You'd have to pay me 125.00 to play a T-60.

It's now mine.
Looked into that quickly. Have you used the stuff? All aerosol based? Pretty easy product to use?
All the electronics are how they should be. The tone controls switching the pups from SC to HB is pretty cool.
Not pointy enough?

One thing worth mentioning about nitro tho is that it takes months to fully cure, so if that old peavey was originally finished in a more modern paint (im assuming 70s?), then i would go for that rather than nitro. Cheaper, easier, faster and more hard wearing. Tonally there is really no difference as long as you dont cake it on super thick.
I used another brand (wicked witch) but it worked fine.

Re: Would you buy this Peavey T-60....
that is a little bit confusing. A Pinto was a solid usa made car, you could fix the gas tank problem but...
Re: Would you buy this Peavey T-60....
this isnt a pinto. its a t60. i wouldnt buy a pinto for any price, id pay 150 for a t60 in decent shape if i had less than 20 guitars.

No offense intended, just sorta pulling the made in USA chain. Sometimes I think too much emphasis is placed on that but more in general than specifically. Like Korea can make some excellent guitars but their pickups stink. USA leads the world in building the best pickups.

Resale rule of thumb: as long as any modifications actually make the guitar better in some way, they don't hurt the resale except for collectors and a) who cares what collectors want and b) very few collectors would want one of those anyway.
I'd have bought it, too! In a heartbeat.
At this pointment you are free to do whatever you want to it. You might consider thinning down and/or chambering the body to cut down some of the weight. I dropped almost a half-pound off of a guitar with a lot of contouring and some thinning.

Re: Would you buy this Peavey T-60....
Yeah, I've heard these things were heavy, but holy crap!
So I've read, and heard on a few videos, that people like the blade pups better than these older toaster style (Guitar is a '79), saying these are too thin sounding. But I gotta say, I'm kind of liking the sound. They have sort of a fuzz sound to them. Which is different than any of my other HB guitars. I feel this guitar has a sound that'll be useful for some of my recording ideas.
As for the paint. I probably will bring it back to natural someday, but for now, I'll roll with it. Damn pickguards from WD are around $40 for a plain color! $70-$80 for a pearloid.

First of all, hit it like a bewitch in a trailer park that didn't bring your sammich fast enough.
- buck twenty five? HUGE win!
Now - Tear out every knob EXCEPT for the volume to the bridge, and remove the neck pup.
Then rock the bejabers out of it!!!!!! Looks like something ed would have done himself. VERY cool piece. Mucho Mojo.
