Question I have a Norlin/EPI D-12 6 string I have had it for over 20 years, Trying to decide on repairing or replacing, It needs bridges fret work neck etc. I want to keep it no matter what I do but would like to find out what it could be worth.
Answer Hi Chris,
I tried to do a little reseach on the Norlin Guitar. It seems that Norlin bought out Gibson in 1969. There are some blogs that you can find online. Google, Yahoo searches bring up a few.
I feel that if you like the way your guitar plays and really want to keep it, fix it. If you really would rather get something else and still want to keep the Norlin, then fix it anyway and then save up and get another guitar of your likings. The Norlin will only get better in worth.
