just had a good luthier rework the neck - new frets, planed and polished, took a few little dings out. It's like brand new now and I just love it. By the way, love your video, you have serious chops!

Hey Scott, I found one of these for sale. It looks like a real beauty, I just don't know what I should pay for it. Here are the pictures: imgur. com/a/D3yp3
The message he just sent was "Hey there. I'd look for around $350 (including shipping charges) cash, or somewhere in the $350-$400 range in trade. As far as trades go, I like classic guitars, teles, SGs, stuff like that." I have a Tele and an SG exactly, but I'm not sure if I want to give up either. Are they really worth it?

@italiansrock101 That one is in great condition and is worth exactly what he's asking for it. Is it better that a Tele or and SG? In my oppinion, I would trade every Tele and ever SG in the world in on one single T-60. Yep, that's the truth, but then again....I hate Tele's and SG's. lol So, that is really your call. That one looks to be from around 1979 era because of the toaster pickups, which are slightly different than the ones that are in the one in my video. They are the older ones.

@groovydjs Thanks for the info. I've decided not to buy from this guy. I understand you dislike the SG's and the Tele's, but I love em. So I'll keep mine. But I'm going to end up purchasing a Peavey off eBay. After all your positive feedback, I've decided I need to see one for myself. Would you recommend the T-60 or the T-27?
italiansrock101 2 months ago
@italiansrock101 I honestly like the T-27's better because of being a Strat sound kind of guy. The T-60 will give you the Tele sounds and the SG sounds both out of the one guitar and has a MUCH thinner neck than both of them. So, be aware that the Peavey's have some of those cool, thin necks that the palm of your hand never even touches. The T-27 skips the Tele and SG sounds all together and simply sounds like a Strat with the addition of having the ability of the humbucker in the bridge.

tbalek1 2 months ago
@tbalek1 The Peavey T-60 was conceived in 1976, the first one was made in late 1977 and was not sold to the public until 1978. It was Peave's first guitar. So, for one to exist in 1973 is quite impossible. But, I agree. There is nothing like them. They are a superb axe that should be worth what a Les Paul and Telecaster combined are worth. Why? Because they are every bit as good as both and they get both sounds and they simply Play better and are made better than both combined.
groovydjs 2 months ago
thats nuts i was checking some of these peaves and found a t-60 for $250 and im like $250 for a guitar that sounds that good and is made in the US. but iv got my eyes on a t-60 and a mystic now iv already played a mystic at my guitar store and for $300 it sounded awesome and after seeing your mystic vid i think im the biggest dumb ass for not getting it but i wanted to ask which is better sounding and
has better playablity the t-60 or the mystic.
OWNGEMASTER1993 3 months ago
@OWNGEMASTER1993 Yeah, these are the best kept secrets in the world for sure. The Mystic is a slight bit brighter sounding (nothing that a twist of knobs on the front of your amp won't take care of in about 2 seconds). Otherwise, they are pretty much the same guitar. The T-60 is MUCH heavier. But, that doesn't make any difference in the tone at all. It's easier to find a clean looking T-60 because the kids are always banging the Mystics into walls and covering them with stickers. lol
groovydjs 3 months ago
Love your vids. Have to ask though, does the single coil sound option make it sound like a tele or strat? I was looking at getting this but I already have a nice MIM Telecaster so I was looking for something with a different sound. And also, I heard the humbuckers can blow LP's stock pickups out of the water.
julianking93 3 months ago
@julianking93 Thank you. Someone has been telling you a bunch of garbage. The typical Strats and Telecasters will have single coil pickups in them. Some have all humbuckers too. Whoever told you about the stock pickups of a Les Paul being this or that is not very bright. Les Pauls come with tons of DIFFERENT pickups stock in them. All depending on what you want it to sound like. All of my Les Pauls have different pickups in them and they are all stock and very, different. Peavey will do all.

Still, I'm in the market for a good guitar that basically can play stuff like heavier metal (not bright "hair" metal, by the way.) and Jimi Hendrix stuff too. Would this be a good buy for that? I found one on eBay for 200 plus a hardshell case. Or would soemthing different be better for my tastes? :o
julianking93 3 months ago
@julianking93 The main thing is that these guitars will do the humbucker sounds for your heavy stuff, then the single coil stuff for the the Hendrix sounds. Schecter guitars will often have a coil split on them too. So, it's really on how well you want the guitar to be built for the money. Any other guitar at that price will be a steaming pile of crap. lol The Peavey USA stuff haven't gone up yet on the collector market. I have no doubts that they will since most of them are foreign now.
groovydjs 3 months ago
@groovydjs Really? Okay, cool. I was looking at an Ibanez ART100 with Seymour Duncan Blackout pickups installed too that's also 200 with a bag. Schecter had some cool stuff but it seemed a little steep in price for me. So I guess it comes down to either that Ibanez or this. With your comments though, I'm obviously leaning more toward this Peavey. Already got a Peavey too. Rotor EXP and it... well dear lord is it amazing. Great sound and got it for 215 with a hardshell off ebay lol
julianking93 3 months ago
@julianking93 Yep, really. Stay away from the Seymour Duncan pickups too. They are easily the worst sounding pickups ever made. The Rotor EXP is actually a cool guitar. It has a body shape that would fit your style more, but this BIG, old axe will always sound better and be better than the Ibanez junk, the Rotor or ANY Schecter.
groovydjs 3 months ago
@groovydjs Hm. Always heard SD pups were great but after listening to a few sound tests.... eh... the clean tones are quite shit. Don't write off Ibanez entirely. I have the JTK2 which actually is really good. A lot of their other stuff is shit like lower end models from 1 - $500 but.... eh it's still shit XD Love my Rotor more though. Has great pups and is very diverse, at least for me. Anyway, thanks for the help! I guess I'll just add another Peavey to my collection then ^_^
julianking93 3 months ago
@julianking93 True, the Duncans are the worst sounding pickups I've ever heard. Every model. Yep, I've heard them all. Ibanez is shit due to the people that work there more so than their products. Hartley Peavey will come over to your house for dinner if you invite him to. The folks at Ibanez will tell you to shove it if you had a 6 course meal delivered to them by the Playboy Plamates. They really suck that bad. lol

@LWRCftw Never heard of them, hear them or saw them. I'll try to hunt something down that has it in them and see if they can do a great clean, single coil country sound.
groovydjs 3 months ago
@groovydjs well, tbh, they have more of a gainy, driven sound. idk whether or not they'd be good for country music.
LWRCftw 3 months ago
@LWRCftw Yeah, I'm not into any high gain sounds at all. I look for underwound, very Stratocaster sounding clean tones. All distorted stuff pretty much sounds the same despite the pickup.
groovydjs 3 months ago
@groovydjs What do you think of Dearmond pickups? like the ones they had in the old Gretsches?
LWRCftw 3 months ago
@LWRCftw I honestly don't like them for my personal type of music. I don't like the Gretsches either. Just not my thing at all. I know a lot of people love them and that they are the only way to get "that" sound. But as I said, they just are the complete opposite of what I really like. I'm not a fan of humbuckers at all either. So, it's nothing that I would personally consider.

I got an 81' T60 with a hard case and not a scratch on the guitar. It's not white though, its natural. It does a lot, and sounds good doing it. I also have a 25 watt Peavey Bravo tube amp from around 91' which gets a wide range of sounds too. Both made in U.S.A. all for right around $500. I added a custom made (greenback) Weber speaker and it really makes it all come together

just got a 79 with the toaster pick ups and case. in mint condition. so many sounds and tones. Hums punch. strat singles. love scoop switch harmonics a plenty.
Great neck, tuners. top shelf guitar. Only problem is I played it for about tens minutes and noticed the beutiful neck wood, I stopped and really looked over guitar. its like brand new not a scratch! no fret wear. nothing. its to nice for me to trash. I'd put more wear on it in a week than the last 33 yrs. Never had this problem before.

@BlueRoseRocketBand2 I know exactly how you feel my friend. Congrats on the T-60 by the way! You'll have to get another with just a small bit of milage on it and play the heck out of it and keep that amazing thing to admire and pull out on just the special occasions. One day, people will figure out just how great these are and they will actually go up in price! Na ! The average guitar player isn't smart enough to figure that out. lol
groovydjs 4 months ago
Hey Scott, Just got a killer deal on one of these from craigslist. You should try setting the pickups out of phase with the bridge on single coil, neck on humbucker, and set the volume knob on the bridge to about 7 and the neck to 10, its really deep sounding. That phase switch can generate some nice tones if you play with the knobs. Thanks for this review!!! I was already thinking of getting the T-60 before I saw this, and the review helped seal the deal. Thanks!

@taltor727 Awesom my friend and congratulations on scoring one of these! I'm off to try your settings. Thanks for the head's up. There's not much that these things can't do huh? Makes playing a Tele seem kind of silly huh? lol Thanks again and a knob twiddling I will go. lol
groovydjs 4 months ago
Hey Scott, just wondering if (and I would never do, or endorse anyone doing this) you replaced the pickups, with new humbuckers, would the tone circuit still work the same way? Like if you put in two super distortion pickups, would it make them single coils when the tone was at 10, or is it the tone circuit/pickup combo? Also could this circuit be replicated on another guitar by a layman, or is it over an amateur's head?
CCGuitarGod 4 months ago
@CCGuitarGod It's a cool circuit that you could do yourself if you had the schematics (they are available online) and are a monster with a soldering iron. You can swap the pickups with any other splittable humbuckers and it will do the same thing. You will need a new pickguard made if you were to put new pickups into one of these axes since the pickups are so much larger than typical Humbuckers. But, easy enough to do and they offer them on Ebay and any pickguard maker will make them for you.

i received the t60 back in 1979 or maybe it was 81 my pic-ups do not have that bar in the middle wow ejnoyed your demo i had no idea how those different nobs and switches worked im sure some of it had to do with the peddles you were using
there was a time i was thinking about getting rid of my peavey t60 but after watching your review im going to keep it
1965nterp 5 months ago
@1965nterp Your guitar would've been made between 79 and early 81....correct. The pedals you think you are hearing are actually just the effects that are built into my amplifier, there are no actual pedals, just a controller for the amp. The best sound on the T-60 is always going to be with all knobs on 10 and the pickup selector in the middle (both pickups on) position and the phase switch (2 way switch) up or closest to the top of the guitar or neck. Do it like that and I bet you keep it!

afaella3 5 months ago
@afaella3 Thank you very much! There were several others that incorporated the same wiring etc. Such as the Horizion II (SUPERB AXE),The Razer and Mystic (wild looking things) and on and on, as far as the T series guitars go you had the T-15 which had a short scale and 2 super ferite pickups (great little bluesy guitar), the T-30 which has 3 single coils and is a short scale too. The T-25 is the same as the T-60 just half the weight, the T-26 has 3 single coils and T-27 singles and humbucker.
groovydjs 5 months ago
@groovydjs I like a bit of heft so a nice T-60 might be just what im looking for.Thanks a lot Scott! You rock!
afaella3 5 months ago
@afaella3 Yeah, HEFT it has in spades and then it has that thinner neck. Like someone gave it that "Jackson" treatment. It's nice and flat and not a big, chunky neck, but a big chunky body. So, the neck is built for speed and the body is built like a log cabin. The electronics are second to none and it's all USA and the price is STUPID low for such great guitars. Keep me posted on what you end up with.

Hi. Came across your T-40 review yesterday and now found this. Brilliant!! I have a T-60 and a T-40 for every month of the year and I love 'em. You have had a lot of guitars and you recognise how good the T-60 is. Just for your ref, yours is a 1983, with Bat switches. White was an option from 79 . Honest and informative review of a truly great guitar. Cheers. :) Google Flat Eric's Bass & Guitar and you will see some of mine, including a rare Wine Colour posted August 2010. :)

I said it of your review on the T-40 and I'll say it about this review it is by far the best review of the T-60 on the web. I high school sweetheart gave me my T-60 back when they first came out (my serial number begins with the "M") I've gigged with her ever since and every where from CBGB's back in 79 to every unknown watering hole and dirty little festival you can think of and she still sounds as good as the day I got her. Thanks again for the great review.
buhmabee 5 months ago
Great review! I've had my T-60 for around five years. It's been painted black and the pick guard has been modified and some of the holes filled in. But the electronics are perfect and the guitar plays nicely. The previous owner also scraped the Peavey logo off the headstock.. I sent it to Chip Todd and he replaced the sticker with a slightly different one and he honored my request for his signature on the back. Awesome!
I am thinking of a new guitar but this review has made me reconsider.

Congrats on a very informed and accurate review of the T-60. I've played strats and Les Pauls and always come back to my T-60 which was purchased new in '79. This model is a very well-built tank. After nuclear Armageddon there will remain only cockroaches, Keith Richards, and T-60's.

@dosware This is about the most accurate comment posted yet! Thanks by the way! Yeah, you can always come back "HOME" to the T-60. There are tons of guitars in the world. Each will serve a need or fit the bill for a certain thing for the time being. But you are right, you always come back to the T-60 and wonder why you actually even bother with other guitars. lol They are like you favorite pair of jeans.....they just fit. I also love how you tossed KEEF in with the cockroaches! LOL

Hi Scott--Wondering if you got the message I sent you about this guitar? Wanted to find out some additional details, like if you know a range of how many were made...quite a few or not that many? And about how much they are worth, etc. If you get a chance to read my message and respond, I'd really appreciate it. We are hoping to give it as a gift this week and wanted to have more info on it to share with the recipient. Thanks!

I love your collections and reviews. I'm a bass player, and your review of the T-40 is the best on the net. I had to go out and trade my MIA Fender Jazz for a T-40 as soon as I saw your review (and I wasn't alive when these were made, so it wasn't for nostalgia).
Quick question - how can you tell how old a T-40 or a T-60 is? My bass has the "blades," but is there a serial number code like with Fenders and Gibsons?
mikeymacaque 5 months ago
@mikeymacaque Hi my friend, I just sent you the Peavey serial number codes. They had them from 1978-1995. Since then, they require you to email it to them to get the year. Pretty crazy huh? Then again, not many axes of theirs made after that point that I would want.
groovydjs 5 months ago
Great demo of a great guitar. I have 4 of them, a white '81, black '80, a '78 and an '83 in natural. I also have one of the first prototype bodies I bought from Chip Todd, the designer of the T-60, going to build a custom T-60 with it. Has binding which he installed personally and is stained walnut. T-60's tend to be heavy unless you get a painted one which were normally made of popular instead of ash.

groovydjs 6 months ago
Thanks for the excellent review on a great guitar. I have a 78 natural finish model and the more I play it the better it gets. The neck took a while to get used to but once you do it's comfortable and fast. I looked at several new guitars for the same price and they seemed like toys. The T60 feels like a real high quality instrument that will last another 30 years.
ahoneyman 6 months ago
@ahoneyman You are so dead on! The guitars of today look pretty, but they sure feel like toys, just as you said. They really don't make them like they used to. You are right about the necks too. They are like the wide and flat things that would eventually be used in future Jacksons and such. But once you have that tamed, there's really no going back to a traditional type of neck. Great axes.
groovydjs 6 months ago
There's one of these on my local craigslist that I'm thinking about buying, there's no picture but he says it's a white T-60, does that automatically mean it's a 1981?
Thanks!
zachgrantmusic 6 months ago
@zachgrantmusic Yep, they did the old style, toaster pickups in early 1981 and switched to the blade pickups in mid 1981. It will be 1981. The blade pickups will look pretty close to the toaster style with the exception of the blades going down the center of the black parts of the pickups. The toaster style of pickups are not nearly as bright sounding as the blade pickups, not as much definition. So, keep that in mind when you go to check it out too.

have u ever heard of a e series strat? cause i found one for $400 but dont know if it is a good buy.
KingofPho75 6 months ago
@KingofPho75 Sure, I have tons of them. It simply means that it was made int the 1980's. The Fender serial numbers and the year they were manufactured are that way on purpose. Serials beginning with "S" = Seventies, "E" = Eighties, "N" = Ninetys, "Z" = Zeros (for the 2000 decade). So, use the letter and the first number to determine the year the guitar was made. So an "E" series guitar from fender would be like E856381 would be made in 1988 and so on E being Eightys and 8 after = 88 (1988)

HGrayMusic 6 months ago
@HGrayMusic Yes, they only made the white finish for one year. The first part of the run was still using the old pickups, the ones yours has. Then Peavey changed the pickups for the remainder of the next decade to the kind mine has with the rails. So, yours was simply earlier in that one year of production so it has the old style pickups in them. They are much brighter sounding than the blade style pickups. So, that is the low down on them. The T-40 and T-60 before 1981 have your type.

groovydjs 7 months ago
Hey Scott...you've mentioned that the T-60 and the T-25 (which I still haven't been able to pick up yet :( ) sound identical. How? I would think that the 23 fret neck would change the neck pup tone. Does it?
MrGANator100 7 months ago
@MrGANator100 It would, but the T-60 has SOOO much extra room at the end of the fretboard that you could easily have put a 22nd fret on there and the pickup is further away from the end of the neck than that of the 25. So, it actually evens out. Why they didn't just drop a 22nd fret on the 60 is beyond me. I guess the lack of the extra fret kept the total cost of the entire run down. lol

It does sound good! I would pick that guitar over any telecaster any day. the reggae nirvana thing cracked me up haha.

Thanks for the vid; I'm always interested in T series stuff when it turns up on YT. I have a T15 and a T60 and they are both virtually bulletproof; especially the T60. The T60 sounds great through my Calssic 30 and (imho) better still through my 50 watt Burman (perhaps a bit obscure for our friends in the US but a great british amp from the 70's-80's and also bulletproof!) I have a Strat and Tele which I love but not as solidly made. I'm proud to play all my US guitars through my British amp!

I'm collecting guitars myself, a really tiny piece of a collection compared to your gallery. I got a Westone Concord I few weeks ago, I must say I'm really impressed with it. Did you put your hands on these guitars? Do you own some? Mine is from 1983, comes with 2 single coil pickups. (I wish I can find once of these Peavey T series).

@raphory Hi my friend. Thank you very much! The Westone Concords are GREAT guitars. Made in the famous Matsumoku factory in Japan. Same with Aria Pro and Electra etc. Some of the very best guitars ever made. Hang on to that thing. They are quickly becoming very collectible. I've had a few over the decades and will probably grab up another one. You should do a review of it and post it. I'd like to check it out.
