Norlin count.

[NorlinBlackBeauty]

I have one! Bought used in 1976 - I was 15.

I have these three, 86 Studio Standard on left, ~72? LPR-B center, and 75 LP Deluxe. The bass and deluxe have pancake bodies. The bass has a one piece mahogany top and no volute, which I thought was kind of strange. The Deluxe has a volute but not a pronounced one. The SS has a pencil thin neck (no like), no volute and has original Shaws based on research. It has faber bridge and tailpiece and a 50's harness.

Just adding some details on the necks. The bass has 3 piece mahagony, the deluxe 3p maple, and the SS solid hog. The fretboards on with the deluxe and the bass are superb!

668 (Darrel you went back 100, it should have been 66x and not 56x) 1981 Goldtop Deluxe, routed for stud mount Kahler, behind the nut locking, routed for Humbucker in the bridge. I give you, The Beast

You are correct! Thank you for pointing out my Senior Moment!

I went back and edited my mistakes and apologize for any confusion I caused!

So if we count the bass too it is

669 going forward....

I totally forgot about this "roach" in my previous addition. It' a 1982 LP Firebrand that I believe has been refinished in black. Some have said that this model was actually offered in colors other than natural, but I'm not so sure of that. Not a stellar guitar, but is very stable, all mahogany and currently relegated to big string/higher action slide duty. Doesn't even hold a candle to my 1980 in post #961. Terrible pics and kinda dusty!

I guess it stands at #671?

You're welcome!

I think you may have miss-spoke when you said "B.S. Degree" I'm sure you meant to say a 'Doctorate B.S. Degree' didn't you? Because you my friend, are on top of the food chain when it comes to B.S.!!

Thank you both for some of the best times I've had here on the Mule!

I hope you both have a great Christmas day, and I look forward to more yuks in the New Year.

Well I just saw this now...we have something else in common @mudface, besides being guitarists and our love for Les Pauls...our first name!
