Norman's Rare Guitars GOTD youtube vids - anyone enjoy em?

What's Hot
TimmyOTimmyO Frets: 7349
I only stumbled across them in the last month or so - nice short watch and some really interesting stuff.

Staggering how quickly many of them sell after being featured - and none are exactly cheap!
Red ones are better.

    They often use mediocre amps and record using a camera mic.  Massive missed opportunity considering the quality of the guitars they have.

    I like that it's a quick grab and go demo rather than a studio thing - the 65 Strat they just demoed sounded awesome through the HRDx
    Red ones are better.

    I like them, and Mark seems a decent guy.

    Agree on the camera work, the change of phase on the mic as they move is intensely annoying.

    This is worth a look:



    Basically Norm admitting he's sitting on guitars, and the things they pull out of storage!

    Are all of those crates full of old guitars?

    Their shop must be a bit parky, that chap insists on always wearing a leather jacket indoors.
    They do have some rather nice offsets though.

    I bought a couple of guitars off Norm about the years back.....great to deal with and more than happy to chat guitar. I love the vids but just wish they'd play through a decent amp.

    Thanks for posting that @Fretwired! Jonesy is a hero of mine. I've just read his autobiography 'Lonely Boy' which was ace. His instagram account is hilarious.

    Awesome guitars and great playing but Mark seems so smug! His tacky jacket and weird posture/shoulders bother me for some irrational reason.

    @HarrySeven must be getting worried, Normans have got nearly as many guitars as he does.

    For a store with such a wide array of vintage selection, they sure don't seem to put a lot on display in their website.
