I got my T-60 in 1978. I love it. I want to be buried with it. If angels played electric guitars I bet more than a few of them would be playing T-60's. (Just kidding about that last). It's too bad they don't make them anymore.
It's really gratifying to me to see so many videos of this great instrument here on YouTube. Thanks to everyone who puts one up.
The Peavey T-60 was my first electric guitar. I bought one new around 1978 but after going a long time without an amp traded it for a Yamaha 12 sting acoustic a few years after that :(
Neat guitar but at around 10 lbs it weighs more than a Les Paul. Built like a brick shit house. A place in town about 15 years ago had one as a rental 'cause they said it was indestructable!
Agreed. The most underrated American guitar on the planet. I've owned an '87 natural/maple fretboard the last 16 yrs. Gonna get an ivory nut thrown on it. The original was just trashed. When I play, I alternate evenly, between my American Strat, Paul and my T-60. If you have any maintenance advice otherwise, I'd love to hear it, cuz I will NEVER sell it :)
For 275 shipped I just bought a 1979 model in natural color - patent applied for model, with the ugly orange lined case- I cant wait for it to get here. It will be my third
Is the flat sound from just another utube recording ?or does the guitar have that high mid spike that peavey amps are known for.Stiff too, sorry, maybe some delay or compression?Peace out, Moses
last night I picked up a gorgeous t-60 off CL for 150 w/molded case. almost flawless except someone put different (non matching) pick-ups on it long ago. did that devalue it much? anyhow matches my son's t-40. both are the natural ash variety. bass is 1978. best kept secret for a Made in USA at Chinese prices. may get a video of it up one of these days.
My dad's had that guitar for about 17 years, almost as long as i've been alive, maybe longer. I am left handed and i play left handed guitars,but i don't think im converting this one once its mine.
I've bought two T-60s and two T-25s in the last month, for prices ranging from $177.50 to $475. They're plentiful on eBay and while prices are starting to climb, they're still amazingly affordable for a vintage American guitar
I bought mine new in 1978 - one of the very first made - I have tried every guitar on the planet since then, and none compares to my T60. Love it and I will never change!
im 13 and just got my own 1978 T-60 number 190 i belive and its a beauty. i love it and will never put it down. has original neck, and everything (not strings haha.)
I'll say its underated! I had one in there natural finish and loved it. ...if its good enough for Jerry Reed....BTW, thanks for the advice recently on the Stringmaster on Bobbes site. Got it the other day and I am loving it!!
how do you find out what year it is?? i have one that looks like a really old model but its very well taken care of... i wanna know the year

A friend of mine has this same guitar; I messed around with it yesterday. It weighs, like, 9,000lbs, and I could probably get it for free.
How much are they generally worth totally stock and in great shape?

Does anybody know where the T-60 website went? I tried rickalexander47's link and I get a comcast search engine saying page not found.

bought mine new in early 1982 for about
$375. Wouldn't take a $1000 for it
jaredeal210 2 years ago
You can still find them for about that same price.
I find that astounding, but I'm not complaining - I have 4 of them and I would never sell any of them.
The day will come when they'll be worth a lot more than $1000, and guess what?
I still won't sell them.
I'd only squander the money on food and bills anyway . .

I fell in love with this guitar back in 1982.
Always wanted one.
Mebbe I'll save up my nickels and dimes and finally break down and get one.

Why modify it? You can't buy better pickups or electronics.

don't change the pick-ups - they are solid gold.
a little touch-up on the internal electronics will certainly brighten it up, though, and i put a new pick-guard on mine to beautify it a little
