Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted September 5, 2008 Moderators Share Posted September 5, 2008 What's the pick of the bunch of this lot, and what price to pay. I see a few T26s, but from memory the T60 is the one that draws all the plaudits...any advice appreciated:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted September 5, 2008 Author Moderators Share Posted September 5, 2008 Sorry, it's between a T26 and T30, as I'd prefer single coils, forgot the 60 was a bucker setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frets99 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I've never owned the single rail versions but I had a Peavey Reactor Ax with the dbl rail humbuckers and that guitar had great tone. Great build as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The T-60 is definitely considered the top of the T-series line. The tone circuit is fairly unique. From 0 to about 7 each tone pot acts as a regular tone control, from 7 to 10 it begins splitting the pickups. I think the T-60's are probably running in the $300-$400 range in the States currently, but haven't priced anytime recently (I got my T-60 w/ohsc for $200 3 or 4 years ago, but the market has gone up), non-T-60's typically go for less than T-60's. A lot of times due to the expense of US stuff in the UK, a dollar=pound ratio is a good rough guestimate. According to at least one listing/review I've seen the T-30 is short scale. Sean, register here and ask: http://www.peaveyT-60.com The inventor of the T-60, Chip Todd, posts there regularly. Really nice guy. Steve Fanuvbrak had a non-T-60, a T-15 I think though. He probably knows more about the other models than I do, maybe he'll pop in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Will Chen Posted September 5, 2008 Members Share Posted September 5, 2008 The T-30 is short scale and thin bodied, I had one. really more of a beginner guitar. The single coil blade pickups are the highlight of the guitar. The T-60 on the other hand is a really cool concept. I had a chance to play a freind's on a regular basis and am quite surprised no one has lifted the innovative coil splitting system. Washburn has a similiar concept offered on some of their guitars, but it doesn't sound as good as the Peavey system. Perhaps it's the pickups...

I had a chance to buy a T-60 locally, but passed because it was overpriced at $350. I wish I would have at least gone and tried it out. I do own a T-40 bass.......it is truly a staple when it comes to build quality, ingenuity, and bass tone. It is super heavy, but I think that's what I like best about it. The tone circuit scheme is interesting, and sounds really good......the only problem with it is "what if I want to lower the treble via tone control?"....you can't. Plus when going from single coil operation to HB....the volume jump is substancial. So while it's neat, and interesting......it presents a few logistic issues. Granted, when you think about it.....it would would GREAT for going from Humbucking lead to single coil rhythm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
