Gerry Tolman was CSN road manger/tour manager. I believe this model Martin was made in his honor after he passed. He was beloved... ...in 1992, we saw CSN at Coca~Cola Starlake Amp in Burgettstown, PA. Our vehicle was suddenly struck from behind by another driver. Our station wagon spun around and into the road divider on the grass. After everyone got out and was accounted for, Gerry Tolman arrived from a few vehicles back and asked if everyone was okay and if there was anything he & the band could do to help. We thanked him and he said "My name's Gerry, thank you all for coming and I am very sorry about the accident, thank goodness everyone is okay!" He walked away. He was also wearing a CSN laminated pass and had a clipboard of some sort in his hands. Gerry died in 2006, in a car wreck in L.A. God bless him!
The '76 natural Firebird has to be my fave since I've had mine since '83. She was just a good used Gibson then. She's much more than that now. Pretty sure Norm paid more for his than I did. It was 1983 dollars though? Still worth every penny!!!;D There's just something about the tone and feel of a solid piece of lumber head-to-tail that has tuners to bridge attached that's very special.
All Amazing. And that Gibson LS in the Sparkly Midnight Blue with the Purple Lined Case and Silk Cover looked like Count Dracula laying in his coffin. Ha! If I bought that I would name it The Count.
😍🤩😍. BTW, Did I just see the :- A) Dave Grohl diamond holes before there was a Dave Grohl guitar, B) the Fender acoustic Tele before there was an Acoustasonic, C) and the Rick Beato signature Gibson DC LPJ in TV Yellow with TOM ...???
Inverness Green, Ocean Turquoise, Sherwood Green... all subtly different, and it’s worse if the finish has yellowed because then you’ll have to pop off the pickguard to find the original color again.
Guitars are like a drug . I was up to owning 22 of them . I finally managed to downsize to 16. Still trying to cut down on the habit . Maybe my son will have to be the sales person with the rest when i pass on.
Make sure you put the receipts in the guitar cases you don’t want him getting a bad deal from a shady guitar shop/dealer . Same I am down to 16 as well LOL
Ok....the stars & stripes Les Paul...how much? Just give me an amount, any amount will be fine. I kinda need to own that. Just re-name the channel GuitarHub.

All players are collectors but not all collectors are players! Something about the Howard Roberts guitar just checks all my boxes. Whenever I find myself needing a little boost I come to Norm's channel and I'm restored.
Wow - that blue sparkle (looks purple, like something Prince would have owned) L5 was amazing looking. I always say 'play them' when I see vintage guitars, but that one might have to just go up in a display.
I used to work for a guy who had a bottle in the drawer of his desk and would hit it every so often during the day.....very famous designer in NYC.......the good old Days......
See the Hammond and the Leslie in the background-hope someone cranks it up from time to time and they aren’t just being used as tables or shelves......
Disenchanted collector: all the good stuff is long gone...
Norm: hold my beer...
More like “Hold my secret warehouse.”
That purple L5 looks like it would fit a certain danish guitar player who is working for a english music store...
pro tip : watch series on InstaFlixxer. Been using them for watching lots of of movies these days.
@Westley Carmelo Definitely, been watching on instaflixxer for years myself :)
@Westley Carmelo Yup, I've been watching on InstaFlixxer for years myself :)
@@milesbrycen6328 ok but who is the danish player ?
@@khgear7160 mr Danish pete from andertons
You guys should make a tshirt “ I Spent my vacation at Norm’s”. Get it 😄
That blue sparcle L5 is completely off the hook...
Indeed it is
Ridiculous
The sound of those cases opening😍😍😍 hallelujah!
Man thanks for sharing these hauls, just something we would never experience if you didn't share it with the world, bless you Norm.
Norm is a legend ! Thanks from England for another great video .
There will never be an end to the amount of guitars I have to have ... thanks for the "drool-a-thon", guys ... another great payload!!
🤟same here! Rock on!✌
We need Michael to play them All because he not working hard enough.
If I ever visit Norm's, pretty sure I'd stand in the middle of the store and just weep like a little girl.
Would love to see a playing demo of the Zemaitis.
That Brunswick Blue L5 !!!!

It's amazing that Norm knows what every guitar is even before the cases are opened . . .
You would too if it was your money paying for them. You’d better know anyway.
Thanks for another edition of norm and his trained seals
Always love these videos and Norm seems like such a great guy.
I love these kinds of videos! Keep them coming whenever you guys buy some new guitars!
That red Les Paul is gorgeous
I have that same model
Some beauty’s!! If I’m ever rich , im shopping there!!
im into seeing them all

Thanks to Norman and Team from Hamburg Germany
Once again.... GREAT STUFF!
I bet it is really cool to work for Norm.
Always enjoy these videos 🎸
Thanks Norm!!
All these guitars, thanks to millions made over the years and millions of players who gave up and put them under the bed...
Ha that's old school Norm. Metal flake , that was the paint job on the cars in the 70's when i grew up . Now they call it metallic
Norm you rock! Love the charity you are involved in. Dig the knowledge you share. Thank you sir.
I love you Jen. Big time. Would YOU marry ME? No, but it don't change facts. I love YOU babe. Could use a new pic. PEACE.
Futuristic Knobs... Best band name ever.
I've just bought a Taylor Solidbody Custom Koa. Has Norman RG ever reviewed a Taylor Solidbody guitar?
Norm is the absolute best in the business. Have you ever seen a more genuine person? Great crew too. I miss Mark being in the videos.
Hey Norm can we download your freaking brain bro because you're getting old man and I don't want to lose you dude?
Blue sparkle L5 is magnificent.
😍🤩😍.
BTW, Did I just see the :-
A) Dave Grohl diamond holes before there was a Dave Grohl guitar,
B) the Fender acoustic Tele before there was an Acoustasonic,
C) and the Rick Beato signature Gibson DC LPJ in TV Yellow with TOM ...???
How can we buy guitars from Norm's? do you have Norm's customn picks?
Amazing guitars!
Norm out of his mind ! Yeah thats what we want !
Is that the $25k Zemaitis happily spinning around at the right of the frame?
Cool stuff, as always. Y’all need to spring for some folding tables… 🤓🎸
That purple one looks like something i saw mike zito play. Damn nice guitar.
Inverness Green, Ocean Turquoise, Sherwood Green... all subtly different, and it’s worse if the finish has yellowed because then you’ll have to pop off the pickguard to find the original color again.
I'm pretty sure that's Sherwood tho.
Norm is the most fortunate man on earth. A guitar king among men. What I could do with all those guitars....
"What i could do with all those guitars?"
...probably the same thing Norm's doing,lol!🤣
looking fit Norm
Wish I had the money to buy a guitar.. Don't even own an electric.
Norm is Awesome.
Finally covered up the guitarded sign. Guess it had to happen at some point
I’m sure some sensitive in California would be offended by it. Not a great place to be at the moment with the exception of Norman’s guitar shop .
How many guitars does this guy need to fill his warehouse? What a greedy waste.

Another great job by the great guys at MORMS!!!

Ronnie Wood played a Zemeitus right?

Keep Bonomassa away from that hard tail! 😅

7:45 whoa dude slow down on the case opening and closing'
wonder where these new guitars are made......
Little bear in the house
Does Norm know where everything is in the warehouse, or is it all just piled in there? I'm just curious...
These guys have the best job in the world
I didn’t see ya at the Dallas show 🤷♂️
That L5 is so cool!
nice stuff there Norm.. thanks .
Question: When Norm's starts running low on guitars, why doesn't he dip in to the warehouse? Or are those off limits for now?
Howard Roberts and the dove for me. Way more value in acoustic guitars.
Somebody needs to oil that fan...
God, I miss spending days at Norms.
My lord. That purple sparkle GIbson is killer!!!!
Just how affordable is that zemitas .... It's beautiful ...
How cool is this! Thank you for sharing your collection 👍💖🎸
the l5 🤩
that L5 screams cool jazz any other style played on it would be a crime
Nice Man Purse Norman.
Yee-haw ⚡⚡⚡
Norm!!! ⚓️
Jesus is the real king.
667th like!😁👍
I have that shirt lmao
Every guitar in the shop is “Really Cool”
Love that tele acoustic one.. wish I could afford it
See the Hammond and the Leslie in the background-hope someone cranks it up from time to time and they aren’t just being used as tables or shelves......
Nothing like the sound of a Leslie......
Ok...now I really am concerned about Norm!
Right on, Norm! You beast!
absolutely beautiful. that martin - oh man.
Everyone's idea of 'affordable " differs !!
Love that CSN's Martin!
