  1. Hard to believe Gibson ever did that, but they did! Like the others said if you like it then keep on going it might last for years. In addition to all the other suggestions a good luthier will make you a perfect replacement rosewood bridge.
  2. Sorry . . . still getting a message saying the member Gilliangirl cannot recieve new messages.

  3. Hi . . . same problem today. My inbox is not full as I emptied it out last night. So I don't know what the problem is either. I'll keep trying.

  4. Still can't send a PM, so will try again tomorrow!

  5. 1. Norlin took over Gibson in December 1969, although there seems to be some disagreement over exactly when the Norlin era began. 2. During the Norlin era various changes were made in the construction of most Gibson models. The Norlin era acoustic instruments are generally regarded as inferior. Many would say the same about Norlin era electrics, but they did actually make some good electric guitars during the Norlin era. They also introduced a lot of new instruments most of which did not do well. Examples include the L6-S, Marauder, Sonex etc 3. I'm not sure that too many people would have a preference for a Norlin era Gibson over another. He probably didn't go out to specifically get a Norlin era SG. I have a Norlin era Les Paul Deluxe and it's a great guitar, but I didn't go out looking specifically for a Norlin era guitar. I just bought it because I liked it. 4. No. I think maybe you are trying to read too much into his choice of guitar. It probably has more to do with his age. He probably bought it in the 70's or 80's new when all the new Gibsons in guitar stores in both the USA and UK etc were Norlin Gibsons.
  6. 50% of the retail cost of a Les Paul is down to the workmanship that goes into finishing the guitar. I can't think of a worse idea than trying to artificially relicing your guitar. It won't SOUND any better. But it's your guitar so you can do what you want with it. You could always consider selling it and then buy a beat up old Les Paul that has been aged by honest playing.
  7. A lot of musicians like the natural reverb of bathrooms and other rooms with hard surfaces. On our last album I recorded some mandolin in a long thin corridor at the studio with a stone floor and hard reflective walls. We also have recorded drums in a stone room with great effect. Here's a picture from recording an Appalachian dulcimer! http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=266581199&albumID=189593&imageID=5544699
