Peavey Review: T-60

History:

Purchase: This was my first Guitar,I purchased it from my uncle who bought it new in 1978. I paid $250.00 for it. He had several guitars that I could have purchased, but this one had its own unique look to it. (It is all solid OAK with a Maple Neck)

What I Like About This Peavey T-60: I now have several guitars(6) and none of them feel like they are built as solid as the Peavey. It is very easy to restring and tune. In fact it keeps a tune quicker than any of my other guitars do after being restrung. Including my Les Paul Custom!!! Once its tuned it doesnt come out of tune. I think it has orignal Grover Tuners on it. It sounds awesome with its two chrome covered Seymour Duncan Humbuckers ,and has several different sound combinations. I like the fact that each pickup has its own tone and volumes along with phaser switches. Its as reliable as any of my guitars, and just looks great with the solid natural oak body and black pickguard. The neck is very slim for fast action.

What I Do NOT Like About The Peavey T-60: The only thing I have ever disliked about this guitar is its overall weight. You pay for it being constructed so well after you have been on stage for two plus hours playing it. I now use it as my backup, and primarily play the les paul custom, which is heavy in its own right, but not as heavy as the Peavey. I also dont like the fact that Peavey Guitars are so underrated, especially being manufactured in the USA.

Peavey T-60 Quality Rating: As I said before You will be hard pressed t ofind a Better Built Guitar!!! Even with a bolt on neck this baby is Stout. Quality is great, it always stays in tune, to prove it I will tell a very short story At a college party a few years back I was playing, and had had a few to many if you know what I mean. I got a little cocky and threw her up in the air to show of in the middle of a solo, what I didnt realize was there was a ceiling fan right above me. The Guitar hit the ceiling fan, and was slung a good distance across the room. I picked it up and hit a G Chord, and it was still in tune!!!! You cant beat the Humbucker Sound as far as My taste goes. This guitar has quality written all over it, and if you can find one for sale, buy it!! They are hard to find, because people love them, and wont sell them!!!

Review Summary: The Peavey T-60 is a great all around Guitar, whether you play Rock/Blues/or Country, you will love it. It always stays in tune, which is very important to most players, and with its Double Humbuckers you could close your eyes and not tell it apart from my Gibson Tone Wise. You can actually play it in single coil mode as well, if you back the tone knobs down, and adjust your phaser switches. So its very versatile. The price is another reason to get this one, right now these guitars are not very expensive, but they are hard to find. I would have to say its one of the most if not the most underrated Guitar I have ever played, seen or heard of.
