- Norman Harris and Joe Bonamassa show off their guitars, Joe brought his 1965 Fender Stratocaster in Fiesta Red and Norm brought out his 1953 Fender Telecaster Black Guard. They talk about their guitars and its history! What do you guys think?
Joe wants to talk about the tones and how well the Tele plays. Norm wants to try and show everyone how original everything is and how it has a big sale value
Norm would not look out of place at a UK car boot sale.
I think it’s funny how joe always starts to play when norm starts talking 😂
Or when norm handed him the blackguard Tele and norm thinking Joe was gonna hand him the strat joe kept both...
I would love to see a YT series on Joe checking out old gear. I'd binge watch that for hours
That guitar could not have found a better home ! You Go Joe !
Agree. Not only is Joe an amazing player and great showman, he is very respectful of his collection and understands that he is just the caretaker for a time.
Amen to that...who knew that first generation American electric guitars would age like the finest violins ? Norm's must be the best guitar store on the planet !
M DA that's what makes joe so great..not only a rediculous player but a historian of the instrument. .his collection alone could probably open a museum
Have you watched the videos of Joe playing at 14 ? He was ready for prime time right out of the box !
Joe will take these vintage Strats on the road with him as well, very cool!
When you watch a JB video on RUclips, he's either :
1 Hoarding Vintage gears
2. Playing Live
So cool Norm....Simply amazing guitarists Joe Bonamassa. Love watching him. I just beam when I see Telecasters like that .
Joe - "I'm rusty, need to practice" After ripping out some sublime jamming that I couldn't even hope to replicate even on my best day.
Joe B one of the Best around ! Keepin the Blues alive !
4:16
Norm: This thing has got-
Joe: *verbed out unplugging and noodling*
Wow! The voice of that telecaster is something else!
Beautiful guitar .....must be a pleasure to play....light resonate....guitar heaven
Sweet guitar's. Mr joe you are a great guitarist. Keep on playing and I'll keep listening. Thanks.
"I'm almost at Mel Bay book 2!!" lol I still have my Mel Bay book one, the first lesson? When the Saints go marching in.
Mel Bay got it going for me, I still recommend the books to students. Thanks Joe and Norm!
Joe has great tone I love listening to him play
Those are 2 beautiful guitars!
My favorite one is the Stratocaster.
I had a 1965 Sunburst Strat that was so beaten up it made SRV/Rory’s Strats look pristine.But by God did it play and sound beautiful.Think Sultans of Swing tone.It was stolen in 92.
I know its cool these days to have vintage beatup strats & teles from the 50's & 60's but to me, clean is mean!
Yeah clean is nice and I never understood people buying new guitars that are so called relics makes no sense but I do understand buying a true 50s or 60s guitsr that is an actually relic because of the history and the tone on the older beat up guitars are just different I love those but again people just making and buying brand new 2107 2018 guitars that are relic on p urpose makes no sense lol but I def u nderstand buying a classic 100 percent
Agreed. I've heard both sides to the argument, and I'm still not convinced that "new relics" are worth more than new. I get the price due to the amount of man-hours that go into these custom relics, but IMO, it's stolen valor. Wear and some cosmetic damage is supposed to happen, it's just dishonest to have a pre-relic'd guitar.
thanks norm. great videos for us mortals to watch
I'm SIMPLY AMAZED. No, I AM ASTONISHED, that someone had the presence of mind to save the friggin' hang tags from a new guitar OVER 50 YEARS AGO! That's truly amazing. And, it sounds like something my dad would do. He still has EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF LITERATURE from his contact lenses he got in the 70's. His brother was a really prominent optometrist, and dad pretty much got the first pair sold in the U.S. I'm also amazed the owner had the presence of mind to order a Strat in a custom color. If a vintage Fender is a custom color, I want the headstock to match. I wish my '61 J-Bass was a custom color. Just listen to me, sounding greedy. I need slapped. Lol. I wonder why Fender never offered a matching 'burst headstock option, like they did solid colors? I don't even think they do that now, unless it's custom shop.
I don't care for the guitars but for that ad. It's amazing!
Don't know anything about this guitar store, but since I rarely see a collection of explorers or v's (my favorite) in stores, I have mad respect for you Norm! Keep rockin y'all
Norm's Rare Guitars has been in business since the 70's.
Norm really dresses up for work eh.
That’s how you know he loves what he does for a living. Handling business and zero f’s given
I've been thinking this for years now lol.
He dresses like a slob, then shoots footage 😆 Cringe
@@dutchmcfadyen5867 probably does a little more than that. He probably works with new acquisitions, building relationships with high profile customers, managing the day to day activities (he doesn't just sell vintage guitars), and also works on big sales like this. It's a bit unfair to judge him just on the clothes he wears. Quite honestly, nobody buying a vintage guitar is going to be dressed in a suit. Those people buy steinways, not fenders or gibsons.
I have a friend who has a '51 Nocaster. I get to play it once in a while. Very sweet!
I grew up on Mel Bay books.
I remember the D'Angelico and the 1 finger C chord well!
Love these vids! Gonna spend my Sunday watching a ton of them!
I still have my 1st Mel Bay book, 1st lesson? "When the saints go marching in"...and yes, I still play that song from time to time.
Big fan of Joe !!! Love the '65
I remember using Mel Bay When Is was younger
Norm, I love how close you and Joe are... watching the two of you makes a guy feel like he knows you...
Norm’s best buddy is Joe’s credit card
You can't have enough early telecasters in almost new condition. The telecasters sound was undeniable, and to my ears, has as good of a sound as one can ask for. The real question is, should it be installed in a show case, vault, or played. My vote is play her and let her have the life she was ment to have. How sad to have a silent instrument, in the end mother nature will take care of it all.
2:06 so true with strats - the consistent ageing of the metal parts (even the screws) helps tell that it's the original guitar.
Man... What a humble guy... I love that quality in JB. Wanna see what a wanker is???? See the video of Sambora and Arianthi at Norm's (talk about two tools?!). I'll take a good dude like JB any day....
Joe is the coolest guitar geek ... I hope he opens a guitar store one day.
Smokin joes mouth was watering from that guitar. Great player, no doubt about it.
That guitar needs a couple of humbuckers and a floyed rose in it. ONLY KIDDING, very nice strat,
Haha! You joke but that actually happened! For real!
On the Strat Talk forum, there is guy who got a '62 just like that. A repairman/luthier in 1987 turned this guitar into a superstrat, complete with UGLY sparkle paint, Kahler trem, a replacement lead pickup, the neck GLUED in and the holes filled. Not only that the dude had the guy stamp his name and the fact that is was a '62 right into the back of the headstock! Plus the guy who got it opened the trem cavity only to see it was originally lake Placid blue! and the neck (once it was free) and pickup dates of the middle and neck were legit. Luckily it's new owner restored it completely to as stock as he could get and back to the blue. It's now a beaut! But still.. dude could have bought a superstrat for the money.. ugh.. true story!
You were 5 words away from a verbal shit storm lol!
That's funny, maybe a sustainiac and a d-tuna as well.
And with a cheesy graphic over the guitar like some of the late 80' s Kramers had
Taylor Werner yeaaahh like throw a kirk hammet nosferatu graphic over that nasty red. Throw out that nut and put a brass nut, throw a floyd rose and cut a cavity out for three emgs and a battery pack. and of course you gotta sand down the neck for smoother playing....
This is like "how can i fuck up this guitar the most"
here in the uk it was " bert weedon,s play in a day" !!!!!!
Wow.. I So remember the Mel Bay Books.. Love the Strat & Tele.
I have the exact same Fender Strat except it's a 1966 in mint condition. That particular paint color was applied very thick when they were built....it almost appears as peach color under certain light.
Joe B: "I've played some nice guitars..." Understatement of the millennium.
When Joe got the tele switch in the middle... gah what a killer tone. So, did the tele go home with Joe? I cant think of a more deserving player
I can't help but think how the metal buttons on Joe's jacket must be capable of scratching those pristine guitars!
Oh my god! Mel Bay... I'm having flashbacks to being a 13 year old going to my first guitar lessons!
Cool video! Joe is one heck of a player! Norm, that is a cool Tele!!
What a great natural talent! Love him!
In classic car parlance, a "hairpin". Original and immaculate
I love that Tele Esquire styling. Looove. Sounds so good
I think I still have the whole collection of mel bay books from the 80s! Joe and I are the same age but it looks like his books did him better than mine!
have Joe back soon and give us a little Danny Gatton harlem nocturn on that thing!. danny just had a birthday
I had a guitar just like that in 1971!l couldn't stand the orangey red color. Bought it for $150 ,sold it fot $350! Boy ,l wish that l still had it now!!
Nice to hear the yanks speaking about the legend of Hank Marvin.
I'm surprised that they've even heard of him.
JB is massively influenced by bluesmen over seas
My bet is that JB will end up with the '53 Tele...
I was thinking the same thing. Good sales tactic by Norm! Ha...
John 5 is also a big Tele guy
just search on tube john 5 tele collection ... believe me , he dont need to fight over another telecaster , not even a fan of his but when i saw that ...
FLOYD DEWD because is an idiot
He ends up with every 53 tele he sees
I learned with Mel Bay and Alfred's Guitar books, back in the 1960s. My first guitar book was, "E-Z Guitar". I have no idea who published it. I bought it in a camera store where I bought strings.
Looks similar to Gary Moore's '61 Fiesta Red Strat,the one he's using for the ''Red House'' cover,at the Fender Anniversary concert,in London.Fender is actually making a custom shop reissue of that.
greekfreak1980 rip Gary Moore
Very similar. Except Gary's was a 61 with a mint pickguard.
@@philliprobinson129 and I think it was salmon pink
Tele sounds fu$%^ng awesome!!!!!!
That telecaster sounded danm good.
I like the butter bean tuners on that vintage stratocaster !
I believe this is the same guitar that was recently (maybe still is) for sale at Rumbleseat.
This color scheme (Fiesta red w/ rosewood) is in my top 3 favorites, so I'm seriously slobbering over it !!!
I know the Mel Bay books. Yup, they’re still used
Telecaster has that bass setup front pickup....that was done for the bass sound....that 53 is in remarkable shape a time capsule....gotta say the new 52 reissues have the butterscotch finish down much better than the 1982 reissues
They talk more about this tele than the strat...both amazing guitars
Awesome guitar! I'm jelly !
What a humble man. I love joe. Buy that teley Joe
cool vid and nice 'hang'. Love the story behind the Fiesta Red color and Hank Marvin but wish i had my '75 SB or the mid '60s 'bonnie raitt' Brownie that slipped through my fingers. Have a pearl white Arbor from '85 for Trower stuff and a '95 Black Turbo Predator for whatever.. Beyond the first two, i'm set.
I own and original 1962 strat and its kind of looks orange in color but i have been told its fiesta red. It has a penciled in date on the end of the neck 1/62
Beautiful !!!!! I've got a '64 candy apple myself 😛
I love that Norm tortured Joe with the 53 tele, And I'd bet He now owns it too.. And yeah Norm keeps great vintage gear just for JB & thinks of him whenever the "Good Stuff" comes thru.. ROCK ON!! Gary/Hk
Love Joe! Hell of a player!
I love that 65 Strat fiesta red. Ohh I want one so much. But military pension now it's so hard to get. Even a vintage build of that 65. One day before I die love customshop fender Strat 65 or 68. I want to come to the shop but that be my guitar money to spend in shop. I love all old posters and case stuff. Bachelor house with me dog and my guitars.
A vintage fiesta red w/ rosewood is one of my big grail guitars !!
Joe Bonamassa , true to the cause Fender amplifiers, thank God for a true artist, I only owned a few Vintage Guitars and amplifiers a 1959 Stratocaster, Gibson Les Paul Standard a 1968 Reissue, a Blackface Fender Twin-Reverb, a Bandmaster, small Champ, Dual-Showman a Martin Om-28 Still have it, which is a 000-28 bought and sold lots of musical equipment, today in the studio these 30 year old do not know how to use the volume and tone pots on the guitar unbelievable that they can not control the instrument from these knobs It just boogles the mind that these guys never took out the time to learn the basic electronics of a Les Paul, Stratocaster, Telecaster, They are more collecters than players I guess they never had the experience of playing with others in a band, best learning experience ever the business is in trouble I know this because there are very few venues left in which to perform, Great to see and hear some like you from upstate N.Y. now in Calif.and loved the piece Nerdville ,USA Keep the blues and R&R Alive Thank You for keeping the tradition alive, And you get to make a living doing something you really love, Norman Harris what can I say makes great deals with working musicians
That was badass!!!
"Here, let me rub the metal buttons from my $50 denim jacket all over these pristine guitars".
Now it cost double cause it was Joe lol
Hi, he has his cuffs rolled up to prevent button rash.
I am a simple person. I saw Joe Bonamassa then I click like
You know Joe left the store with that Tele.
I remember when '65 Strats were selling for around $1500.00. I was only about 15 or 16 years old, so I didn't have enough money to buy one, but I wanted a fiesta red one so bad.
Was the original owner named Charlie Miller? My guitar teacher passed around 2013 and he has a 65 fiesta red strat. He was a phenomenal player
Anyone else more interested in how a 'good' guitar over 60 years old can be so mint? Two videos for one guitar plus JB's endorsement should ensure Norm gets mega bucks.
Anybody else here remember this with a very pale green pick guard? The body was a bright vermillion red. A band mate had it new in '65, it was the first electric guitar I played in HS. I cursed that guitar at the time, having played guitar for all of a year. Now I wish I had another crack at it. The guitar and I were both too new. I saw one in a shop, in a glass case a few years ago,20K.
Beautiful 53 Tele !!!
He bought it you can tell he did not want to let it go.....
very cool! sounds like 'My Foolish Heart' what Joe plays at around 2:00
Nice hat!
Jesus that tele looks like a reissue, I'm stuck with a classic vibe tele . I really need to start working
Did he buy the tele? Would be crazy not to. Must be the best one on the planet condition wise. Just shows there are mint original gee-tars out there.
According to uncle stack knob at Fender FDP forum.
They did NOT REPAINT SUNBURST FINISHES WITH CUSTOM COLOURS IN THE U.K.
Initially Fender guitars were imported by Jennings,the Vox makers,of Dartford in Kent,and they advertised them in a simple catalogue.
By late '62 the amplifier makers and retail shop Selmers offerred them. Selmers had a small factory in Holborn as well where amps and the like were made.
If you search for the vintage Hofner site you will find accounts in there from original employees of Selmers at the Holborn factory location,incuding a hand-drawn floorplan of the place.THERE WERE NO SPRAY FACILITIES.
Over the many years,various nefarious dealers have advocated the stupid story that the refinishing did occur,and they claim Selmers' did it.This of course has been to explain away the refinished instruments they had done themselves,and were trying to create credibility. The "Selmer refinish" as it has come to be known is a joke more than anything else,and usually appears in a very salmony pink fiesta red,thickly applied.They can be spotted a mile away.
Just a side note,
the best color
I like seeing someone talking up the price,I would lend him my Squier 50's classic vibe re issue its a jem
come on Joe, the jacket has buttons
least he doesnt have rings on like the douchebag who does the guitar of the day videos
Considering necessary truss rod adjustments, is it possible the neck’s never been off?
I'm amazed that they've heard of Hank Marvin in America.
The shadows were an amazing band
I like to watch these vids and try to get of glimpse of the price tag hanging off the thing.
I think I saw one that said $200K
Beautiful '53😍
Instant magic - take a vintage guitar, add a Bonamassa - voila! 👍
Norm just looks like a salesman. From his clothes to everything lol
Where and HOW does he get those Wonderful Guitars!!!!
I wish Clapton came in and u guys did a video lol
Stayed 3 nights on the roof of the midnight mission god bless
