I went over to the T-60 site and copied the serial number dating list that they have to hopefully help everyone here with their T-40 dates. Since the T-60 guitars were manufactured at the same time as the basses, the serial numbers are similar and were not separated between guitar and bass, just as they were produced.

Here is some serial number related info that Chip had posted on the original T-60 forum quite some time ago. I don't believe that I've posted it here yet. During the last few years, I have received more than a few T-60s that were the very first ones made on the gunstock carving machine and the Ekstrom-Carlson router, before production was even in sight. The sequence of markings on the first ones was; CT-1, CT-2, CT-B, the first three built in my carport for the 1976 NAMM show.
The following is from our Gearwiki. Please contribute your own knowledge. Warwick has had a consistent serial number scheme since its foundation in 1982.

They were in order, 6 keys per side, 3 keys per side, and the bass. These were hand-stamped.

Note that the decimal points progressed through the eight numerals and the last of the ten had two decimals. These would let us know and identify if any of the sales reps 'lost' their sample. (late 1976 or early 1977) There were some undisciplined zero-numbered ones with various single digit numbers included in the zeros, which went to artists like, Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, Neal Diamond, Billy Gibbons, etc.( 1977) I remember the '8Mxxxxxx's, but am not sure where they were in the order, only that they weren't before the above and the #00245XXX which was the true first production guitar and was presented to Mississippi Music in Meridian, MS, (the store that Hartley's dad owned before retiring).
The Schmidt Serial Numbering head didn't have the capability of letters, only numbers, so there would have been only a very few with the 8Mxxxxxx.

That was probably his 000000XX. 'That's all I know about that'.F. Gump Chip It's humorous to read the word,'Vintage' after almost any guitar that's a decade or more old. The word has no meaning anymore. There are two T-60s on ebay now that have an 8Mxxxxxx E serial number.
What's funny to me as they don't know that the 'E' was stamped on guitars with blemishes and small mistakes and were only sold to employees at a good discount. Those are seconds or blems, not 'Vintage' and special units. I do like the part about 'rare', meaning we must have not made too many mistakes or they wouldn't be 'rare' Chip.
