  • In this episode of The Local Pickup, we're taking a look at a 1979 Peavey T-60. The "T" stands for "Terminator", we think. This heavy-duty guitar is one of the toughest, coolest, and heaviest we've seen. With low action, a unique pickup configuration, and striking good looks, this electric is a standout. Come learn about the Peavey T-60 and hear how great this thing sounds.

    I have two of these, the first one I got one I turned 16 in 1978, the second one I got was because my friend bought the same guitar after he worked for about a year to save up, so that he would have the same guitar as I have and his brother gave it to me after my friends passing ,,, you’ll have to peel it out of my cold, dead hands, lol beautiful guitar would never sell. It only give it to family to carry-on.

    The coil split is in the tone knob and the switch you called the coil split is a phase switch.

      Please update the vid....both tone knobs rolled back to 7 brings the pickup from single coil to humbucker. A LOT of tonal flexibility as a result. Peavey guitars rule❤

      @@weatherburngary I was just about to leave a comment regarding a correction for the split coil. I'm glad someone noticed. the knob he referred to is an in/out of phase switch.

    Good presentation, casual and sincere. A lot of youtubers seem to think they need to do backflips and carry on like morning zoo radio.

    Great video! Old Peavey stuff is awesome! Quirky retro cool! I'm a huge fan of their basses too. Hartley Peavey's story is pretty interesting. He's definitely an icon.

    I have two of these guitars. One is a 1980 model. The other one is a 77 preproduction pre-patent model. Fairly rare. Not in the best shape but it’s still playable. And I love both my guitars.. When I decided I wanted to learn to play guitar these are the ones that I wanted to learn on. But T60 is just awesome.✌🏽
    I’ll plan on keeping these guitars and passing him down once I’m gone.

    Both pick up split but it's in the tone knobs the second toggle switches for in and out of FaZe

    The bass was called the T-40. Man that thing was heavy!!! Peavey in my opinion has 2 very underrated amps. The delta blues and the classic 50. Great sounding tube amps!

    I thought that second switch is an out of phase switch for the pickups? the tone knobs rolled past 6 or 7 turns each humbucker into single coil, that's how mine worked.

  • @brentscott6326

    The logo was designed in the 60s and the switch is a phase switch not coil tap. The coil tap feature is unique in that if you put the volume knob up to 8 it stays a humbucker but over 8 I believe kicks it into single coil mode. I regret selling mine, gonna buy another soon.

    T Series guitars are some of the best solid body guitars made. Everything heavy duty and high quality.

    I played a T60 in the 90's through the early 2000's.......weighed a freaking ton and had a fat neck. Sounded great though. Mine was black on black.

  • @randylandry5

    That's an out of phase switch not a split coil switch. The out of phase switch only works when both pickups are active. The split coil is done through the tone knob and only on the bridge. With bridge tone on 10 its a single coil. 7 to 0 on the tone is humbucker.

    If you want something lighter get a Horizon 1 it has the same wiring with a strat shaped body I love mine.

      Peavey went to Korean manufacturing sometime in the 90s and lost a lot of fans.
