Nice job, looks like all the bases are well covered. So I'm reaching here but here's Maiden with Stratton and his burst custom....

I can´t say I consider one particular Norlin era Les Paulplayer as a hero to me, but...all the people on this websight that love and appreciate their Pauls and share their knowledge to others - those guys are all the true heroes to me.

I think my first Norlin hero was Randy Rhoads.

But it wasn't until I saw some early 90's videos of Soundgarden playing that I really felt the desire to get a Silverburst.

A lot of people tend to get into the Silverburst because they like Adam Jones from Tool but it was really Chris Cornell who moved me to track one down.

And that was it for me!

LesAdrian · 11-06-2012, 02:29 PM

Randy Rhoads

John Sykes

Doug Aldrich.

Core · 11-06-2012, 03:00 PM

Townshend, Lifeson, Steve Jones stand out to me the most that I can think of at the moment.

That's funny... I remember reading an interview some time ago, where the band (James, Kirk, or both) said that they were Epiphones with Gibson Trussrod covers, and 'cause they were cheap guitars, and is what they could afford at the time.

Maybe Norlin era Epis?

James' flying v he had back in the day was a copy with a Gibson truss rod cover. And it was an Elektra, not an Epi.

This one

But if I remember right most of his Les Pauls are Norlins. I know the Iron Cross is a '74 and I'm wanting to say the Cliff one and the purple satin one are too.

And Kirk's V was actually a Gibson.

Pretty sure Hetfields first white V wasn't even Gibson, nor was it Epi. It was a cheap knockoff made in Japan, an Electra.

Sorry was already said above

Just a slight correction to the above, Rhoads!
Its something us Randy fans keep correcting although it is great to see Randy getting the recognition he deserves

Actually that is a huge foul, and i swear on my RR3 it will never happen again

trblake · 11-08-2012, 03:53 PM

I always liked the way Phil Manzanera played in Roxy Music. He used Gibson Firebirds; I'm not sure if they were from the 1960s or 1970s. His style was unique.
