Location: Jet City | OK, The folks in the Peavey T-60 forum have been enduring the pics of Ovations, so it's the OFC's turn.
Just showed up today. 1981 T-60 burst with rosewood fretboard and blades.
SWEET! |

AJ Thanks AJ. They're Peavey pups. The early ones didn't have the rail going through the middle (known as "toasters" by T-60 aficionados), then about 1980 they came out with the ones pictured (known as "blades")
The tone knobs are dual function. From 1-7, it's a humbucker, once you roll that knob past 7, it splits the coils. The additional switch is phase. |

Location: Jet City | It's got that chip on the "6" on the headstock. Aside from some pick scratches on the pickguard, that's about it for blemishes. I'm pretty happy with it.
Now I need to sell one or both of the others |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Beautiful sunburst shows the grain of the underlying ash. Do you hire out for photo sessions? You must have some great cameras and lenses, something about which I don't know squat. |

Yes you must register a T-60 as a lethal weapon. I believe there's a 5 day waiting period. :rolleyes: |

I recently convinced a member to pick up an EliteT and he found a screaming deal on the T and a Taylor 410 as a bundled price from a guy. He didn't believe me at first, but I told him the Elite was the better guitar.
Today he put the Taylor up for sale. The T's a keeper! :D |
