Keith Nelson from Buckcherry Trades Prototype at Norman's Rare Guitars

Keith Nelson from the band Buckcherry stops by #NormansRareGuitars and trades The Prototype of his Les Paul model to Norm. This guitar was the model that was based on Keith's 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard. Prototypes are worth having to any collector, and this is a very special guitar. What do you guys think?

These videos are always awkward to watch.

Everyone who is famous is norms good friend unless you're joe bonamassa then you're his relative.

[@TheRustedShackleford]

I'm sure Bonamassa has paid his rent quite a few times 😆

[@tasosdiaforetico7377]

That was funny, great guitars though

[@sb1806]

Never met Norm, but I still feel like we're friends.

[@calsurflance5598]

He is very friendly and usually greats everyone when they come into the store. I was looking at a 335. He sat me down on the couch, plugged the guitar into a Fender Twin, brought me a pick and sat down in a chair next to me and listened. And he always has some great story! Fun person to be around!!

[@AdamTrupish]

That guy has written some great underrated riffs. Love buckcherry

[@lmarchuleta]

Miss him since he left the band not the same

[@MrStranger1944]

lol I never would have guessed that Gibson would be that cheap when it comes to labeling prototypes.

[@judemisura4323]

awesome. Love Keith and Buckcherry

[@vintagepipesnightmares]

This guy always talks a lot and plays very little. But when he does play he only knows this lick. This guys can’t play anything buy themselves. But somehow they make it as guitarists.

[@charlesrocks]

Is this guitar still for sale?

[@robertjohnson192]

Ok but what did he trade for

[@bezzarguy]

Why is he selling it? I always wonder if they need the money.

[@modelcitizen1977]

Mr. G. Because he's trading it for guitars he doesn't already own the original one of.

[@robpace881]

Imagine getting to buy this guitar.. holy sheet

[@fmbighair]

Very tasty playing and tone actually.

[@martywilkinson6722]

Great band!

[@onefatstratcat]

Now that's what I call a crazy bitch of a deal! :)

[@andym28]

Awkward shakes

[@jon.wilson]

Andy M always

[@stevehogan8829]

Thanks Norm and Keith. Another great guitar.... That's gotta be a great shop... do you guys run all the hang arounders out of there. I'd be noodling on that couch waiting for Joe or one of the other players to come strolling in.

[@john564holloway]

What was it traded for?

[@paulsimmons5726]

That guitar looked cool but more importantly, it's a smooth player after the number of gigs it's been through. That'd be a great guitar to own because it's already broken in.

[@bailey12444]

I want it to really see some playing too bad didn’t happen

[@maxpuppy96]

Proto means $$$$$$$$

[@plstrom]

sounds great !

[@kruse8888]

Personally I like my guitars well done.

[@niptodstan]

What did he swap for?

[@MrMastrsushi]

"Gave it some love all over the world"

[@Barmeester]

Off topic: did the Bonamassa prototype sell? For what amount? Just curious.

[@too8448]

it did yes for 6k

[@Barmeester]

Thanks!

[@bmwf1joel]

Barmeester so this should be less? $4k

[@dtp056]

sounds like gibson will do a copy of anyones guitar, who the fuck is that dude haha

[@TommyEVOLUTION]

Buckcherry are pretty famous lol

[@scottyd2262]

[@GarryFullerSr]

[@grandnaguszek7417]

[@philb5945]
