The "Norlin" Era of Gibson is quite an interesting one due to all the spec changes that occurred. Some guys like them, some guys hate 'em, but there truly is something for everyone, but it can be kind of hard to pinpoint which one might be best for you! I hope this guide helps you. I personally really like the 1976-1982 era.

The Norlin Era can be a lot of fun if you're open to new ideas on what a Les Paul "Should Be." They certainly weren't traditional, but they're fun! This is by no means a complete guide, but should be good enough to help you ID which one you might like to try! ❓Private Help Sessions: troglysguitarshow.com/help-appraisals/ 🟢My Website: www.troglysguitarshow.com 🔴Reverb: reverb.com/shop/troglys?_aid=growsumo&gs_partner=Trogly

Thanks Trogs!! My 00 76’ Les Paul Deluxe is a Tobacco Burst with the factory installed normal humbuckers that guitar took a ton of ribbing on the forums(pancake body, larger headstock, wide binding) you know.. but when it’s being played it flat puts a lot of the other Lester’s to shame..it is very special “to me”!! Thanks for this very schooling video!!

@clarkbabin9799 Год назад

I love to see a finish like this in a natural or stained not painted. It's just a shame to cover that wood grain. I like a thick neck on a guitar. Thin necks are okay but a thick you feel like you have all kinds of real estate to play on. I like to call thick neck guitars Gunter. I don't know why. My Studio has very Similar wiring to the one your reviewing including the shielding and ashtray cover. I know I don't always say it directly. But everyday you do a review is a great one. When I see you do a run down of a guitar especially as nice as the one you have here I really enjoy the information. Besides I'm not saying I've become an expert watching but I've gained knowledge I didn't have before and sometimes do a little investigating myself on different models and brands.

@cataclysmicconverter Год назад

@@clarkbabin9799 I'm a fan of baseball bat necks, myself. I have big hands, but a lot of little shrimps like Paul Kossoff and Slash like(d) them, too. The PRS wide fat is divine for my tastes. When I first tried one, it was heavenly. As for stained colors/finishes on the flamed Customs, they're on the Mod Collection site usually, if you wanna take out a loan to snag one! 😃

@clarkbabin9799 Год назад

@@cataclysmicconverter I try and play on different guitars with different types of necks as often as possible. Being that I have more than a dozen or so guitars of different styles and types I think I've got that covered. Some guitars just sound better with certain music. But when I get a new guitar I play the hell out of it for the first couple or so months then I pick up one at random just for the fun of the difference.

Just chanced on this overview - cool info! I still have (and play) my 1968 'pre-velute' black Custom - managed to date S. No with the help of a Les Paul forum. Pretty much all stock apart from a new jack-plug. No plans to sell - no idea what it might be worth. I have been checking out a handful of more recent Customs at the stockist here for fun - normal and custom shop - and they seem nice enough and altho quite dear I think when you adjust from 1968 to 2023 the dollar value compares ok.

My favorite Year of Les Paul is 1976. even though they are pancake bodies. and my favorite model can range from a classic to a custom. and my favorite finish is natural finish. there's just something about those guitars. if a person finds a good one they are fantastic. they vary quite a bit. but every so often you can find really good one.

In 77 I was 18 years old saw 2 of these maple topped customs. Feel In Love and bought one. Played my whole live with it in all kinds of situations and it continues to be my main guitar. Still have original paper work and pink registration card from Gibson. At the time I bought it took all my saving to buy I kept it in good condition but it has normal west after playing all those years Only difference in my 77 are the knobs are not what you put on it they were slimmer knobs I replaced the bridge as it was worn with Gibson gold plated and the nut. I was glad you reviewed it and mine is heavy.

@NinerFourWhiskey Год назад

Pot code 71-079 = 100K tone pot, which would have paired with a 300K volume pot. That's when these got darker and muddier sounding, due to the switch from 500k/500k tone/volume pots. The originals were much brighter and clearer sounding, as are today's re-issues and historics.

@RideAcrossTheRiver 10 месяцев назад

It would be a treat if someone could look at John Fogerty's Creedence-era Gibsons. The ES-175 that did "Proud Mary" was stolen in early 1969, but there was a Les Paul Custom with Bigsby that was damaged and restored with a sunburst finish and short-scale neck. It might be in the Hall of Fame.

@keithneal4410 Год назад

Great video. I got my first stock Gibson Les Paul Std. in 1981. It was a 1976 although I never saw a serial number on the back of the headstock. Wish I still had it. In 2017 I started buying Norlin eara Les Pauls, 75 Goldtop, a 72 Recording and a 78 Std. to go along with some newer Les Pauls I won. I noticed you never mention the body carve on the top is more flat and not as scooped as a pre or post Norlin. Please enlighten us if you have anything to add.

@alpavlik8799 Год назад

In viewing this episode on Norlin LPCs, I’m a little surprised you did not mention the carve on the top changing pretty dramatically between ‘81 and ‘82.

@alpavlik8799 Год назад

All due respect, and with the disclaimer that I have not academically “studied” this. My thoughts come from anecdotal experience. I own, or have owned, LPs ranging from’74-‘82. The ones I know, through the’81s have the same, general gradual slope, up from rim to center and back down. The ‘82s (Nashville Std SB and Kalamazoo 30th Anniversary) have a flat area around the rim, then rise and fall with a definite “belly” in the middle. I’m open and interested to hear others’ observations and experiences.

@Eliminator-rl9sn Год назад

I got exactly this model from 1980. It was built in Nashville. Bought it used in 1990 for around 800 USD....It just plays wonderful and the neck is straight and extremely stable. The only thing that annoyed me over time were the linear volume pots. Swapped them out for logarithmic ones and now it is a perfect live animal. I still play it live in any climate condition because it does almost not react to temperature changes or humidity. Got another Custom in Cherry red from 1979 which has the same excellent quality. These two guitars are the foundation of my absolute preference for Customs. If you play in a rock band with two guitarists, a custom is always well heard. These both are the best Gibson guitars I ever played. From time to time I try some of the new ones in guitar shops and none, really not a single one could match their quality in terms of feel, playability and sound. Thanks for your video, it does reflect exactly my experience with these guitars.

@scottkuster5552 Год назад

I have a 1977 Gibson Les Paul Custom with a Maple neck & fretboard that I have owned as new since I was 11. It still has the original case in decent shape and the serial # starts with 06.

@lightonthelandscape Год назад

Thanks for the info. I've started watching more and more of the Norlin era LPC vids as I've owned one for years without knowing much about them. I bought it for its playability and weight (only about 8lbs, 11oz - which is quite something for a Les Paul). Thanks to you I now know it's an early 1979 LPC make in the KM factory, no pancake, cherry burst with original everything apart from these lovely metal numberless gold knobs that I'm not sure were original or added later (haven't come across these before). It also has a TP-6 which I have grown to like. An outstanding guitar for sound and playability. Your vids have made me fall in love with it all the more. Thanks again.

Trogley, those dings on the top are from Mark Agnezzi's leather jacket sleeve zippers, definitely worth big bucks,,,
