James, I bought the twin to your guitar, color and all, and these are great guitars. Fast neck, varying tone range and very affordable. Jerry Reed played one for years and the late great Phil Baugh had his foot pedal setup hooked to a T-60.
This should find a nice home for somebody.

Trivia for SGF members: know who suggested the design for the blendable (via tone pot) humbucker/single-coil configuration of the pickup system for the T-60?

Great article, and great links to other T60 info. I am also a T60 fan and collector, if I didn't already have one of these sunburst models this would be mine. This color scheme is my favorite. I have one of every color that Peavey offered and two of some colors. I even have one with a Phil Baugh style pedal attachment. I also have several T40 basses, I think I have all the colors they offered in them also. I need to get them out of the closet and take pics of all of them someday. These are great guitars.

I have a t-60 question

The early natural ones,what wood were they made of. I had one a long time ago and loved it . Should never have sold it.

mark t-60,s website says the body,s were made of select ash hardwoods laminated for stability. i,d boughten t-40 new in natural ash back in 79-80 but it got stolen. i still wish i had bass that,s why i,d bought t-60 when i had the chance earlier this year. James

I have heard there is a demand for these, but I didn't know anyone would deicate a website to them. That's cool. I've got a blond one. I need to get it out and check the serial #, but it's early 80's. I bought it myself for around $250.00 if I remember. It has the hard molded case and it's hardly been played. I found it real touchy on stage. The slightest tweeking will change the tone dramatically.
Bump for the T-60........

I can not understand why these guitars do not command a higher price. Every one I have ever had or played has been a wonderful guitar. I love Fenders but truth be told a T60 is a much better guitar, in my opinion.
I bought a new T40 bass (natural finish) in 1979 and if I remember correctly I paid $375 for it.[This message was edited by Doug Earnest on 11 November 2005 at 07:52 AM.]

Question:

Answer: They are great guitars, but heavy!

I'd rather be opinionated, than apathetic!

Yes they are heavy, but so is a Les Paul and they are somewhat popular! The heaviest guitar I have ever had is a Telecaster Custom, mid-70's vintage. I played it for a couple of years, the darn thing nearly crippled me. It does have a good sound, though. I take it out of the case and clean it every year or so.

Ever try a Travis Bean? Those were darn heavy.

There is nothing better that a T-60 when a fight breaks out...

I had a T-60 and a T-15 too. I can tell you what the problem with the value not appreciating on these is. They are not real purty! The Peavey logo and the pinstriping and the pickups, all suffer from an asthetic point of view in my humble opinion. Peavey made their mark on "Value" not "Looks" same with old Carvin. Hey I know I'm gonna get slammed on this by a few, but it's only recently that both Peavy and Carvin have gotten their design/ image up to the more expensive makers.
I just never got that little tingle and little voice saying "Man I gotta have one of those!"
I've owned G&L and Musicmans and they were also not beauties at their births (and in Musicman's case death) The new G&Ls , post 1990's are nicer looking than their Fender counterpoints.
OK shoot me now!
