Members Weiner_Bomb Posted January 3, 2013 Members Share Posted January 3, 2013 Pulled this off Craigslist for $100. with molded case. The background story, this guy inherited property from a uncle who passed away. This was part of his possessions. I did not take any before pix when I cleaned it up a bit. It basically looks the same as I started only I added two control knobs. It had rusted out dimarzio 500k pots and some of the leads were missing from the wiring. The pots got changed out. Cleaned all the gunk off the fretboard, used my fret-file with 800-grit sandpaper to clean the frets. The two-piece neck has a split on the end of the neck caused by the micro-tilt feature which has been completely backed off with the neck fastened flush inside the neck pocket.. Which makes everything level, but with very high action. What I did about it was install two washers below the two bottom neck bolts. Fixes the action, doesn't tweak the neck in two.. I have no idea what the pickups are, they are sealed in epoxy.. Did my best to rebuild the tuners, but there is still too much gear lash to my liking. i'll look for replacements (of the same mount pattern hopefully)Serial dating tells me it's a 1981. It's been repainted at one point (It doesn't look like the t-15 ever came in a black finish. much of the clear coat is chipped away).. original skater stickers..

Members reverberlayed Posted January 3, 2013 Members Share Posted January 3, 2013 Awesome, I had a T-25 that was pretty cool especially at the absurd prices they can be found at. HNGD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Weiner_Bomb Posted January 3, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 3, 2013 the 23 1/2" scale is a little awkward to get used to.. looks like the peg-head is a 15/16" post spacing for the tuners. So finding some replacements not aught to be difficult.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Malcolm Ramone Posted January 3, 2013 Members Share Posted January 3, 2013 That's sweet! Too bad the super ferrite pups are gone, but the overall look is totally 80s, I approve. -Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fretmonster Posted January 3, 2013 Members Share Posted January 3, 2013 The stickers are actually rather well-done for an 80's time capsule piece. I used mine for slide but the super-ferrites didn't really take gain all that well, sounded fantastic for cleaner material though. Nice find, big congrats.

Members Woody_in_MN Posted January 4, 2013 Members Share Posted January 4, 2013 I had a T15. PUP's are great. Pretty small neck - but if that is not a problem - great find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
