No. I don't know what a Norlin Deluxe is worth.

lot of violins in the background, kind of interesting. What have you tried so far to date it?
I believe those are Viola's. The blurred bows on the right give aways that those are likely not Violins. They are too large to be Violins. That is likely a music store. The bodies look too thin to be upright (string basses); the bodies also are not deep enough. There is a remote possibility that they are cello's.

that's my high school graduation year, and the same year I bought my first les paul shaped object, an Ibanez Les Paul Standard copy. Imma go out on a ledge and say yours is probably better :D

I bought a Deluxe '70s in 2021. It has survived my recent culling of the inventory and is an outstanding guitar. Deluxes got their own thing going on. Mine weighs just a scoot over 10 pounds. What does that '76 weigh?

... it was made in Kalamazoo which is cool cause I live in Michigan ...
It is also cool because Kalamazoo-made guitars are more prized over Nashville ones. When you sell it, mention that. Also, I know that wine red is not the most desirable finish to be selling, but not horrible either. I am not an expert on prices, but I would think a mint-condition all-original KM-made '76 Deluxe would at least be $4K for a quick sell.

100% a '76. Value has skyrocketed post-pandemic. The cheapest '76 I see on Reverb right now is 3500 and damn, I could definitely use 10,500 dollars...

That said, that is ASKING price and not purchased price.

actual sold prices from Reverb

I notice the link is for the Pro model...with P90s. And the sold price is around $2800 to $ 3500.
So @01GT Eibach pretty much nailed the asking price...

Op, you lucked out, IMO. That is, literally, one of my grail guitars (Norlin Deluxe in wine red).

(Same serial number decal as my 76)...That looks to be in really nice condition.

The pots date from February of 1976.... I’m pretty confident it’s a 1976 model,... everything indicates original.
