Peavey T-60 Electric Guitar – 1981 USA Model
Built in the USA and known for its legendary durability and versatility, the Peavey T-60 is a true sleeper classic. This 1981 model (Serial #00900533) comes from the golden era of Peavey’s American production, when these guitars earned a reputation as some of the most solidly built instruments ever made—often nicknamed “the tank.”
The T-60 features a hefty ash body paired with a hard rock maple neck and fingerboard, delivering bright attack, long sustain, and rock-solid tuning stability. Its dual Peavey humbuckers are where the magic really happens: thanks to Peavey’s innovative wiring, rolling back the tone controls smoothly splits the coils, giving you everything from thick, punchy humbucker tones to crisp, articulate single-coil sounds—all without flipping a switch.
From glassy cleans and classic rock crunch to punk, indie, and heavier styles, the Peavey T-60 covers serious tonal ground. Add in its distinctive body shape, bulletproof hardware, and unmistakable late-’70s/early-’80s vibe, and you’ve got a guitar that’s as unique as it is reliable.
Whether you’re a collector, a working musician, or someone looking for a no-nonsense vintage instrument with massive tone, this 1981 Peavey T-60 (Serial #00900533) delivers American-made quality and character that only comes with age.
