Help ID-ing this weird Peavey guitar
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.

Re: Help ID-ing this weird Peavey guitar
I've never seen a Peavey guitar similar to this one.
All I can say with any degree of certainty is the hardware is distinctly late '60s - early '70s Japanese (specifically the bridge base — bridge is missing — and the vibrato, can't quite make out the tuners). Some of the early Korean guitars from the same era (Samick) also used the exact same hardware.
I'm not aware of Peavey making guitars prior to the late '70s, or outsourcing production to Asia before 2000 (but I could be wrong).
If I had to hazard a guess I'd say the guitar has nothing to do with Peavey, and the logo on the headstock is likely a sticker or a stencil applied by a previous owner.

Re: Help ID-ing this weird Peavey guitar
It almost looks like someone put the logo from an amp on there. Kind of like there's a tiny bit of dimension sticking out, i.e., not a sticker.

Re: Help ID-ing this weird Peavey guitar
That is 100% not a Peavey… sticking with the logo, the scale of it in relation to the headstock is way off (it’s too big) and it runs into the space occupied by the D tuner.

Re: Help ID-ing this weird Peavey guitar
Yeah i was wondering if the logo was just applied by someone else. Seems strangely specific to use a peavey one.
I still think it looks really cool.

I used to be cool, now I just complain about prices.

I also went down the peavey rabbit hole and found this:
I kinda want one now.

I have a Powerslide, it sounds great! Too bad I don’t know how to play lap steel, so I just make freaky slides with tons of reverb haha! Maybe some day.

I've been looking at Peavey T-15 shortscale guitars lately. I've never heard or played one, but I'm intrigued.

Re: Help ID-ing this weird Peavey guitar
Get one quick. The metal dudes are buying these guitars up and putting bolt-on aluminium necks on them. This is causing the price to rise. I used to see them on Craigslist for $200 all the time. Now they are $600 minimum. There’s a bass version of that guitar too. The cases they came with are similar to the Gibson “chainsaw” cases, only more reliable (the latches don’t come off as easily).

That’s the t60. I made the mistake of buying a t15 and was stuck with it until pretty much forcing a passive friend to trade me something for it haha
