Guitar Collector Forum

It's strange, isn't it, that Les Paul & Strat styles are so ubiquitous sixty years after they were first designed. Sure, they're great designs, but where are the innovators in the 21st century? The sixties and seventies had so many weird and wonderful designs - some worked and some didn't - but I guess mass production and comercial pressures mean that guitar design is just more conservative now... with just a few exceptions, mostly very expensive. I wonder whether the vintage/roadworn fashion will one day be lead to a rebellion (backlash?), with some more unusual, innovative and wacky guitars?

Love the Peavey T-60 and T-40. The T-60 was really an underrated guitar, considering its quality. I finally acquired one myself, 30 years after selling my first T-60.

Actually the old Peavey bass pictured is not a T-40. It's a Fury I (c. '84-'86), which was basically a rebadged T-20. It had a single angled Super-Ferrite pickup:



Funny you should mention a T-40, though, because after posting this thread I finally acquired one! Great bass but heavy as feck.

Sounds like a Peavey to me. lol I use my T-60 for weightlifting and playing. It's a great multipurpose instrument.

Great for clearing the stage of unwanted trespassing audience members, too!
