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.

Maybe, but the really “significant” ones always seem to have been bought by those guys (or “a really close friend”) before this channel even gets to know about them. My bet is that Norm’s price on this one may be too high even for Joe and John. Or...Joe uploaded a video to Instagram about a ‘58 ‘burst named “PJ” that he just recently bought. It may be that he needs to play a few more shows to gather the money for this one.

Around 1980, Noman came to my house early one morning to look at guitars I had for sale. I had about 50 vintage at the time. He was ruthless & no deals were made. I know there are some incredible guitar forgers out there. Some of them go as far as using period correct woods, dated parts etc. I am curious if Norm has ever bought any without knowing it was a forged guitar?

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.

He said possibly the first telecaster. The name telecaster on the guitar. As he stated before earlier series numbers the name broadcaster was cut off and they just use the Fender logo which gave them the nickname of no caster. Later they added the word telecaster and this might be one of the first few hundred guitars that got the telecaster logo.

Old guitars are meant to be played, but I hope that whoever gets that Tele preserves it. It’s our history.

Not really. Not everything old is history. It's a mass produced Wal-Mart of the fifties guitar.

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:)

Hasn't this already been proven to be incorrect? The Tele in question was aged by it's serial number only which is inaccurate. Still cool though.

Correct. Fender basically massed produced the bridge plates and all were stamped in a chronological order. The techs grabbed a plate and popped it on to the guitar. I’ve got an 88 tele but the bridge plate is stamped 84. The date for mine is on the neck in the join. Still....nice guitar.

so....clickbait. You don't know it's the first one. In the video you say "one of the first, if not the first", the description says "one of the first", so your web person thought "that's not going to bring the clicks, I'll stretch the truth a bit". Just let it be "one of the first", it's a sweet guitar, most people coming to watch want it, don't go lying about it.
