1984 Peavey T-15 Electric Guitar

I've always got a soft spot for old '80s Peavies. This T-15 is mostly stock but has some sort of humbucker replacing its normal bridge single-rail pickup and a pair of new knobs I put on to replace missing originals. One of the pots appears to be a replacement, too.

This was a quick local repair -- a fret level/dress and setup that was complicated slightly by a number of misaligned frets (bad seating at some point or a neck that got "S-curve" problems as it aged) -- but now that it's through the ringer it plays like a champ and has a nice, bitey, throaty sound to it. The middle position is out of phase but I think that gives it an interesting, useful, "different" sound that works well for strummy, cowboy-chord fun stuff.

Note that these are very short scale and so it's best to use at least 50w-11 on them to get them to play their best if tuning to standard E-to-E. The bridges are neat on this in that you can string them with back-angle like a "through-body" stringing by hooking the ball-ends into the slots in the top or string them like a "top-load" bridge by using mounting holes at the rear of the bridge.

Repairs included: a fret level/dress, restring, setup, and cleaning.
