Lol well its 37 years old I guess it was made before all them new fangled things where necessary Robert-----Heartly Peavey and his buddy Todd had a groovy way AROUND the PC board but still made a damn versatile weapon----er guitar---
Also --you let someone else wear out the depreciation then you pounce!
Like new car smell.....who needs it.........I want a car that smells like pizza boxes drive in fast food wrappers and Hawaiian tropic air fresheners----cause thats WTF it is GOING to smell like after i own it a month....lol

your a very lucky man.
You'd think that, wouldn't you. I guess I'm just a magnet.
You sir are the one with the skills of acquisition...after watching some of the Scott Grove video on the T-60, I kind of want to find one.:dood:
uhm......I know of several......PM me ---seriously--- I can help----- just a little pin prick, now nod if you can hear me..........
I gotta say that my favorite is the Shredator...

HA--- that thing DOMINATES---- and its as HEAVY as the damn T-60.
I played with some Jacksons and BC Rich and Charvels and other FLOYD loaded thingies at the GC today--- Shredator is on par man--- totally on Par.
and gorgeous....
OH and FYI for those poo poo-ers.......its STILL IN TUNE--- took a day or so to GET it in tune but I whack and dive and shimmy and WHAMMY the poop outta it --- and its been a month now --- still in tune.........

Just like a good Floyd would!
Y'know, all this reminds me...way back when I first joined the T-60 Mafia forum, I posted a question to Chip Todd and asked him if he thought Hartley Peavey would ever reissue the T-60 and T-40.
I mean, how cool would that be!
Anyway, Chip Todd seems like a great guy and he's really helpful, but his answer was a little disappointing. Essentially, he responded that Hartley wasn't that kind of guy. Going back to a previous design wasn't really his style. He liked to keep doing new things.
But, seriously, I'd love to see the T-60 reissued, with all the features of the original, and made in the US, just like the original. Maybe a few tweaks would be cool, like a 22 fret fretboard, rather than the original 21 fret design. But, I'd love to see it.

Well I can tell you waht -- I am happy as a loon ---- this wood by Heaven is giving me wood just looking at it.....---my T-40 was hands down my favorite bass---I play it daily--- even if its just for a moment or two before work---I have to TOUCH that guitar every day--- now--- I have a dilemma as the same is occurring with this lovely honey colored lass.
I mean by THunder just look at it--------I mean LOOK --- this is the feel and finish Gibson and PRS are TRYING to mimic in the newer lines....
I think I described the T-40 to Gasket once as being like the perfect old pair of jeans when you put it on........the T-60 is the perfect old leather jacket that goes with those jeans...............................
friggin STOKED ------

Remember though, Stevie did have really strong hands, plus He did detune if I am not mistaken.
Yep...a 1/2 step down (D#) as I recall....
Besides, you can always get another SG. But, the T-60? Those are getting rarer and rarer, and more expensive when you do find a nice one.
I think you made the right move.
