    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

    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!

    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 is right about collecting at a young age. I started to collect antique radios from the 20's, 30's, and 40's about 40 years ago with about 200 in all. In the last year I've been slowly letting some of them go to get a return on my investment and it's paid off big time. So I can understand Norm's advice, it's a retirement plan of sorts. Perhaps one day, I'll sell off enough to purchase a Gibson SJ-200 from Norm. Thanks Norm for the great advise and amazing guitars!

    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.

    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.
