"Start saving when you're young," probably the truest words ever spoken on this channel.
It's like going to the Morgan Stanley site to get advice on rare guitars...
Incredible collection, and he remembers every single guitar
The best guitar shop by far
great people, great guitars
Better pizza, popa John’s
Reminds me of Jay Leno and his cars. He said always buy what you like, and don’t sell anything!!
Excellent advice about saving & start saving as young as possible!
Great intro Norm; so true. Wish you guys made more of these "warehouse run", vids. They are amazing. Seriously incredible collection, wow. Love that Lemmo just wants to play them all. Haha, awesome.
The most amazing thing about it all.....there are 10,000 guitars in that warehouse, and Norm know each and every one of em, where he got, what he paid, the whole deal. Norm is my hero.
$300 Steve in Indonesia is my super hero He gave Norman cash to give to his employees Didnt Frank Stallone have his guitars made in Indonesia ? A lot of guitars are made in Indonesia I bet Steve could make me a really nice copy of a 59 strat or any other guitar I wanted to have built $ and you couldnt tell the difference
That many?
Maybe tell us background like... How many square feet is warehouse, how do you control the climate, how track inventory, do the guitars get checked/tuned/played? Nuts and bolts...
Great vid Norm 👌 and great advice. You probably don't realise what a difference you guys make during these times. Much appreciated 🙏
thank you Keir!
you are so right this little show got me through some bad days, always feel better after getting my guitar fix LOL
The legendary norm ❤
Un-Freakin Real... Time to start saving my quarters!🤟🏻😎🎸🎶☮️😍
Thanks for sharing with us great collection
Awesome
I'm 61 and have never saved a thing in my life except regrets, grudges and hurt feelings. Better than nothing, I suppose, but Norm's way is better
i,m 180 from you..i wonder why?
@@johnsmith-bk4ps I don't know, but I plan to hold a grudge against you for at least a month
I felt like givin a thumb down also by pure envy, but i didn’t. i took a deep breath and gave a thumbs up 👍 and one day i hope to be in a position where a could by one of those beauty’s. Thank you norm for keeping my dream alive 😁
keeping a good positive attitude is what will allow you to someday own an excellent guitar like one of these

Imagine having those babies side by side in your collection.
Imagine buying all of this and remember where or when you bought it, amazing
That blue Esquire...Took by damn breath away.
I hope the fire protection is good. It would be like New York MOMA burning down, but worse!
love these warehouse videos Norm. Much love from New Mexico.
Amazing, norm is a legend.
Yeah, keep them guitars out of the hands of players. It ain't the guitar, it's the player. I"ve never seen Norm play because he's not a player, he's the collector. Good for him. Great guitars all over the place and they are not rare or hard to find.
He has played with lemmo
@@TheGman70100 You mean lame oh? Never heard of lemmo. Don't need to know how to play fuckin tick tack toe to be a collector.
Amazing!!!
it's insane .... :)
Wise words Norm.
When is episode II? Love me some old teles!
The best advice no one gave me, I had to figure it out on my own a bit late.
Is this all Norm’s warehouse? I assumed he just rented some space here and had a few crates from previous videos. Appreciate the recommendation for others to invest young. I started with 7 guitars a couple years ago and have accumulated nearly 100 from buying and selling.
american made guitars will always be 'the ones' you may be surprised how much your 100 guitars are worth in 20 years. and could very well be a solid retirement fund.
Norm, the way you started this video is truly awesome. Saving and thinking about the future is what many people tend to forget in this world of instant rewards. You're the best!
The reverse tb bass looks sweet.
Liked before the video started
"This is the Kind here" - Norman Harris 02/10/21 9:47
Recall to roll the dice
Norm is bricking it, he wants to sell all his stuff incase the world ends..
Wow. Has that 59 ever even really been played? (aside from off the wall in the store it was showcased in orginally).
Wow. If you sold everything at once it might drive the global vintage guitar market down significantly.
Exactly the thing I always says “the whole vintage market collapse when he’s going to sell”
never happen. christies could auction all 2000 of norms guitars in one day and the world would still be hungry for more. it would probably create a frenzy of folks new to the game wanting in.
When he talks about stashing away the good condition guitars and stumbles it's basically because he doesn't want to say on film 'because I know they will be worth way more if I had them away for years'
Would love to see some Gibsons next time.
Those are kept in the dumpster behind the warehouse
@@MK4vDubbin that's because you don't own One 😎
@@MK4vDubbin Ha, even as a Gibson fanboy I can appreciate the humor here.
Does he sell guitars from the warehouse?
I love the appraisal on the 62 Tele from 1992 - $5500... what's that worth now?
$5500 was high for 92.
Nobody can do this nowadays....You are A LEGEND !!!! Kindest regards from France . take Care , we love you 🥰
“I just gotta say one thing. When it comes to Norms Guitars, Norms Guitars is for the children” “I just got this new suit and it costed a lot of money, but Norms Guitars is for the children”. 👐👐👐
If I Directed ‘Raiders of the lost Arc’, in the final scene I’d have them wheel the arc of the covenant into Norms warehouse, Where all the other most important treasures of the world are stored. FTB
And then Norm would open it and say "This is the Ark of the Covenant, there's a letter in there from the Lord himself, it's got the original tags too."
thank yuu....may i have anotha....episode 🙏🏼
Norm, i love this channel, i love learning the instruments and the great players that influenced those instruments. I am getting concerned that the great wealth of guitar history is being exposed and on display because their great collector has reached a point in time whereby he may be considered a 59 LP or 31 D28. Stay here, stay healthy and pass the torch on to a deserving group so we can continue to learn and have access to music history.
How about showing some Rickenbacker and Gretsch beauties? Fender Fender Fender Fender Fender....
Kinda hard to save money when your going through identity theft and have children and can't pay off your credit cards
Strange place to cope
@@bigharrykochenbauls4567 what would you do?
@@crazyuncleted5817 take a pair of scissors and cut up the credit cards
@@johnsmith-bk4ps good idea I will cancel my dentist appointment right now, and cut up my card
@@johnsmith-bk4ps seriously what would you do? everyday I think WTF. So what would you do?
I have a question. I am sure that the warehouse has excellent temperature and humidity controls. But aside from that what do you recommend for long term storage? Do you tune the instruments to an a 440 before storing them or do you tune them lower. In other words what is the best amount of tension to keep on the neck if you don't expect to play it for 10 years?
i turnem down about halfway
My approach is to keep them tuned up to pitch (440). The thinking is that this will keep the neck in the right plane, anything less would leave the neck bent for a long time in the wrong position.
Damn! How many guitars are in the warehouse? I need to make a trip to LA
I bought a surf green Jazzmaster , pre CBS....dead mint...
Norm,
What a museum collection you’ve invested in over the years, and not even the tip of the iceberg compared to what else we could only imagine that is inside of those containers. Timing is everything. 🎸
7:30.........the Ray Davies, Justin Hayward model.
Amazing vid. Hope you're well. I wish I could support. One day ;)
Norm, Some of those guitars looked fake to me... I'm gonna help you though, I'll send you my address and you ship them to me for further evaluation and I'll send 'em back when I get done. And if you've got any '58 Burst, send them also...
Hey man, I'm just trying to be helpful, anything for you!
Take care and be well!
Beautiful video, thanks for sharing!
Hangar 51 vibes
Fascinating to see so many great and/or unusual guitars when their cases are opened, but after about 5 minutes, I start aching for some sound examples.
There are lots of uploads of playing in Norm's shop, but every so often, it would be great if a few of the electrics could be taken out and shown being played through an amp.
Norm,
Looking for an es335 lefty player grade but nice! I'm in your database. bought a 2006 fender strat deluxe from Mark few years back.
It always blows my mind how well Norman remembers what's in tha box!
Can I have the cream 63 telecaster norm? Unless you don't like the 67 sunburst. I could suffer taking that one. Either or, your call.
Funny you mention this i started a serious collection around covid time and ive accumulated many guitars from $250 to $6000 ive started working on collecting amps lately i did pedals before this but i lost so much interest so fast ive learned there a blessing when used under certain conditions/circumstances but ive never really had a serious collection in the past these things i know will either bring me money on a cold day or give me fulfillment on every other day in the end they do there part these guitars take care of us as much as we take care of them its why we love them so much and cant live without more its a sickness of the healthiest kind ❤ thanks norm!
Warehouse Gibson video please
Nice Norm
I love 'em all but I can't stop thinkin' about that red Mungo Jerry Strat. Lemmo should play In The Summertime on it for the GOTD.
Can you please give me the link of that episode? Thanks
Norms the man, anyone that can buy and hold sought after goods like that for 30 years...dedication
All the Ads though sheesh!!!!!
This must be what it's like to walk through the vault at Fort Knox !! NORM RULES !!!
I hope Norm has stuff sealed away at an other location too because not....hes got all his eggs in one basket.
Who knows Norms. Can be a good financial advisor.. Thanks Norms
Sage advice ( better to be young & broke than elderly & broke ) lissen up kids .
That Jaguar water damage hurts to look at. I’ll take off of your hands if you’d like.
OMG, should case be closed on 66 Dakota Red Strat with trem arm in there?
I want to cry when i see so many F AMAZING GUitars. Really. I am from poor country and for me it is just impossible to have one of those.
Just remember..it’s always better in our dreams, so save your dreams buddy. Staying healthy is the most important factor in our lives.
@@Retro.Studio that is true...
keep trying, get a gibson melody maker, its really as good as anything, maybe change the pickup. they arent expensive and they are excellent. guitar center has one for $1500 right now. dont give up!
Respect your guitars guys and girls. they aren't just a pice of wood :)
I dream if just one cool guitar .if u get one that's trash to you I would love to buy it and cherish for life. I have a cheap electric I'm wearing out
Norm this video should be flagged as pornographic in nature
The guitars are amazing but now they’re out of the price range of most players maybe ?
if you want one bad enough you will pull it off somehow.
@@johnsmith-bk4ps retired on a pension and they don’t ship to the U.K. Josh but maybe these guitars should have been out and about for the last 30/40 years or whatever to be played rather than bought now to hang on a wall . Fair play to Joe Bonamassa for buying up vintage guitars which he does take out on the road but most people if they paid 5-10k for a guitar would be too scared to take it to a gig .
@@daviddalziel884 plenty have been out and about being played the last 30 or 40 years. this is a nice stash that will see new owners that will do with them what they want, i would play them all. keep in mind a lot of new guitars cost 5 to 10k and they get played, i have a feeling many more of these will get played than you might think, 30k is not the end of the world for a pro musician that wants to play the best. if you have limited funds find a sanded down 74 hardtail strat, you will have a great vintage guitar for peanuts, dont give up!
Since when have 'players' been able to afford anything?
What's the difference between a guitar player and 2 large pizzas? The pizzas can feed a family.
Wheres that Dakota red Jazzmaster from the thumbnail??
That 59 strat looks brand new. Amazing.
Man it’s like the Bitcoin of guitars Amazing !!
I’ve been in the this warehouse...with Norm...and I’m telling you it’s just like this. The one day we looked at at least 15 pre cbs Strats...Teles...Jazzmasters...all real..no refins and ALL IN CUSTOM COLORS....
Great message about savings early and investing early into SAFE stocks. I wish my parents would have told me that sooner.
Hey norm you tell me what inflation has done to a 1959 Les Paul
Can anyone explain how he decides what to bring into the shop to sell?
As much as i love norm and mint condition vintage instruments, these guitars are meant to be played... :(
Yeh it's a romantic notion, but I'm really pleased that these top shelf irreplaceable treasures will still be around in 200 years instead of worn out by some Muppet in a covers band.
a bunch of these will get played when they get new owners. unless its truly mint just playem
@@c.p.1589 Dude very true!
@@c.p.1589 C' mon these are tools for making music and no holy relics.
Or do you sit in front of a 50' s Strat and worship it?
@@terrycuster4213 All my guitars and amps are from the 50s and 60s. I play out with worn and repaired units and treat them carefully. Norm isn't showing beaten up repaired non original players. These are historically important cultural artefacts that have values that are much bigger than just their utility value. We need to preserve the very best examples as we do with art, technology etc. A 50s Strat deserves a place in the Smithsonian as much as anything else. Your logic would have someone leaving their Mercedes gull-wing out in the Walmart carpark while they did the shopping. We owe guys like Norm a debt of gratitude for seeing the bigger picture long before others did. If utility value is all that matters why are you so focused on something you probably can't afford anyway??? Get a Squier classic Vibe 50s and use that. Probably not a whole lot of difference as a tool in a bar band.
when i saw that p bass ...i pooped myself
I absolutely love seeing these beautiful instruments and hearing the occasional origin story. As a side, am I the only one who gets incredibly nervous watching everybody walking around with $100-200k in vintage guitars laying out on the floor though?
Yes great advice. But this is the reason quality guitars are so expensive
I was thinking the same thing.
Norm has one of the biggest stockpiles of guitars in the world. Man, I’m amazed every time they do a warehouse show. The beautiful guitars he’s acquired is nice. Out of my price range at the moment but nice.
Can you say roughly how many guitars are in the warehouse? Warehouse + store would be ?? Not asking dollar amount...just curious as to how many he has. Thanks!
after a thousand does it really matter? lol. there is at least one you would really like for yourself.
The only bad thing about this video is, it's not 400 hours long !!
Great advice Norm. Kids listen to uncle norm
WOW ! the White1962 Fender Telecaster Slab Board looks stunning .
I gotta visit your shop one of these days .
Great stories behind every purchase. I hope the young ones next to you... Lemmo and Brandon are taking notes. Thanks for sharing!
love to spend just one day looking at everything I was born in 1962 and to see a guitar that old in great condition blows me away, Thank you Norm and the crew one day I will get there.
Is this entire warehouse Norm's?? Meaning, the building and the crates.. It would be absolutely unreal if all the crates are filled with guitars..
Oh My God................. This is every guitarists paradise
Man, I own a handful of guitars and I always worry about a house fire or flooding when we leave the house unattended for any period of time.. I can't imagine the worry and burden on Norms shoulders having all those incredible instruments in one spot..
Owning all that stuff would be too stressful
very nice stuff there , good advice too..
Guess you gotta have money first to save money
I’d LOVE to have that Thunderbird! I have a modern Epiphone version with almost the exact same case except the case needs to be redone on the interior!
