69 GT w/ 3 pc neck & long tenon?
I have heard that a few of these exist, but I have never seen one. I asked the seller, the infamous guitars_of_godzilla, to send me a pic so that I can see for myself. I am doubting it is really a long tenon; most likely transitional.

(Here's where everyone chimes in and hammers the seller.)

Ok, he sent me pics; it is a trans tenon. I guess he didn't know the difference. Neither did I 1 year ago....

Aaaah, I love those early Norlins!

Is it a pancake body? Hard to tell, and he doesn't say... Looks pretty nice overall. I wonder how well that repair was done. The price isn't terribly high, considering the rolled pickguard...

Haha! I laughed out loud at my desk when I read your response! He's not a young inexperienced guy, is he? I think everyone knows him.

Still, it looks like a decent deal, except for his rep.

The picture of the neck /headstock area has been photo shopped for sure.

What's up with the logo being so close to the tuners on the head? It almost looks like the head is not long enough. It has a wide head. Is that the way the logos look on a wide head? I will show some pics of my 68-69 GTs with small heads and include my 68 LPC with the larger head.

His head is here:

Re: 69 GT w/ 3 pc neck & long tenon?
Headstock looks like mine. I have the 3 piece trans tenon neck (but a 1 piece body) and large headstock - the face of my headstock has been refinished, but the Gibson logo was masked off and is as original. I have the "dotted i" - which is uncommon of the 3 piece neck 69's:
