Abozz Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) Hi to all! Want to share this beauty that I just bought, is a rarity, maple body and neck, p90, made for my beloved infamous Norlin era, early 70’s, nice condition, Diablo color and an AWESOME but AWESOME tone! Is all I know about this model if someone want to share some more info would be nice! Edited January 26, 2022 by Abozz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohatu771 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 The P-90 is not original, but otherwise this guitar looks like it's in great shape - especially with how many of them are very beat up. The SG-100, SG-200, and SG-250 were essentially the next generation of Melody Maker. They are a little more labor-intensive than the Melody Maker, since the pickup and controls are in separate cavities and therefore require that horizontal hole to be drilled, but they were less effort than a standard SG, since the cavities are both on the top.

I’m pretty sure the p90 are original. This model came with that cover (another rarity) maybe the only gibson with p90 cover made. I’m trying to attach the Gibson Brouchure from this guitar but is too heavy. Later I will try again.

kidblast Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) Beloved Norlin Era? is that even a thing? (and yes, I know what it refers too) well anyway, I don't think I've ever seen one of these in captivity.

They only made them for a year. rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what, I'm wrong-ish. The SG-100 had a single coil pickup in the neck. The SG-100 Junior was released at the end of this series, and that is what you have. It's kind of a transitional model between the SG-100 and the SG I that replaced it. 46 minutes ago, rct said: They only made a few hundred of all of them, 100,200,250.

It was only a year or so. rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
