I think you forgot the Jackson V with fucking skulls

[@breakandrun70]

Mike & Nick were really getting it on with those penguins, they were in the groove. Really well done guys. I never miss guitar of the day, they just seem to get better & better. Just think if they practised. Barry M Nova Scotia, Canada

That is by far the most realistic looking relic i have ever seen.

[@wanderingsurf2842]

Sort of accurate. The first Fender relics that came out were amazing. What has been coming out by them recently are terrible.

[@etau]

Wandering Surf yeah, for me it’s the necks on them that messes it up.

[@kellyc2425]

Yeah. Looks like it was perfectly dragged from the back of a truck then had rocks thrown at it. What a stupid fucking idea for posers.

[@freddaniel5099]

So much talent! Nice guitars too. Thanks guys. Stay cool!

[@zacharykarras6027]

That was just people genuinely enjoying the magic of playing guitar together, and it brought a huge smile to my face. Thanks for the amazing demo!

[@douggoransson5179]

Is Nick playing the "Last Time" riff wrong? No, he's playing it his way. And that's very cool.

[@jvejar]

Gretsches are my favorite !!! Penguins in particular and blue is my favorite color.Thank You !!!

[@greg7656]

Seriously, is there anything that can lift one's spirits faster than the opening riff of I Feel Fine? Pure genius. Well, maybe Day Tripper, but i think i'd have to go with I Feel Fine

[@abdulkhaliq1226]

Strike of the Platypussies? LMAO. In heaven listening to the two Gretsch's. I'm mixed about relicing. I spend a lot of time making sure my old guitars stay looking as close to new as possible.

[@ArtDonna84]

Fantastic gentlemen, thanks for taking me back to my youth and making me go pick up my Penguin and start playing some tunes!

[@stevehornshaw4478]

Great Beatles/Stones jam of songs they don't know. Big thnx Norm for getting those great guitars and letting the boys loose on them. Best reality TV possible

[@marklownox]

Great job Nick and Michael!

[@RubbelisPro]

Really good relicing on that one! Super cool.

[@kellyc2425]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 You're kidding, right?

[@TheRockyhockey007]

I luv the Gretsch sound , it is so unique and so classic , perfect for those 60's classic songs , and so cool looking , the blue is really nice but the white is also pretty , and that sound , the clicky clacky twang, great demo by the platypusses Nick really knows his stuff and of course lemmo can play anything , another great time at Norms , thanks guys.

[@LindaCrescent]

Awesome! Love The Platypuses. Great Aussie name too! I can see the names, The Platypuses and Edibles At Night, in lights at Rod Laver Arena. Time to plan the Australian tour.

Nice Penguin you got there! Awesome job Lemmo! However! Gotta do a Maton!

[@heathworsley8347]

Not my most favorite guitar of the day because it did not focus on the one guitar however the smiling happy energy between those three with Jen catching it all on film was really quite nice thank you lady and gentleman!

[@krazwellfishman9158]

"They don't know how to play together yet"??? Really? Sounded better than most to me, Norm. Nice work boys!

[@kinsleykhoo48]

Wow oh wow - i started loving guitars with the typical les paul standard and grew to love the Fender Tele broadcaster/no caster but wow that relic'd blue Gretsch is just so beautiful man...as always top notch playing!

That's a purty one! In fact, both are. I never really cared about owning a Gretsch, but I would take either of those. Penguin? Who knew?

[@cherylnicowski3006]

No it's the green lizard laces on the sneakers are almost too cool, but I like the guitar and the players are great !!! Keep rocking out!!

[@KENNGODD1]

You guys are the best 😁🤙

[@XLBiker13]

Typically not a huge fan of relic guitars but that one is way too cool not to want. LOVE that guitar!! Actually I think its lust.

[@eternalme6077]

Not really a Gretch fan but Man oh Man I'm Totally IN LOVE with these Guitar's!!! To bad Baby Blue is relic It would have been nice if it was honest wear or Brand spanking new, nonetheless she's a Beauty! I'm really digging that white one Nick is playing as well.....also Thank you Jen for pointing out that Beautiful Gold Trim that Lemmo had missed, Jen, you make Norms Rare Guitars GREAT! 🎸💚

[@canucklehead0]

That great Gretsch sound, as brought to you by the sonic stylings of the, what's the name? Really!? Ok, Ladies and gentlemen the Platapussies!! A really fine GOTD, great playing from Mr. Lemmo and Mr. Dias but, those lovely Gretsch penguins steal the show and that baby blue bird is even cuter than Jen's "okay, okay"!!

[@cralo5431]

This looks like a guitar I would gift to the princess of the castle.. there’s something very “your majesty” about the way this guitar looks to me lol

[@logopneumatika]

1:35 - pretty sure Lemmo gets the switches backwards.

[@montag4516]

Yep, pickup selector is closest to the neck, tone selector is closest to the bridge.

[@AndrewCapobianco2014]

The sign at Guitar Center in The PICK of DESTINY should have read No Day Tripper! On Top of No Stairway!

[@chrisperry132]

I always wanted a gretch cos they look tidy and well made. Probably cant afford this one though

[@demoleramera]

I own a Gretsch Electromatic based on the 6120 and I can't recommend it enough. Haven't played a cheaper, entry level-Streamliner yet but from what I've heard they're absolutely worth the money as well

[@chiphancock6353]
