![]() The satin finish on natural ash makes the Peavey T-60 look like a piece of grandma’s furniture. The Peavey T-60 is heavy, like a Les Paul, but with an oddly thin neck, like a Stratocaster. The neck is maple with a thin profile, like a modern Strat, while the body is three-piece ash. There are also switches for coil tapping and putting the pickups out of phase with each other. The funky humbucking pickups are single coils until you roll the tone knob down to around the 7 spot then the dual coil humbuckers kick in. The T-60 was Peavey’s top-of-the-line instrument, and it’s a Swiss Army knife of a guitar, combining the best features of a Fender Stratocaster and a Gibson Les Paul. There is cosmetic wear on the body and neck because it has been played so much. The previous owner had a brass nut and brass hardware installed professionally. It has quite a few dings and scratches but she still plays exceptionally. The company built American-made instruments during the 1970s and ’80s, rock solid guitars and basses that never quite caught on with a bigger audience of guitar players. A Gibson Grabber pickup has been professionally installed, which sounds fantastic. NBD Mahogany body Peavey Patriot on: March 31, 2014, 06:56:21 AM I was making the rounds this past Saturday and came across a 1980's Peavey Patriot with a natural oil finish mahogany body, I sold these back in the day at the H.O.G. Peavey electric guitars were a brilliant failure that are a bit of a collector’s item. Our Rock Star friend Mike, who let us work on his Gibson Goldtop last month, brought a groovy Peavy T-60 in for a set-up.
