Where is the rule book regarding this? and by the way thanks in advance for your help on my query>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> On another note I will be posting pics of my recenty aquired 57 GT
Thx O-G
No cork sniffing involved; just a demarcation of discussion areas, that's all. For example, I like vintage LPs and Norlin LPs too, and based on the division of areas I know where to go for discussions of each. The Forum leadership and advisors decided to have a cutoff for the Vintage Section on vintage LPs covering the 50's and 1960 models, since those are considered to be the "classics". We can address any other LPs, including early 60's LPs and even "vintage" Norlins, in this section. For LP Historic models made after mid-93 with the long neck tenon, the Historic District is the suggested Forum area. :wailRains said:well, i understand what the room description says, but i asked something else.
why would a 1969 or even a 1980 les paul not considered to be vintage?
is it all about norlin?
or is it something else i smell?....sniff....sniff....
if it is about the owner of the factory, then gibson has a problem now too since the new guy running the biz...

Whoever decided what this section is to be.

Old-Guy said:Hey Gang,
I know nothing about Norlin era Guitars but I just checked out a 1980 Heritage Orange Burst and I loved it. I can have this guitar for $3,300 canadian. What do you all think. I know it's a Norlin but boy does it play well.

Rains said:you think greg?! :lol
mike, i understand that, but it just is odd that someone with a vintage stock 1969 goldtop of +10k should post here among the studios and classics and not in the vintage section.
maybe add a new section for the vintage norlin les pauls?
maybe not :ahem
Rains said:Age doesn't qualify as Vintage. I think the term needs to evolve now that it is 2005 people are selling things from the dark years of Fender and Gibson 1970 1980 and are jacking up the price and calling it Vintage exploiting nostalgia of the so called next generation and casing confusion with good and bad guitars ( Yes call me an ass hole if you want ) the 70's and 80's use to be considered and embarrassment. Some good things did come out of that time but the bad far more the good. And there are plenty of Vintage dealers and enthusiasts that will say this. I don't mean to offend any one Original guitars are absently expensive and I myself had many U.S.A. production Gibson's form the 80's But the Term Vintage is today to vague a term.:2centsTodd Louis said:explain if you can.....?
