If you have a "T" series peavey, share it here

I'll start:

Probably should just post pics in the guitar thread, as its not nearly common enough to have more than 1 or two other members post..

can i have a mod move it?

I didn't know these were shortscale. There's one just like yours for sale at my local GC, $300. Thought about snatching it up, it's got a nice vintage vibe and I love natural finishes...

Didn't Pens have one?

My first "new" guitar was a T-15 back in '85. Definitely a shortscale. Definitely a steaming pile! Superferrite indeed!!!

Pretty sure I had one of the basses a loooong time ago -- T40? T60?
It wasn't very good, but then neither was I...

Do these things use conversion necks or are they "proper" shortscales?

what is a conversion neck?

It's a neck that "intonates" properly on a body built for a different scale. Same bridge placement (same bridge-to-neck-heel distance), different scale. The last few frets of fretboard are hacked off and heel is moved forward to compensate.

I bought a T15 neck, which arrived today. It is indeed a conversion neck when matched up with a body in a way that makes sense w/r/t the neck's contours and mounting hole positions. There's enough space for a 20th fret when the neck is lined up like that, so there's a difference in pocket configurations between the standard "strat" and Peavey T.

I imagine that the T25, T26, and T27 have 24.75" conversion necks. They could be useful for anyone looking to make a Peavey-headstocked Toronado/Jagmaster II hybrid/abomination. I'd do it.

Or a 24.75" Jag HH, maybe. All it'd take is a little neck pocket surgery.

peavey t necks are my favorite right now

I had a T-60 that I sold on craigslist. I would have loved to convert it to lefty but I felt wrong defiling a perfectly well made 60's instrument like that.

The necks on Peavey's have always been really nice. The T-60 had the same neck as my much later Predator.

Here is a T-60 local to me
pretty cool looking guitar

My friend's store has a Peavey Patriot w/OHSC for $200

It looks like this one but it has it has a trem bridge and Gibson speed knobs.

Those pickups are class. Really nice and bright - bit like a Rick pickup. I'd kill for some more, traded away the guitar with them in foolishly.

i did.........miss it.

piss. nate has a peavy ripper bass, i think its a T60.


it weighs more than i do
