A-435 Liberator JT-85 EX guitar info ???

Post by Lee60 » Wed Aug 09, 2017 2:11 pm

Hi All,
Just made an odd online impulse buy: a mint condition Peavey Liberator A-435/JT-85 guitar w/OHSC+accessories. I know these were a limited edition (only 100 made???), but can't find any info about where they were made (USA? Korea? China?), or their pickup specs. Does anyone in Peavey-land have any info about these? Thanks!!!

Did a little more homework... The imprinted serial # and "location 2" sticker on the control cover indicates these were built in the USA in Meridian, MS. This one is #81 of 108, and includes a certificate of authenticity hand-signed/numbered by John Taylor of Duran Duran.

I've decided to put this one up for sale on Ebay this weekend, unless I get an offer here first. This guitar plays and sounds awesome, but is better suited for a collector or someone not afraid to play it hard. Has ALL the original accessories, and even case keys!
