I was gassing on one of those Chinese humbucker telecasters, but just didn't want to pay the $500 for one. Stumbled across this one used at Guitar Center for under $100. Win!

Pickups aren't bad. I might swap in a Red/Red Dually Lace pickup and a Blue in the neck like Greenwood. I like the orange metallic paint job and the black binding is pretty cool.

A bound Candy Tangerine was always top of my list for Tele colours but never would pay the cost of an American Deluxe... Freakin sweet deal. Nice

the deluxe versions have saddle pickups for fake acoustic sondz

I have a few Peaveys (and a Peavey amp). They are pretty great really. Well built, good fretwork, solid. Hard not to like them.

Love that colour. Peavey are real underrated guitars even their tube amps are real good.

I've always wanted to try a Peavey Reactor, it was the US made Tele that was around the same time as the Predator.
Never actually seen one in the UK though.

There would have been no question to buy it if it was called SEX.

My Peavey Renown 212 is a cool amp. Peavey makes some cool stuff. I know a bunch of people like those little Bandit amps.

Have you ever played those peavey t60 guitars? a friend of mine owns one and it sounds and plays amazing also usa made and quite cheap. (well last time I checked they were lol)

I do have a T26. It is pretty sweet.

Are they the ones with those blade style single coils? if so what do they sound like? (like a phat single coil or vintage sounding etc.....)

To me it sounds like a strat with more gain, but it has been awhile. I like it a lot though.

This is it next to my black Patriot. I also have. Black Peavey Predator.

Both look amazing!!! always liked the grain on those t26 and the t60s

The transformation to more of a Telecaster Plus has started. It won't be the same of course, but it will be more similar.

First I had to take the old stuff off.

► Show Spoiler

Next I drilled the control plate and added new electronics. I am using a 500k push pull for the volume pot so I can coil tap. I added a TBX tone pot and a kill switch.

► Show Spoiler

Getting closer! Cooter is going to make me a new black pickguard that just has the neck pickup. I also have a three way switch on the way.

The mustard orange is pretty cool.

I like that it is bound.
