Peavey put guitars and amps in the hands of the common man. Great quality for the price
I love when you examine these older guitars.
I've had a T-15 and a Decade amp since the early 80s. Never letting them go.
The Peavey Amp ...... was simply perfect on this little demo.
"Got my 1st real 6-string at the 5 and dime...." The vintage sound of that Peavey warms my heart! Puppies and Kittens! I'm in love with that 'little guitar' and amp!
Threw a lotta newspapers to get mineðŸ¤
Peavey is probably the most slept-on gear out there. They’ve made some killer stuff over the years.
Hartley Peavey was definitely a genius. Highly underrated engineer and desiigner.
My first guitar was a Peavey Predator circa 1985-1st generation. Sadly it was stolen in college. Picked same one up on Reverb for $250 5 years ago. Modded the pickups and now one of my best playing guitars. Love Peavey!
My favorite Peavey headstock design
I have a T-15 with a natural finish and a maple fretboard. I also have the original case with the built-in amp. It's a fun little guitar. Those super ferrite pickups sound great. I also have a Peavey Patriot with a natural finish mahogany body, maple fretboard, same pickup and control layout. The Patriot has a Gibson scale. Fun fact about the wiring - the middle switch position turns the single pickups into a wide field humbucker. Peavey did a lot of interesting wiring configurations, especially in the T-series instruments.
I got that for Christmas in 1983. Awesome player
Just worked on a T-60 for a customer (needed a new switch for the phase switching). Man, that was a heavy beast. It was over 10 pounds...just a solid multipiece slab of ash. The pickups sound really good and the phase switching and the way you go between split coils and full humbuckers with the tone knobs is unique. They probably could drop the weight by a couple of pounds by using plastic knobs, a thinner neck plate, and a lighter bridge. If you have a good strap, these are fun guitars to play.
Please do more of the used older but affordable gear. More Peavey guitars, I personal think they are the biggest underrated guitar manufacture. Great video. My best to you and your family Phil.
That thing sounds incredible. I'll be looking for one. It's got it's own unique "quack" thing going on ...great tone.
Almost cried when I saw this. My first electric guitar was a new T-15 from Clawson's Music in Corpus Christi, TX. I got for my 14th birthday and I can't begin to describe the joy I felt.
NOTHING feels like a T-15. Saw one with my friend in our hometown Guitar Center. He was in the market for a short-scale electric at the time. I put my hands on it, gave it a strum, and said "DUDE... You HAVE to buy this thing." His is the dark sparkle brown model, I think he paid around $370-400 about two or three years ago. One of the coolest guitars I've ever played, great feel and sound. It's always what I pick up when I go to his place.
Peavey played a big role in most of our lives as young musicians. I came to own the 1985 Peavey Heritage VTX that my guitar teacher gave lessons on for years. I love that amp!
I had the big heavy ash bass (T40 I think) the first year (70’s) it came out. Played it on the road for a couple of years. 2 humbuckers with a massive bridge. With flat wounds. That bass was a beast! Quality USA made. Never went out of tune and THUMPED! The problem with it was weight. 4 sets a night, 5 nights a week. Traded it for a P-bass when I had enough. I played a lot of basses during my time and nothing thumped like that Peavey.
