That should be a 1978.

Hi, I'm new to the forum, and I'm impressed by all the information given here. So with that in mind, I have recently received a Peavey T-60 with a hand stamped serial number 154100 on the back of the headstock and nothing else. On the front, the outline does go around the truss rod cover. So what year am I looking at here. By the way I found that I'm the 4th owner of this guitar. The original owner passed it down to his son, who sold it to my friend, who traded it to me. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks

I'm a bit jealous. You've got yourself an early T-60. 1978 for sure. The six-digit serial numbers are very early in the production run, but the striping around the truss rod cover is really early. Chip stated that this was to be on all T-60s but the folks putting the transfer on the headstock had a difficult time lining everything up. So the transfers were modified to what we all see as "normal" for the rest of the production run.

Hi! I was hoping you were going to reply. Thanks for the info, yeah I did my homework with you guys and other websites and had to join this forum. The only thing with this guitar is, I think the bridge pickup was changed to an '80 or '81 because it has blades in it and the neck doesn't. It also doesn't have the original Peavey case(it came in a Coffin Case in camouflage???lol) Ron

That does sound like a pickup swap to me. I've been thinking of doing a similar swap on one of my T-60s but have the toaster in the bridge and a blade at the neck.

You should drop by the T-60 Mafia and sign up.

The T-60 Mafia is a name that was applied to members of the original, yet unofficial, T-60 forum by a couple of mega sellers on the big auction site. We liked the name and have since applied it to the URL and the forum name.

Six-digit serial numbered T's are 1978's. Congrats, I'd like to get a six-digit for my herd.

Hi Guys..New to this forum. Just offered my soon to be nephew-in-law my unused T60 to gain a little closet space, then looked them up on ebay. $300-$1500 is a big ballpark and I'm not sure I want to give away a $1500 guitar. I haven't played any electrics in yrs.What is it that's driving the upper end here? I bought the guitar in the late 70's or early 80's. The serial number is 01274030, all black and barely played. Any help is appreciated. thanks

I'm guessing the original T-60 Forum had a lot to do with the price increase. Before we got the forum up and running you could find T-60s really cheap. My first one was $100 and I got a pair for $97 shortly after. Once the forum got known we started seeing an increase in asking prices.

I have a T-60 (actually my Dad does but I'm the one burning holes through the fretboard of this AWESOME unit) serial # 00655611.....is that a 78 as well? Oh and he has a matching bass as well.....does that shoot the value to the moon or anything?
