Wow lots of nice guitars in here, makes mine look very ordinary!

'76 Les Paul Custom. It was originally wine red it's been sanded down at some point. Typical Norlin era pancake body, 3 piece top, maple neck and ebony fretboard. Has a Faber tone lock bridge as the original was a bit worn out.

Wow, that is packin' some serious vintage mojo! With volute?

Did the Norlins come with slim taper necks? I always thought Customs have the fast necks of all the models.

Got this in 87 new, has been supplanted by the tele in my life. Still love it though and would never part with it.

too many solid bodies, I think you need something hollow :winky:
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Wow!
And I'm very happy with it. It's been put to work already and has a good number of gigs under its belt already. :)

Here's my other LP, been through a few forum members, but it's staying with me.

'83 LP Custom with its other pal, an '87 335.
