Just curious ... I see Forum sections that cover the ‘50s and the ‘60s eras but nothing for the ‘70s Norlin era, or even the ‘80s ... any reason?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Methinks the original forum organization was extremely favorable to what was considered the vintage era, the '50s and '60s, and there was an attitude afloat that everything else was a step down, or twelve, from that era. There was a time when guitars from the '70s and '80s were held in pretty strong disfavor here. However, some of that has blown over and these instruments are now valued for their own characteristics. The forum structure has survived, though, and all that stuff lives in the Sunburst/Gibson USA forum now. Being the owner of an early '70s guitar I am glad that the attitudes have softened. It's good to be able to discuss these guitars with aspersions being thrown.

The forum is almost 20 years old ... I suppose a 71 Les Paul was ~30 years old and not “vintage” yet. Now it’s almost 50 years old. When does it become Vintage?
... Mötley Crüe and Nirvana are Classic Rock.
As the years fly by the Sunburst/Gibson USA pup gets bigger and bigger and much harder to find the treads about the ´70 LPs.
I would really lika a dedicated ´70 pub, or maybe stretch out the ´60s pub to ca -75.
