Chris Squire's Electra Outlaw. . . .

For the time being, I am done with the Peavey "T" feature and will
come back to it, with shots of my "T"'s that haven't been seen yet.

So, having come across this shot, I thought it would be nice to show it.



This one is the same as mine and although I know he had a much modded one,
I didn't realise he had and gigged an original Electra Outlaw.

Many thanks to Allen, who kindly gave me permission to use his shot.
To visit his very interesting site, go here:

This is my feature on the one I have. 
Electra Outlaw 1
Electra Outlaw 2

Back next time with something that I have not shown before.

Cheers. :)

Peavey T-40 and T-60 users and literature. .

Peavey were keen to let it be known that their guitars were being used by 
major artists, at the time - perhaps the most famous, was Ross Valory of
the band, Journey.
























There was also Leon Medica of Le Roux and Banner Thomas from
Molly Hatchet.
Leon has been a long time Peavey user - through T-20, T-40 and later using
a Peavey Zodiac.     

                                                                                                        









































Johnnie Copeland was a T-60 user, as were many studio players - one guitar,
for various tones.
One of the pics below, show Carl Perkins, with George Harrison and Eric Clapton,
wielding a T-60.      

















 
          

















     
Some of the earlier literature that Peavey produced.


























I asked Chip about the other T series guitars and basses but I think it is
perhaps best left alone and leave this feature as a T-40 and T-60 only.

Chip closed with these words.

I designed the T-15, T-30; hardware that I designed, and neck patents of mine 
were on those instruments.
I haven't been curious enough to really look into the 20,25-27, or the T-45 

for my input.
I'm honoured and surprised that anyone is interested to that depth.
Warm regards,
Chip


I would like to thank him again, for all of his help.


That about wraps it up on this one - I will be putting up shots of some of my "T"'s,
along with a pic of my unusual early case, with the blue interior.

Cheers. :)
