    • @stanlee5465
      @stanlee5465 4 роки тому +1

      Obviously he bought them all as an investment, and could care less if they ever get played again. And if he bought those NOW vintage guitars 30 years ago, then just imagine how much most of them have appreciated... Say a $300 strat now going for $3000... Let see the stock market match those gains!

    • @russclark533
      @russclark533 4 роки тому +4

    First that J.J.Cale guitar , oh my ...
    Second, even i only can dream about having something similar to those beauties, i have to say ,thanks Norm for preserving those instruments for so long , and share it with all the guitar people around the world , thank you very much Norm , you seem such a unique person .
    And third , i notice a little bit of nostalgia ,or melancholy in your words , i wish it's only that ,and everything is fine .
    Love this videos , watching the " three amigos" at their best . Kisses Jen , bye

    it's like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, a lifetime supply of rare and vintage stuff , when I die I want to be crated and packed in here. And wow , Norm just opens the case and knows exactly what it is , vintage , color , p/u's , where he got it , when , amazing , and just look at all the unopened crates.

    Uh, WOW! I don’t collect anything but I really like the few guitars 🎸 that I have & totally appreciate looking @ all of those guitars. I saw a couple that I might be interested in. I wouldn’t mind selling what I have just to make a change or upgrade. You can’t have everything. Where would you put it? Well apparently Norm puts it in an enormous humidity & temperature controlled warehouse. Thanks for protecting all of those wonderful instruments. It’s like you have a museum where stuff is for sale. So kewl. 👍🎸☮️🌞

    • @rockhead69
      @rockhead69 4 роки тому

      True . ! Good thinking dude. But then again, if they had been out there they would probably be in unplayable condition by now, or lost....people from 2, 3 decades ago had their share of cool guitars, at least these that have been stashed away give us, in the 21 century, a chance to play really cool stuff

    I understand people who are saying these guitars should have been played instead of being put away for so many years...but then again, if they had been out there they would probably be in unplayable condition by now, or lost....people from 2, 3 decades ago had their share of cool guitars, at least these that have been stashed away give us, in the 21 century, a chance to play real cool stuff. People may say they are too expensive now...well, it took someone the balls to acquire and keep them for 20, 30 years...you deserve to make some money for all this work, don't you? Someone had to do it, and thank Norm for having done it.

Even if I can't afford one ;thanks Norm for the preservation and making them available for sale + letting me see these by u tube. A #1

    Amazing and unbelieveable. What also is amazing is that Norm seems to remeber everything about each instrument just with a quick glance at it.
    Me, I own about 40 instruments and that number has been pretty fixed during the last 20 years even though I have baught and sold quite a lot. Last summer I found a guitar in my closet I did not know I had. Sold it to a friend who developed an acute GAS for it but I still cant recall where and when I accured that one. Not even a slight trace of memory about that.
