Jeez. Just goes to show how much having an original finish (despite being trashed) is valued over a refin regardless of many other things being messed with (and severely).caples wrote: ↑Wed Aug 10, 2022 4:32 amIt was on reverb for 3250 a few months ago and sold in under an hour. idk about 5k I feel like someone will snatch it.GreenKnee wrote: ↑Wed Aug 10, 2022 4:03 amThat thing looks incredible.

Re: "Why did you do it? Why did you do this thing to me?"
Inspired by johnnysomersett's bass dilemma, I googled "lightweight Peavey T-40", and found these:
The guy on the last pic is Chip Todd, the Peavey engineer who designed the T-60 and T-40... So apparently even he found them too heavy

Lol, yeah Chip started chambering them and putting caps on. I can only imagine it changes the sound drastically as I think the sheer dying-star-level mass of the things is what makes them sound how they do.
Fun fact: each saddle of the bridge on the T-40 weighs exactly an ounce...each individual saddle

Re: "Why did you do it? Why did you do this thing to me?"
so one joke my cousin has about me and my dad is "no wonder you both have back issues. you *pointing at my dad* you spent 20 years playing a peavey t-40 and you *pointing at me* plays jaguars and jazzmasters around the 6+kg mark. doesn't help that you both play massive 70's amps"johnnysomersett wrote: ↑Tue Aug 16, 2022 12:34 pmLol, yeah Chip started chambering them and putting caps on.

Re: "Why did you do it? Why did you do this thing to me?"
This is just paint, but that alone should shave something off of the $8,750 they are asking for. It's an "unusual refin" all right. Once you see the back you begin to understand.

...what?!
Btw it's a 1971
Yes even though it's heavy, somehow, it doesn't feel all that heavy. Maybe because it's smaller?
Oh and I got lots of extras and extra pickups with it. And paid much less than the reverb bastard!

very cool. Maybe the bridge is significantly lighter than the lucite that it replaced!

Wait, does that headstock have a silver overlay too? If so that might be the coolest fucking guitar I've ever seen. I'd play the shit out of that.Pacafeliz wrote: ↑Tue Aug 23, 2022 9:26 am

It's actually top mounted, a SHIFT 2001 aka. "Wonderbar"cestlamort wrote: ↑Tue Aug 23, 2022 10:16 amvery cool. Maybe the bridge is significantly lighter than the lucite that it replaced!
About 2mm of lucite were taken out of it for that. Oh and if you take good look, it was modded for a Bigsby at the very beginning. The owner told me so much about it.
There's YouTube videos of the band on Rockpalast in the late 70s, and his heavy days in the mid 80s, too!
That is correct, a chrome'd headstock overlay it is!

woow, that modified Dan Armstrong is my dream guitar right there <3 I used to have a reissue that sounded absolutely phenomenal and I'm still kicking myself for letting it go.

Re: "Why did you do it? Why did you do this thing to me?"
Yeah at rehearsal I've been using one of the wooden reissues for quite a while now, so when this popped up (with the sought after pickup etc.) I just had to!
