That’s what sets Norm apart from the majority of dealers. Many would not admit a factory refinish that looks that good. Not that It will affect the price or value, but Norm is full disclosure all the time. People respect that kind of business ethics and honesty. Norms a rare instrument himself
@@CW0123 I guess it looks like a 335 TDC I owned one in 1980 bought it for 600 $ in a small shop at West Palm Beach FLA. Was a 66/67. What will you pay nowadays? 10k - 20k $ ? Crazy
I have a 75 3 color sunburst hard tail strat. First guitar when I was 14 and used 70’s stats were looked down on. Now it’s 3K on reverb. Unreal. It’s my number 1. Well tied with a PRS. McCarty 594 core model
I'd love to see a bench inspection video of that 1966 Strat. It looks almost Sherwood Green now, but whether it started off as Lake Placid or Ocean Turquoise can be determined by looking inside. 4:34 that's clearly a faded 3-tone!
Thanks for the content Norm. Have been playing for just over a year and you and Michael have been guiding me and my collection. When I find the one that's just right for me... I'll give you a shout to make the buy. Be safe and thanks for doing what you do!
Norm you’re doing an excellent job, you’ve such a passion for guitars, so worth while. Just to own one of those guitars would be amazing so I’m just getting off on viewing them online, thanks. I rediscovered guitars at age 61 and I just can’t get enough of them; what is it about guitars….?! Anyway, thanks again and just keep bringing them on 😀
A little inside info of how this works: When I walked into the show Saturday morning, most of these guitars had already been purchased and were stacked under tables in Norm’s booth. Vendors get to “pick” each other’s stock before the show starts. I thought the prices were high as well. As far as “Risked My Life” goes, it might have been because the vendors had to prove vaccination, and the patrons did not. I found that odd for a Larry Briggs ran guitar show….in TEXAS!
@@lofideltaguitars8484 me too. Although it’s nothing like the good old days when I worked for Larry Morgan Music. You could actually buy several vintage guitars for a couple grand if you knew what to look for. Now everyone thinks they have museum pieces.
One thing I have learned from these videos, and that is gold foil pickups are no joke. These days, we have hybrid high power (more wild windings!) and the secret gold foil tech for a sound I would never have predicted.
Good-gosh-almighty, you pickup up some beautiful guitars this time, Norm. That candy apple red Tele bass killed me. I just need it to start raining money. HeHe
Norm has supreme taste in guitars. And deep pockets to back it. Those old jazz boxes are the bomb. And the '60 strat. Rosewood neck. Played a '59 a friend had in the 70's.
norm is really cool man .. i like his charismatic aura .. man i really would do it all to visit norms guitar shop and buy myself a guitar !! i mean . one for 200 dollar bcause im broke as hell . but man that guitar would be the guitar of my life !! but i now got myself 3 jobs .. so i can safe a lil bit for my trip hopefully one day to norms guitar !!!
Norm you always know what is best for the end user, which ones to pass on and which to buy! Or you wouldn’t be in business for this many years! Stay safe out there.
Always great vids, demos, chat. Thanks so much for this post. Where else can we see such guitars and you speak about each... terrific.. Yeah... I want one...lol
Just a comment on the Johnny Smith guitar. Good on you Johnny for NOT wanting Gibson to narrow the neck. For the life of me I can't understand why ANYONE would want a thinner neck, especially down at the nut. Now OK, I've got gorilla hands, so much so that most ES-335s are just so much kindling wood to me. But just the same, surely it'd be nicer to play a guitar on which the chords located in farmyard corner would ring out easier with no unintentional muting from the fretting hand? I search Ebay quite often and it's heartbreaking to see what, at first, seems like a guitar that'd suit me fine, only to discover that it has a thinner neck than I can play.
Freeze frame it at 4:42. Upside-down neck plate or is that one of those rare ones with the serial number stamped on the bottom part of the plate? Hard to see it clearly.
The Dallas guitar show has been way high on prices for years. I stopped going to it because it a number of years ago. Im curious how he "risked your life" going to a guitar show and buying guitars?
I LOVE the Glarry box in the back of the truck with all of that vintage gear!

If someone is going procure, all these guitars, glad it's someone with the love, knowledge and passion for the instruments.
This dude?🤣😂 Norm’s a hustler from way back.
Norm is a GOD! Thanks so much for being there🏆
I love these videos when Norm comes back with lots of guitars.
That cherry 335 is unbelievably beautiful. I need this guitar!
I believe that’s technically a 330

@@CW0123 I am quite certain that the 330’s had P90’s.

Love that hardtail strat. Fender needs to make more of them!
Robert Cray artist series. MIM and a great strat!!! Then there's also the custom shop version :-)

Man I thought I was in heaven seeing these incredible vintage instruments!
Awesomeness Galore!
Thanks Norm!
OMG! It never ends, every blanket uncovers another layer of guitars. We need more biscuits! 🤠
Fun to see the Norm’s family hard at work behind the scenes! Assuring us that there will be many great GOTDs to come.

Norm has special vintage guitar finding powers👍 He is the guitar whisperer
He just goes to the vintage guitar shows. The difference is he has bread and I don’t. I whisper, but no one hears.
@@benlogan430 Read his books and check facts
$$$ speaks LOUDLY!
He's not whispering, he's just buying in large volumes at public shows.
He just goes to guitar shows and tries to buy people's collections in bulk to help lower his cost. It's business 101...
Norm has impeccable knowledge and taste. It's no wonder such big stars frequent his shop.
Could watch Norm open guitar cases all day. Some cool stuff. Thanks for sharing.
The Norm went shopping videos are my absolute favorite videos. Love seeing so many at one time.
Always love it when Norm brings in more guitars and basses.
Norm your the best guitar guy thanks again for your help today! Norm take it easy your show needs you alive and today your working hard!
I see you bought a Schwinn Sting-Ray! 😎👍
It was my pleasure to meet you at the show, Norm. I know you will find good homes for the guitars I sold you there.
Loved seeing all of these. Thanks for showing us.
I love these videos, always a joy to watch.
WE LOVE YOU NORM!!!..THANK YOU! :)
I love that green Schwinn Stingray in the box van. I had a new one of those in the 70s.
It's not easy having a new guitar every day for GOTD.
The classic showrunner's dilemma.
Jen hollering, "Norm, I need more guitars!! Yesterday!"
(:
Good to see your latest additions Norm......cheers from NZ.
Thanks Norm...you do great stuff for All the music world. You are a very talented person!!🎵🎶🎵
Wow! Some beautiful guitars Norm.
Merry Christmas!🎸🎶☮️❤️😍✌️
Norm you are a Guitar Hero! Well done 😎
Everyone of these is like a little bit of Christmas morning. Great job Team Norm.
It's easy to see but Norm really loves these guitars. Of course so do I!
Thanks for the content Norm. Have been playing for just over a year and you and Michael have been guiding me and my collection. When I find the one that's just right for me... I'll give you a shout to make the buy. Be safe and thanks for doing what you do!
I love old guitar men.
I always get along with them.
Love the new guitars!
❤️❤️ that L5-CES and Natural Johnny Smith double pickup.

Yep buy em all up and jack the prices so only the elite can get one!
I was at this show. The Dallas/Arlington shows are the best! I remember seeing some of these guitars at the show.
Being around Norman is like hanging out with Santa Claus everyday, you never know what you are going to see but you know it is going to be special.
Takes me back to my childhood when the ice cream truck came down the street! "Supply chain issues" ? Sounds like classic old guitar salesman talk!
Wow. Great buys Norm! Congratulations 🎊🍾🎈🎉
Sherwood green? My ‘63 strat was originally that color. But it was already refinished “natural” when I bought it it the late seventies.
Would have loved to see Norm tooling abound the show on that Stingray with the banana seat......
WE LOVE YOU NORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, it’s ridiculous. I feel bad for the vendors having to be pressured just to do business. Such stupidity
For sure. I almost cancelled my trip…but went anyway. I’m looking forward to the next Texas show in Spring of ‘22. Hopefully things will be better.

LMAO! I love 'Cival War Randy'. He prioritised his horse and need for biscuits.
Wow. That L5 and The Johnny Smith were beautiful !!!
Good-gosh-almighty, you pickup up some beautiful guitars this time, Norm. That candy apple red Tele bass killed me. I just need it to start raining money. HeHe
Those guitar shows must get psyched when they see Norm coming in.
What a straight shooter and I love the reactions of the videographer.
It's harder to forge vintage guitars now, with the supply chain issues. :P
Ironically it will cause prices to rise
Norm has supreme taste in guitars. And deep pockets to back it. Those old jazz boxes are the bomb. And the '60 strat. Rosewood neck. Played a '59 a friend had in the 70's.
prices were way up... we noticed that too!
All those 1968s… my birth year. Someday I will own a guitar from ‘68

Thanks for sharing Norm! More great guitars for GOTD!
Love this part of the show
Hey Norm... I noticed the box in the back of the van... How many of those Vintage Glarry Guitars did you get?
I think I see my Schwin “Pea Picker” 5-speed bike from 1970 in the back of the truck ? I’ll take that and the 1960 Strat as a package deal ! 😎
Hello Norm! From your friend ArchAngel Michael! Very nice 👍
Norm rule the Vintage Market
Stunning instruments and cool bike i wanna see closer too😁

That truck load is insane. What i'd give to even see that .

Always great vids, demos, chat. Thanks so much for this post. Where else can we see such guitars and you speak about each... terrific..
Yeah... I want one...lol
Beautiful
I’m looking for a Sherwood green strat. Super hard to find one with the right specs in australia as I can’t afford vintage. Love the videos norm.
Some nice guitars there. Thanks Norm!
Wow, love that Rosewood Tele !! Just needz ta raise the Do-Re-Mi, if ya know wut I mean...
I’m thinking about buying that vintage Martin D-45
Some stunning guitars there!
Awesome. Beautiful Guitars!
Looking forward to the Tele bass on a Thursday
Those Strats were gorgeous!!! They won’t last long

Love these videos 🎸🎸🎸
Yeah Norm ain't lying prices has sky rocketed last year, and it's all over the world as far I can tell. Even in lower end stuff it's high atm.

Have you gotten any Jackson Randy Rhoades models, come through your shop?
Been watching since day one your awesome and videos are awesome as well 😀
That Dove is my absolute dream guitar... wish I could afford it but sadly will never be able to own something like it.
I have an old 70's Fender case with the orange padding. Are those worth anything?
Those will be a great addition to the warehouse.
And here I thought I was a shopaholic. You've got me beat by far, Norm.😁
I never thought that Normans Rare Guitars was in an old shopping center.
