Yes but Peaveys were made in the U - S - A, do you see?

Peavy T-60 was USA made https://www.samash.com/spotlight/sam-as ... -60-guitar as was the T-15
Yes, I know. Why do you keep telling me something I know, particularly when it has no relevance to the OP's question? The OP's guitar is not a T-60, T-15, or ANY Peavey, USA made or import.
Pretty sure those old Peaveys were made in the US mate.

Taking the piss, as is MatthewK. ;)

I have no idea why cincinnatiharry carried on about the made in USA stuff, when the original guitar was obviously a cheap POS with a grossly oversized badge glued on.

Peavey guitars are not cheap POS. They are made in the US
I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?

Whew. I was getting ready to post pics of the two USA Peaveys I currently own, a Reactor and a Predator. The world doesn't need any more photos of those.

Was out in town a few weeks ago and noticed this guitar with the peavey name on the headstock in a display window. I'd passed this building years previously and always noticed the various cheap guitars (they have a broken Teisco Top 20 as well) but i've become really interested with old Peavey gear since getting my Heritage amp a while back.
Wondering if anyone can identify it. Seems to be 60s/70s Teisco/Kay style design. Did a bit of googling and couldn't find any example of a similar peavey. Assuming it could be made by another name?
Any help appreciated, i'd love to hunt one of these down to twin with my amp/just as a general guitar curio.

So you know by now that it isn’t a Peavey. The other posters (and you!) were right in calling it a Teisco. It’s an early 60’s Teisco Top 20.

But seriously, Robert Smith's first guitar, right?

Ah, close - presumably also Teisco made but a different model from the range.

Oh sorry, didn’t know we were still talking about the weirdo in the window. I was talking about the real Peavey’s obviously

Interestingly on the left side of the window they had the exact top 20 model that smith used with its pickups gutted. Also a large frankenstein statue. The place is apparently a disused nightclub.
