Had an opportunity to visit the Mecca known as Norman’s Rare Guitars today. Was able to meet Mark, Jen and Norm! What a gracious and wonderful group of people, they made me, a nobody, feel not only welcome but appreciated. I always read about how Norm only speaks to the stars and big spenders and let me say that certainly wasn’t my experience as he was friendly and very approachable. Mark and Jen were both beyond nice. Thank you both for talking to and spending so much time with me. Mark, thanks for the gig bag for my new p bass! Go Norm’s!!!!

@aquilarossa5191 6 лет назад

I hope a player buys this Strat and plays it for years, rather than it doing the trader circuit with an ever higher price. Vintage guitar prices are crazy but that's what people are paying to collect some music history. Sure, i could build a parts one and it would be good. I could also build a Ford Model T, but it will never be the real deal. Where I think it gets obnoxious with guitar pricing is the aged stuff coming from Fender and Gibson's CS lines that are several times the price of the base model. I prefer to just buy the base model used and play it lots to age it. Seems more legit to me and is more friendly on the wallet. What i really want though is a place with no neighbors and a barn that i know i can stay at for over a decade so i can have a dog I never have to re-home and Marshall stacks etc next to my vodka still and all that. A place people can come stay for an affordable fee and rehearse/record/relax.

@jimbonacum8917 6 лет назад

Now that is what I call an episode of Guitar of the Day! Best of all we got to hear the guitar with its clean tone instead of hearing it overdriven. You can always crank your amp or add a pedal but what I always want is to hear the clean tone. If I like that I know I will also like it after I have pushed it. And what an Incredible tone on all 3 pickups! Best GOTD since the Broadcaster back in August,

@jenniferwhitewolf3784 6 лет назад

Jim Bonacum Amen on clean tones.. any crapper can overdrive and be dirty... but only the good ones are good clean.

@TheChadPad 5 лет назад

Yeah, it's easier to tell how a guitar will sound distorted from its clean tone than how it will sound clean from its distorted tone

@kendalljamesmusic 6 лет назад

“I could put this much wear on this guitar in a weekend” LOL! No shit- especially with the evil relic-ing jacket on. This made me go back and watch a few of the old GODs- Mark has gotten a lot looser on-cam, and the negative comments on how he treats the guitars have really tapered off. One early commenter even bitched about how hard he picked! I always get my daily dose of the show, even if I cringe now and then- keep ‘em coming guys, thanks

@Billybobjohngeorgejr 2 года назад

I have a 55 strat. Once owned by Kenny Loggins before he was a name. He lived in Sierra Madre and sold it to one of my brothers friend who sold it to me over 40 years ago. Ive been playing it since I was 19 years old. I let other people play it and they love it. I tell them an old guitar is all I could afford. So cool to see one at Norman's.

@rdmkeytohwy 6 лет назад

That '55 Strat is a stunner! The three songs were perfect to show how each of the pickups sound. There is some merit to the 3-way switch. I know the 5-way is more versatile and that is how my Squier strat is set up, but this is absolute classic strat tone. I like Les Pauls and humbuckers, too but, in my opinion, this is what a guitar should sound like. Thank you Mark and Jen, this made my Straturday. Thanks to Norm for buying these guitars and sharing them with all of us. You guys make us feel like we are a part of this thing. Is there anything better than a classic, vintage guitar? The answer is, " No!"

@jeff1586er 6 лет назад

I'm curious about the serial number. I once missed out on an old Strat in 1967, hard tail, finish shot as in gone, hole in the back to spin it around, pickup covers worn out on the edges , middle pickup not functioning but I was young and my guitar teacher had just ordered a Danelectro 1 pickup for me a week or so before for the same price, $75. I remember if I'm right the serial number was 2346. Decades later I found the guy that bought it and I was told he took it apart to have it painted but didn't remember what happened to it. We were young and poor. It was by Philadelphia. I wonder who was the original owner and if I've ever heard of him.
