NBD 1982 Peavey T-45

I like the T 20 and T 45. Just never find really great deals on them though. There were a pair of T 45's for sale in the UK recently. Over $1K each and shipping. I'll just keep watching out.

Wow. I actually had the thought to flip this one for some profit... because I have (G) mental (A) problem(S)
 
Got one myself a year or two ago. The sunburst finish is killer!



Mine weighs 10 lbs, heavier than I'd like but not as heavy as my 12-pound Gibson RD Artist!

@kodiakblair sees them for cheap over your way all the time. He’s in Scotland IIRC.

It’s set up pretty well currently, but needs new strings. Excited to add it to the arsenal.
Check this out sometime
T-40 infosheet
This does include a section on the T-45. Just scroll down until you get to it. @Eilif did an amazing job on this.

Not sure if this link was already posted for you?

That's really interesting!
Folks (myself included) have been wowing about the ways that T-40's and 45's are increasing in value. It's true that for many of us the actual value of our T Series instruments far exceeds what we paid for them in the years in which they were very cheaply priced. However, $425 in 1982 is about $1260 today, so even the most expensive T-40's are essentially holding their value rather than truly appreciating.
