Two years ago I had the opportunity to visit Norms shop. Not wanting to bankrupt myself, I only brought half my life savings with me in cash as we all know cash is king. What he has on display is nothing short of legendary. I was trying to control myself and shop for the best deal I could get on something truly awesome I could cherish forever. It took all the cash I had with me which was half of my retirement account, but I finally found the dream I could afford. I walked out of there smiling ear to ear and a skip in my step with not one...but TWO Fender medium heavy tortoise shell colored picks. It was a life changing experience I will never forget and my Grandchildren can pass them down to their kids as well.

@NautilusGuitars Жыл бұрын

As a guitar builder, I totally understand that, but at the same time, I'm glad these examples do exist. Because, otherwise, we'd have none. Well over 90% of vintage guitars have been well played. It's extremely rare to find them in pristine condition like this, so these people serve a vital historical purpose. Manufacturers didn't keep perfect records back then, so these examples offer a lot of knowledge. Things like the production time and structure, like Norman touched on, hardware types, circuit variations, original unfaded colors, etc. These are museum pieces that are an important part of the historical record. All that said, what I wouldn't do to hear or even play one of these... But good lord would it scare me to even touch one. One bad pick stroke would add more wear in 1/100th of a second than it has seen over its entire 70 years.

Title is FIRST EVER - then the immediate comment he makes is "well one of them maybe..." Nice click bait.

At first I'm like, "Man, the skin on Norm's fingers looks gnarly," Then I realized he's wearing gloves. Duh.

Norm- years ago at Rumble Seat Music in Ithaca, NY I played a 1951 Tele neck date April 1951. It had a Tele decal. Also had the blend control with no real tone control. Best sounding Tele I have ever played. Went back to buy it the next day for $10,000 and it had already been shipped to Nashville:)
