    I was in town from Colorado working in Pasadena and stopped in at Norn's a few weeks ago and played this exact guitar. Open D and Open G Leo Kottke slide stuff. It is everything Norm describes and more. I am more of an old Stella 12 string player tuned down 3 or 4 half steps, but this guitar was really amazing.
    I looked around for a while and didn't see any 12 strings that caught my eye; then I asked one of the guys if they had any interesting 12 strings in the back, and out comes this beauty. The only other thing I would say about this guitar is that the video doesn't capture the true beauty of the sunburst finish. And of course as nice as it sounds in this video, hearing it in person is on a whole different level of appreciating the full sound of one of the highest quality 12 strings around.

    I had a sunburst Guild F412 that I bought from Norm's friend and bandmate, Dan Duehren , which looked, played, and sounded
    great. A few years later I was at Dan's place ,not looking for a 12 string, when he pulled out a Don Musser 12 string with acacia back and sides. It just blew me away. I
    later sold the great Guild back to Dan, as the Musser was unbelievable , and I didn't need 2 guitars with 24 strings. I still have and love that Musser 20 + years later. Thanks Don, Dan, and Norm.
    Like Norm said, Bob Dylan and Neil Young play Musser guitars , and Eddy Van Halen did too. I know why..

    I play a sunburst Guild F-412 12 string that sounds like a choir of angels singing, but it's a beast to play (the guitar's so big and I'm so small). I'd love to have one of those Don Musser 12 strings because it looks a little more manageable than my Guild and it sounds beautiful. Excellent job demoing the guitar, Michael!

      @joermnyc 4 года назад +5

      Don Szymanski agreed, if they truly wanted to feature “rare guitars” they should highlight beautiful work done by small luthiers or very limited production more often... at least on Flat Top Friday. I’m hoping they’ll pull out an original 1930’s D’Angelico someday (not quite a flat top, but a masterpiece can break the rules). Saw a New Yorker in a museum, they had to keep it under glass, otherwise everyone would try to play it.
      Heck if you can find one of only16 flat tops his apprentice D’Aqusito built in his career (he came up with an oval sound hole), Norm might get jealous!

    I wonder why more luthiers do not make compensated bridges and nuts. It is certainly a well known problem and while it would increase production costs it would seem to be a small investment that would provide a tremendous improvement. Perhaps it would require a lot of time consuming neck adjusting that prevents it.
