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 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.
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.
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......
😍🤩😍. 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.
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.
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
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......

2:37 OMG, I picture myself with that guitar, just after 4:20, playing "Southern Cross" (probably badly). ❤ 3:30 i'd take that one, too... 11:20 NOBODY SAW NUTTIN', SHEEE?!? 11:34 Nah, the R-tailpiece is way cooler, IMO. Thanks, Uncle Norm!
You guys should make a tshirt “ I Spent my vacation at Norm’s”. Get it 😄
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
Man thanks for sharing these hauls, just something we would never experience if you didn't share it with the world, bless you Norm.
Thanks to Norman and Team from Hamburg Germany
The sound of those cases opening😍😍😍 hallelujah!
Disenchanted collector: all the good stuff is long gone...
Norm: hold my beer...
More like “Hold my secret warehouse.”

Norm is a legend ! Thanks from England for another great video .
Would love to see a playing demo of the Zemaitis.
That blue sparcle L5 is completely off the hook...
Indeed it is
Ridiculous
That Brunswick Blue L5 !!!!
I love these kinds of videos! Keep them coming whenever you guys buy some new guitars!
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.
We need Michael to play them All because he not working hard enough.
That red Les Paul is gorgeous
I have that same model
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!✌

Norm you rock! Love the charity you are involved in. Dig the knowledge you share. Thank you sir.
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.
Always enjoy these videos 🎸
I bet it is really cool to work for Norm.
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!🤣
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.
If I ever visit Norm's, pretty sure I'd stand in the middle of the store and just weep like a little girl.
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.
How cool is this! Thank you for sharing your collection 👍💖🎸

Always love these videos and Norm seems like such a great guy.
absolutely beautiful. that martin - oh man.
Some beauty’s!! If I’m ever rich , im shopping there!!
😍🤩😍.
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 ...???
Love that tele acoustic one.. wish I could afford it
im into seeing them all
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.
Thanks for another edition of norm and his trained seals
I've just bought a Taylor Solidbody Custom Koa. Has Norman RG ever reviewed a Taylor Solidbody guitar?
Cool stuff, as always. Y’all need to spring for some folding tables… 🤓🎸
nice stuff there Norm.. thanks .
My lord. That purple sparkle GIbson is killer!!!!
Once again.... GREAT STUFF!
These guys have the best job in the world
That purple one looks like something i saw mike zito play. Damn nice guitar.
Love that CSN's Martin!
looking fit Norm
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
Blue sparkle L5 is magnificent.
Ronnie Wood played a Zemeitus right?
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?
That L5 is so cool!
Right on, Norm! You beast!
How can we buy guitars from Norm's? do you have Norm's customn picks?
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.

Nothing like the sound of a Leslie......
Is that the $25k Zemaitis happily spinning around at the right of the frame?
Just how affordable is that zemitas .... It's beautiful ...
I didn’t see ya at the Dallas show 🤷♂️
People always get butthurt about referrers but imo they play much better with bigger modern frets
Thanks Norm!!
Does Norm know where everything is in the warehouse, or is it all just piled in there? I'm just curious...
Amazing guitars!
Futuristic Knobs... Best band name ever.
God, I miss spending days at Norms.
Norm rocking the man bag!
Every guitar in the shop is “Really Cool”
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 .
55 Fender Start ! ALSO the L5
I’m a Gibson guy but man that strat sounds amazing
Strat is Fender…
@@zackcordle4814 Yeah I know
@@markrosenquist8259 oh I read that wrong I thought you said weren’t a Gibson guy lol my bad!!
@@zackcordle4814 No worries at all
Norm out of his mind ! Yeah thats what we want !

You guys rock ! Love L . A .

the l5 🤩
Another great job by the great guys at MORMS!!!
Norm is Awesome.
Shots fired 🤯
Norm is at it again....... hooray.......
Howard Roberts and the dove for me. Way more value in acoustic guitars.
What's prices on 55 & 56 hardtails??
@@teemlee51
It makes watching so much more interesting & informative, to see that part. We're all fascinated
Yee-haw ⚡⚡⚡
that L5 screams cool jazz any other style played on it would be a crime
7:45 whoa dude slow down on the case opening and closing'
that made in japan bass is so nice and i dont even play bass
Agreed! I do. Thinking about giving Nick a call.
2:37 OMG, I picture myself with that guitar, just after 4:20, playing "Southern Cross" (probably badly). ❤
3:30 i'd take that one, too...
11:20 NOBODY SAW NUTTIN', SHEEE?!?
11:34 Nah, the R-tailpiece is way cooler, IMO.
Thanks, Uncle Norm!
Everyone's idea of 'affordable " differs !!
Nice Man Purse Norman.
Little bear in the house
Ok...now I really am concerned about Norm!
Where is the LEFTIES?
I happened to find my artwork is on the wall when I checking out this video! Thank you SO MUCH for hanging it at Noman's Rare Guitars ! 🎸🎨
Wish I had the money to buy a guitar.. Don't even own an electric.
Hey Norm can we download your freaking brain bro because you're getting old man and I don't want to lose you dude?
All these guitars, thanks to millions made over the years and millions of players who gave up and put them under the bed...
Buying a guitar is difficult rn. Thanks to guy's like you, they're even harder to find. Definitely not impressed due to that.
Keep Bonomassa away from that hard tail! 😅
and rhe 330 omg
I have that shirt lmao
Somebody needs to oil that fan...
