This guy is the Ollivander for guitars..!

[JInfinity]

That 59 sounded super resonant unplugged.

Norm starts talking, Paul is like...whatev I'm still playing.

[Emily-kniw]

The fact that norm let's literally anyone play these guitars just to let them experience them is amazing and speaks to his character. I live on the other side of the USA and have a enormous respect for him. When I can afford it it's mail order from norm! So glad there's guys like him that don't seem 100 bout money. He loves to see people smile!

It’s like listening to the soul of every guitarist who ever played a strat singing out.

When you played the J-45 it truly brought me to tears. Your analogy of "an old guy telling the most amazing stories" could not have been more perfect. Your joy and appreciation of what you were holding in your hands certainly helped!

Me after playing every single guitar in this store: "So, I guess I'm buying just that guitar pick today..."

[GMan-pior]

Absolutely incredible. That place should be called a museum not a store. It's comforting to know there are places and people like this still out there.

[luish]

That red one is one of the best sounding strats I've ever heard silky buttery smooth

[mikeyfontana]

5:06 Paul is trying SO HARD to resist the Slow Dancing riff lmao

[mousekill]

I’ve been having the shittiest week and just seeing you hyped to play some amazing guitars made it a little better

[JameyTiffee]

Paul in "Wonderland"! Love it and someone needs to tell Norm if no one is lining up to buy it. It's just a number written on a tag.

[zen]

I'm amazed by the fact that he picked some guitars as an "investment" and put them away. Not many people had the foresight and restraint to do that.


Also, that candy apple red strat is just beautiful.

[javiermaldonado]

64' red strat was my favorite. That guitar is a dream

[yokdeve]

The owner’s like a backing track and he just played solo on him..

[Gray]

Guy hands me a $40k guitar and starts telling its story as I slowly begin playing seven nation army

[nohabloemojislosiento]

Wasn't expecting Norman's Rare Guitars to be in a strip mall. I thought it would be in a castle on a hill or something.

[rhodriwalsh]

That candy apple strat is one of the sweetest tones I’ve heard. The Gibson following it is so nice too

[hoodedman]

That 1919 Martin in the beginning sounds amazing

[kenhurley]

When I was younger I played in a couple of bands. I just missed out by one week of buying a LP 57 $150. I still cry to this day.
