They do run on to each other, the 50's.

Try the boxwood pins. I replaced tusq pins on my J-45 with boxwood pins hoping for a more mellow sound and I've been pleased. As said, boxwood pins aren't white though; think maple color. I got several sets at Sweetwater .

Wait...
My SG is a 79...
Yes, I mean that one. But, WAIT! My The Paul is 79 also.

Original Poster: Good conditions going for about $1400. Maybe make that a starting point.
No, you folks cannot have my 74 Southern Jumbo DEEEluxe, my 78 The Paul or return man Murphy's 78 SG.

Appreciated that one!

Nuisance to me.

Still play my McDonald and Giles album to this day. Sad news.

Just let me drop the saddle in please!

Henry1: My 200s have pins with smaller size tops than most pins seen on the market for sale by themselves. Is that what you are talking about here? If so, as everyone has said, Colosi can do a set for you.

I think it's called capitalisim.

Hey Jay, welcome here. Try some John Pearse 80/20 lights (.012 - .054). Maybe give yourself and the J-45 a chance to get to know each other. Good luck!

Well done.

Tim - If this is of any help. I have a J-45 Vintage. It is the guitar I play the most. The top is torrefied red spruce. The neck joint and top braces are hide glue. The finish is the thin VOS. The neck is Vintage round. Board radius 12. It has 20 frets. Nut width 1.725". Tuners are Gotoh Relics. Not the guitar you are asking about, but a member of the family. I thought maybe a positive word on the tone, playability and build of this model might be of some assistance to you. Good hunting.

Thanks all three. Enjoyed each one! Quite a voice on Sal's.

That is sad news to me. I saw them every time they were near back then and until in later years. He was the "White Eagle" as is said.

I dug the Norlin SJ out this morning and played it next to my Crowe Country AND Western ( 1st edition, not Supreme ). No way would I purchase the 74 SJ again even at the 74 price of $400! edit: include price

Welcome! I have a 74 SJ I still maintain . The double X bracing is one concern, but the huge bridge plate is probably the real item of sound concern on Gibsons from the Norlin era. I don't know for a fact, but I guess the Bird of that year has such a bridge plate. Like any guitar, but particularly a Gibson from that time, I would have to play it no matter how good the price! The resale value for these Gibsons, though improving of late, has always been low. My SJ does not have socks inside, but it requires the right strings to keep them away and to give it good projection for sure. That Bird in the video sounds good, probably due to the fingers and the recording quality, don't you think? * edit: notice the pins are not factory on the Bird. I bought my SJ new (I'll admit it) and it came with rosewood pins. I went to bone for looks and sound, and have always stayed with such on it.

This Bird Has Flown, it's a BD

Please pardon the usurp of your question to Dave I have the rosewood SJ myself and it's fast becoming one of my favorite Gibsons. The sound was there at the outset and once I adjusted to the neck, which didn't take long, it's been all smiles.
