The last bit is sweet. The adoration on both Norm and his wife's face says it all.
Les Paul house should be turned in a museum, or maybe his gear should go to the Smithsonian, its shame see it all split up, he was such an important Icon of American
culture.
Les Paul's, historic, life's work.... RIP
And Thank you!!!
I was one of the lucky guys who snagged one of the Les Paul Signature guitars and let me tell you-- It's AWESOME!!
m1garandisthebest how much was stuff going for?
Yes, I am curious about Prices
His creations will live on forever... RIP LP
Gibson gave Les lots of their prototype guitars tom experiment with, especially the Les Paul models. He was their custom shop developer when Ted McCarty was still in charge.
Norm’s wife is there to say, “don’t even THINK about it Norm!!”
@ 8:24 you can see MY 1994 Studio Lite w/ M-III Electronics hanging on the wall.. The Trans Red with a single coil in the middle with black hardware.. See Avatar.. Not too many of this RARE Beast where ever produced.. RIP Lester Polsfuss.. Gary/Hk
Awesome!!! Thank you for sharing this piece of history... incredible...
Hey Norm, great job with the presentation. I met Les Paul back in 1998 at the Iridium Club in Manhattan. Hubert Sumlin just happened to be in the audience as well. Yes! A picture, and a signed t-shirt. Les Paul, a great guy and visionary!
Thanks Norm & Jen for this great tour! Hi, Marlene! Norm is a blessed man....
WoW! Les had some guitars! It makes me sad to see his life (collection) is getting pieced out...but I'm glad to see it go out into the world...
RIP... Les Paul
oh my god...I could watch this 100 times...wow.
Thanks for sharing this experience Norm! It is a shame they didn't make a museum in full dedication of him..
i love the burst brothers watch them on youtube the thrill is gone awesome !
I would like to say Norm is the Coolest so much experience very Cool humble and funny , all the years of hard work WOW !!!
His house and home on Dearfield Road in Mahwah, should have been made a museum and National Historic Site. Dispersing all this gear is criminal. Legit, but still criminal in the moral sense. The vultures have only the vaguest clue.
I'm sure a couple buyers will keep the guitars in perfect condition forever. At least we hope so
There's something just wrong about this.
Agree with this opinion 100% why wasnt his house made into historical site, it was where he patented the most important innovations in music history, someone paid money to executor of his estate to do this shameful event monetizing history every musician knows what Lester Pollfus a.k.a Les Paul gave to the industry. It is a crime that this history in Mahwah. N.J. should have been preserved for what it is .
@@bezzarguy `Grave robbing Vultures.
I thoroughly agree why can't they make a led Paul museum! I'd gladly donate \pay good money to see that .$20 to $50 bucks to learn his history of innovation and creation ,definitely.
I just wonder, when Les was given yet another guitar for one reason or other, did he think, 'fuck, another guitar...where'm I gonna put it?'
maxwellfan55 I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if he was burning guitars in the winter to keep warm.
Happy tears coming out ...
Thank you, Norm. Super cool!!!!
You can tell Les loved playing the Custom's as they are the ones he chopped up and modded.
Thanks man. Great videos...rember the east coast guitar store in 1960s Mars Music.around Philadelphia...Maryland stores.
This was informative and nice to let the public view this.good job
More guitars, less drama.
all this jewels should have been kept in a national museum .this is a treasure this is history..i hate when the old man dies and the children sells out all his precious things.
Thank you sincerely for taking the time to tour and inform me about these wonderful instruments. I couldn't imagine life without music. Cheers!
I totally agree!
Thank you Les Paul.
Thank you for the video,Les Paul achieved so much in his life and inspired us all.Lots of love from Israel.
These things should not be divided, they should be in a museum. I understand this is part of someone's estate, but these things have a historical importance that dwindles as the collection is cannibalized
+strtofdrms
Mainly just the experimental stuff imo, which should be for everyone to see. I think the less significant and unique stuff should be sold to whoever wants to take care of them.
No they should be played. That's what they're made for.
A couple of the choice guitars belong in museums. The rest should be played. That's what Les would want. He was a player.
If I could pick one I'd have to have that nocaster! What a fantastic piece of history!
0:55 the black guy in the background on the right just staring into the camera...haha
I saw that too.. He must be the security.. I feel so secure.. HaHa!!
Definitely a Wes Anderson moment right there.
Hahaha, that was funny!
I live right around where les Paul use to live. Waukesha Wisconsin
thanks so much for posting this.
11:30 Les used that guitar in 1991 and played with Brian May. Video on YT
Amazing stuff thanks
So Cool WOW ! Where would one get one of those books in the back ground of Mr.Les Paul ?
Wow, a Nocaster given by Leo to Les. How the hell about that, eh!~
Gripnok That's the one I want. I didn't even see any Les Pauls I would want. Then again, Les didn't like humbuckers. And if I'm having single coils, it's Fender and not a P90.
The Fender and Gibson companies are competitors. But it's nice to know that the individual men Leo Fender and Les Paul were both music lovers and technical innovators, who could take some time to admire the other guy's achievements and the new tones they had each worked to create.
For me, that’s the star - a ‘51 Nocaster signed by Leo and owned by Les..? Anyone know what it went for?
unabonger777 5 years later... no LPs you would want? WHAT?..
That would have been my pick.
Very sad to see a life time of memories and accomplishments sold off in pieces.Would I want any of those items?Of course but to see them go is a little heart breaking.
Thank you for this amazing video.
Thanks for posting!
If it couldn't be done Les found a way....what a genius.
Those experimental guitars look so damn cool :-D
"Les was kind of a tinker", biggest understatement ever.
thank you for posting!
Thanks Norm!!!
Brilliant vid
Your subtitles are hilarious! Thank you!
really cute and kind gesture to introduce his wife at the end of the video
it breaks my heart that i couldnt make it there and im from his hometown!
A WONDERFUL MINI TOUR ~ CARLOS GUITARLOS 90042
A 1951 Fender Nocaster signed by and then owned by Les Paul, ummmm yeah that would be a keeper.
Les Paul was waaaaayyyy ahead of his time
Norm and the Schnozz Brothers there to pick the bones of Les Paul... by the way, how big was Les Paul's house? 5 semi trucks full of stuff, they said. The Nocaster is the only one I want. Les didn't like humbuckers, notice they all have some weird pickups...
Killer auction
how much did that leo fender tele gift to les paul go for? lol thats like the holy grail 12:20
Most of Norman's videos are Les Paul's. I wonder if they are his favourite or if they are just the shops top seller.
Thank you I'm from the Uk and due to a drugs charge can't get an ESTA otherwise I'd have visited Juliens to bid on some of Slashes stuff and visit Norms. Bummer!
"Les Paul was kind-of-a tinker" the understatement of this century! LOL
I look at that white guitar with the huge trapezoid shaped pickups and I'm wondering, how does it sound, can i plug it in to find out?
Norm, be honest did you have that too?
If I won the powerball, I would def go to that auction.
Wonder if there's a video of the auction?There would be if i was there....
1st LP to the top left....maple fretboard? You don't see that everyday. Beautiful!
callyharley . Thanx, just checked them out. I like that they still use a mahogany Neck.
I see Gibson made some rare maple fretted LPs in '78-'79.
callyharley . Agreed! Maple looks better on white or natural. No gloss? Definitely changes the sound capabilities. And different is always rare when vintage applies. I have an old Ibanez 2398 Custom-natural with flamed maple top (without Logo) catalog model or? Gloss maple neck and fretboard. It is capable of more telecaster like tones when I split coil. Definitely brighter in tone and resonance than my Gibsons. The neck is responsible for much of the tone as well as most of the playability IMO.
I do remember Gibson had to use "baked" maple instead of rosewood due to an import issue.
It was called the "Raw Power" Model, They made Les Paul's & SG's in that series, I've played one, It sounds different too, More woody tone than a LP with rosewood or ebony?
4:03 Adam Nimoy (son of Leonard Nimoy) over Norm's shoulder.
04:19 Me dreaming that I am sneaking in and grab couple of them 3 I guess....After hours I am home and I look at them, I am so proud!!! I hoped that I could grab the black one too but the heck I am the boss and I look at them again on the stands!
thank you so much for sharing this norm...
does anyone know if "The Log" will be an item up for auction? that would be a huge item to score, if so!
I wonder: How many of those guitars in Les's collection were 1959s? (or 58/59/60?)
It looks like there are at least 10 'bursts hanging there.
Guitars start at 3:20
Does anyone know the model of the acoustic that is next to the epiphone frontier in minute 8:42 ?
So what was the Final Money count at the end of the Auction?
at :54 seconds what is the ladies name on the far right, i know her from somewhere. Thanks
5:32 - is that all Fostex gear?
so fucking cool
Norms known everyone since they were a kid
Lol
Interesting that the guitar given to Les from Eddie VH (4:45) has a headstock that looks like an Ernie Ball. Christ, how many millions of dollars is in that room?
hahaha, the end part
These are the guys from Guitar Center aka Norm's main rivals! =)
Damn I wish I just had that gibson j45.im not greedy
Cheers dave \m/
I think people need to quit trying to come up with the perfect guitar -Leo and Les have already done it.-Tele-Strat and les paul/jr./sg/335
Someone tell Ace that Les received the first guitar of every model.
I'm guessing that "The Log" is in a museum somewhere & not for sale. Smithsonian or the like?
2:35 “The Thomas Ederson”
Did Les have a 59 Les Paul? If so, what did it sell for?
actually he hated that guitar
You're really nice to your wife.
this should have been made into a les paul museum not sold to the highest bidder.Would have loved to walk around that place. Sad to see it all split up.
I wonder if Paul Allen bought anything from this, RIP Paul Allen
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh! *o*
Read the quote.
I seen a earlier episode where norm said that joe bona was the best at knowing how well and real rare guitars are worth???? so I ask who is the best NORM??? explain!! please
I would have keep them Pauls
None of that should be sold it should be put in a museum and not split up...why are people so greedy?
Sharky it should be played. Not in a glass case. That's ridiculous
😄😄
So who got all the money from the auction???
The wild part about this auction is that Les most likely didn’t pay a single dollar for 99% of the guitars auctioned. Pure profit.
Little advise if your making a video where there is lots of ambient noise. Wear a mic!
Kyle Hammond Little more "advice" is that you spelled advice wrong.
@@sweetswing1 and umm, 'you are', 😉
@Blackbeardschef My feeling excatly so sad :-(
The only thing I don't like about the Les Paul guitar is they are very badly balanced. You can't sit and play them like a regular guitar, they are way to butt heavy. You have to either play them like Les does, between your knees or standing up with a very wide guitar strap.
That guy in the background hahaha
