Members rll Posted August 6, 2008 Members Share Posted August 6, 2008 1984 Peavey Patriot sn/01881080 Let me say first I have only been playing six months, this is my second guitar and I only have the first, a agile al-2000, to compare to. What amazing condition for a 24 year old entry level guitar, no scratches or anything(except where the fretboard has been rubbed through), not even buckle rash. Basic piece of wood, No bindings or frills. Looks to be all original. Overall length is about 2 inches shorter than my agile and it's a heck of a lot lighter. I am only 5'7" and have short stubby fingers and it seems easier to get around the fretboard than my agile. Not sure what the finish is but it is fairly thin and not glossy, looks cool. Sounds amazing. Haven't been playing too long so I can't compare it to other guitars, but I like the tone. Dual single coil "super ferrite" pickups. Volume knob actually works unlike my agile which is either all or none , nice slope on both volume and tone. What can I say, 24 year old quality American made guitar for under $200. I couldn't be happier. I don't think the price of these old peaveys are going anywhere but up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PaulSter Posted August 6, 2008 Members Share Posted August 6, 2008 Looks great. It's got character. I'd love to hear one. Congrats. Nothing like a new axe to pump-up your playing. PaulS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JoeBoy Posted August 6, 2008 Members Share Posted August 6, 2008 I have one just like it. Needs tuners. Mine just sits and waits for the tuners. Kinda sad. The new tuners are sitting right here. Bought it off ebay a couple years ago. Arrived with part if a tuner missing. Here is is sitting in the corner.

Members rll Posted August 6, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 6, 2008 Joeboy, it looks like yours is the hardtail model. This one did not come with the trem arm so I am going to have to be on the lookout. Anyone know if one off other peavey models will work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roy Brooks Posted August 6, 2008 Members Share Posted August 6, 2008 Not quite "vintage" but still a very cool guitar. You could actually score with ladies that you don't have to blow up playing that guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rll Posted August 6, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 6, 2008 I thought anything over 20 years was vintage. Sorry.

Members GibsonQC Posted August 7, 2008 Members Share Posted August 7, 2008 Happy New Guitar Day! Ah, the memories...that was my first guitar, purchased with money from my paper-route in the early 80's. Another guitar I probably should have kept.
