Have aquired through a friends passing, an acoustic guitar that says it's an Epi model D-10??? Has the epi sticker inside that also has the little Norlin logo in it's corner, says it's a product of Lincolnwood, Illinois and also that it's made in Taiwan. Any direction anyone can give me on a possible age, pricing, etc.????? Can't find anything about this model anywhere!

Re: mysterious guitar
I have an Epi D-14 (Norlin... same label as the other Ds, etc.) and trying to figure out something about its age, value, why it's called "Epi" and not "Epiphone", etc. and all I've been able to determine is that Norlin produced in Taiwan between 79 and 81... anything more known now?
Re: mysterious guitar
I also have come accross one of these. The sticker has been torn out but it says the same city & state cept made in Japan. There is also one on Ebay with the sticker torn out. This has an adjustabel bridge and a bolt on neck. Also there is no funny shaped E on mine nor on the one on Ebay...very strange..I;ve searched everywhere &there is no record of guitars made in this city, only Kalamazoo & Nasville.

Re: mysterious guitar
I, too, have just inherited a EPI D-10 and after the serial number it has a "T" with a circle around it then it has Norlin Lincolnwood IL but it also has Taiwan stamped on the inside tag.. I checked in the Blue Book of Acoustic Guitars 8th Edition and it said the Taiwan guitars were made between 1979 to 1981 and Gibson owned Epi at this time. The rcpt. for the guitar was from 1978 so I guess the models come out early like cars?? But there is not a Norlin or D-10 listed anywhere under Epi, Epiphone or Gibson.
