WOW!!! Warehouse Adventures with the Norman's Rare Guitars Crew!!! PART1

[@gergie4955]

Man had a plan 40 years ago and stuck to it. Very impressive 👏👏👏

[@luizspindola]

haha more like a disease!!! what a collection

[@sharpley753]

Thats like the warehouse at the end of Raiders Of The Lost Ark

[@DaveBelling]

We have top men working on it right now. TOP MEN

[@VernsHobbies]

Came here to say this

[@slimjim8736]

sharpley75 You sir read my mind imagine finding a warehouse with all types of guitars

[@briano.5746]

Almost overwhelming

[@TheDingledong4lyfe]

Norm immediately recalling specific details about each guitar is crazy. Especially if he hasn’t seen some of them in years.

[@mrtambourineman6107]

Any good 'salesman' has to be full of shit, most of his rhetoric is pure lies...e.g. everyone is his best friend etc

[@christianesposito7453]

He's so crazy lol

[@snuffygrunt2842]

Thank God Norm wasn't into "accordions".. or say.. "trombones"... Norman's Rare Piccolos...

[@wesleyAlan9179]

Hahaha,funny..."Norman's Rare glockenspiels"

[@paulofreire7520]

😂😂😂

[@brownsfan7753]

I sure appreciate Norm sharing his life’s collection with us all!

[@JDPLOWER]

Somewhere in Tennessee a leather jacket is being ruined from all the crying

[@barrysoetoro1543]

@James Meaux what a snotty thing to say... lol

[@fabulousfreddyisready]

Ahahahahahahahaha!

[@JJ-JOHNSON]

I believe your right on that one JDPLOWER. Mark is MIA in Nashville, he dug a hole that he can't seem to find he's way out of. I wonder if the crew at Norm's had heard from him.

[@jamesthe-doctor8981]

@@JJ-JOHNSON Mark has been on at least one of Norm's videos since he left. I'm sure they stay in touch.

[@adamnichols2762]

We support each other in Nashville...Mark has nothing to be worried about....shit happens...he didn't write those cards he was reading from and we all know it

[@keithrevst692]

You can tell Norms really attached to these fine guitars. It makes me appreciate what he is doing for the guitar community. Thank you Norm for sharing these treasures with us

[@edwardsperring2844]

im a 64 year old been a rocker from berth always loved the guitar but never took time to learn dont ask why but this series of norms is the best thing on the internet every time i watch it makes me want to buy im gonna learn to play just for me and norms just made my bucket list to visit and maybe purchase. love the show keep up the content

[@MrGixxer1300r]

Thank you Norm for showing us your personal stash, and sharing it with the general public. You are a true part of modern guitar culture, and you will live on in these instruments, and the memory of your store long after you are gone. I feel privileged to just watch this video I can't imagine the feeling Mike and the rest of your crew are feeling as these beautiful pieces of history come to light.

[@woodysprott5790]

Oh Norm, you killed me with the JJ Cale acquisition...😯👍👏👏👏

[@moongate31]

That guitar nearly made me weep. All that gorgeous Brazilian rosewood... If you could somehow obtain that much Brazilian today, the wood alone would set you back ten grand or so. The stuff of dreams.

[@billa7606]

Wow, that was a fantastic show & tell...thanks for sharing!

[@russclark533]

I don’t know how to feel about this. All these amazing guitars just sitting in a warehouse. All just perfect. Made to be played and just sitting in a dark crate for decades.

[@stanlee5465]

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]

Stan Lee Of course it was a great investment, I was only saying it is a bit sad seeing all these amazing instruments sitting in a vault and not being enjoyed.

[@elievans5762]

Stan Lee $300 in the S&P 500 (not cherry-picking any stock) in 1989 would be more than $6000 in 2019. So bad example?

[@joeschmoe1514]

These videos are cool to watch, but then you wonder how long these guitars have gone/will go without someone playing or making any music on them :(

[@rockhead69]

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

[@Johngonefishin]

Norm sets the bar extremely high, he collects only the finest examples in the absolute finest condition, museum pieces, Bravo !!

[@unclerudy9797]

Incredible how Norm accumulated these wonderful instruments and is now offering them to the public! Great Work Norm! Best, Uncle Rudy

[@plumiegirl47]

Guitar hunters..... warehouse style. I bet Norman knows every guitar in there too.

[@derecmathewo1431]

All those beautiful fenders just sitting in crates 😩😢 he has so many vintage fenders, it’s amazing.

[@Mega_Casual]

I'd love to have that Gibson Hummingbird! Hope to hear it demo'd by Lemmo soon! 👀 👀 😍😍😍😍

[@ernstremer8110]

That Norman is amazing in that he knows everything about every guitar in his warehouse

[@leemartin2978]

I don’t think Norm is too worried about the gas bill arriving ? These few guitars alone are worth a considerable amount . Clever investment 😀

[@timbowles6924]

A man with a vision , what a wonderful thing ! We could all learn something from Norm . Congratulations on being a Grandad by the way !

[@mountaineer_9619]

If anyone has a bigger and more complete collection than Norm I’d like to see it. Unreal. Hope he’s got that warehouse insured lol

[@secretdaisy6484]

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. 👍🎸☮️🌞

[@XLBiker13]

I am always blown away by the sheer size of the warehouse. Is it really possible that all of those crates are Norm's and each is filled with vintage guitars?? It's astounding.

[@MrStephen54]

I have been critical of Norm on some issues in the past....but....you have to raise your hat to all this...what foresight..and what love for great instruments....Bravo,,,Bravo....

[@jasonstone8587]

If I ever win the lottery the only two things I would enter into my sat navigation would be Norms Rare Guitars and the Beach.... Seams....lol....seems....

[@eternalme6077]

I'm just sitting here mouth agape, Shaking my head in Amazement, I mean My GOD Man, all those Phenomenal Instruments one after the other, and when you think it's Over, Jen pans over to Another Crate STUFFED with Incredible Guitar's...........MAMA MIA!!! LITERALLY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS worth of Guitars in there. Norm you are THE MAN! 🎸💚

[@Bowhunterwt]

But no Gibson Firebird X's. They are rare now!!

[@jackhubbard4234]

Too soon dude. Too soon...

[@dorianmoon]

Caterpillar track road worn finish is best!

[@wesleyAlan9179]

Lol,yeah

[@TheRockyhockey007]

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.

[@stefanengstrom9732]

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.

[@Old-Skull.]

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

[@timleem3609]

Just incredible! Fantastic investment and Norm's memory = total recall ! Can you believe that!

[@dianaingram685]

I am just in awe watching this video. Can't imagine actually being there in person. Unbelievable.

[@joshgascon7087]

Thank you Norm for being a caretaker of our craft. I'll be by to grab one soon!

[@J.Dove3D]

Best warehouse ever. Norman is a very industrious individual. Thanks for sharing all your great finds.

[@J.Dove3D]

P.S. love the Tal Farlow.

[@davesorrell9728]

Norm, you are the most disciplined man I know of. To hide these away for this long, is quite a statement.

[@lptomtom]

You misspelled "greedy"

[@alten2122]

Norm is the freakin’ man! So cool! That Brazilian rosewood Crest might be one of the most beautiful guitars I’ve ever seen.

[@leedavis6372]

In awe! more warehouse videos!

[@corvus5782]

Just shaking my head, OMG! And Norm is just so casual about it.

[@prospectnyc]

When Norm let moviemakers borrow the Back to the Future guitar, they let him keep the time machine.

[@MrErdner]

The red Johnny Smith with no pickups would be great for a Flat Top Friday GOTD.

[@Backcountryhunter]

GOOD FOR U NORMAN, REAL HAPPY FOR YA. THAT REALLY IS AN INCREDIBLE SITUATION YOUVE GOT ON UR HANDS THERE.ALL THE CURVEBALLS LIFE CAN THROW AT A PERSON & TO BE ABLE TO HOLD ONTO THAT IS A TRUE BLESSING. 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@ebbo51]

Unbelievable. Norm certainly knows his guitars and such a memory on where they were purchased. Norm should make a documentary, he is a guitar god. Thanks for sharing this video, what a wonderful experience. (Kev, UK)

[@codyloiselle7736]

i would pay norm an hourly fee just for the opportunity to wander the warehouse and poke around in the crates and just look at the gems stored away

[@timlilly]

It just keeps on coming out of those crates. Fabulous stuff Norm.

[@localguy8]

Now I understand why the prices of guitars are soooo high. We have hoarders that hoard these guitars making them scarce then all of a sudden guess what have we here. Anyway Norm thank you for reloading that you are getting old like everyone else n have to let stuff go. As inn telling you this I have a motorcycle my wife wants me to sell it’s in my garage haha 😂

[@templategaming275]

He sells em for too much

[@ryanhurd8037]

This is incredible wow !!!

[@ellisagutierrez9574]

That Crest is just delicious!! OMG, man!!

[@applescruff]

Awesome Norm, thanks for sharing.

[@Greg-rd8qr]

Wow Awesome!! Thanks Norm!

[@jeffreybiscoe6]

Years of watching it always amazes {not in a comment just in general} I've seen bashing of Norm on sites several times. The man had the insight to see + realize that guitars that could be bought for $500-1,800 someday would be worth a big bucks.. 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

[@wildbilljr3369]

there's a home sweet home for each and everyone of them in time.

[@bio-plasmictoad5311]

This is incredible.....wow.

[@MichaelGrecoGuitar]

these pieces are absolutely insane! need to make it to the store someday

[@glassslide]

That was INCREDIBLE!!! Good thing I watched this video alone, drooling on yourself is not a good look, lol.

[@rocnroll0065]

Norman....I would say that it's very honorable and smart that you had the sight to acquire these beautiful guitars and give a proper place to house and be the custodian of these historic instruments. Man I would tune them every night for free myself! Hope they find proper homes.

[@hoopy63]

Wait... are all of those crates loaded with guitars or is this a shared warehouse space and only come crates are norm’s? Unbe-fkn-lievable!!

[@25minutestosteph]

Following. I'm wondering the same thing!

[@hoopy63]

Makes my head spin at the thought of playing in that toy store!

[@huntermather3790]

Its a moving and storage company. I dont know the name but i worked with one for many years

Please Please Please...show more of this! Please!

It belongs in a museum!

Wow Norm,,you've been hoarding!!Amazing!!Love this channel,keep it up,I'm a huge fan,your store is on my bucket list!!

[@jamesh4966]

Amazing, that Norm knows the history of every guitar he owns.

[@matthewanning4570]

Soooo gooood!!! 👌👌👌

[@TXchadTX]

Amazing stuff Norm. I bet each one of those has a story with it.

[@wesleyAlan9179]

Yeah! That ended in the late 60s

[@jw_au]

I can not believe how many guitars Norm has tucked away!

[@rockhead69]

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.

[@brandonc2859]

I just wish i knew how many guitars norm has it drives me crazy, i wonder if he knows?? That place is like the govt warehouse at the end of Indiana jones. I'm pretty sure the holy grail is in there.

[@briano.5746]

Thank you Norm!!! I drooled all over my t-shirt. PEACE 💀👽🎸🎶🎵

[@wesleyAlan9179]

That's a great accomplishment, Norm!

[@glennevans5824]

Very nice...good idea Norm ...hey were gettin old...need to let this stuff be seen..

Wow place is huge stacked two crates high. How many guitars are in there? Looks like the biggest collection in the world

[@martinandersson5833]

Just incredible! Beyond cool. I would take a sleeping bag and spend the night going through guitars. Wow! 👍

[@fluroflash2803]

It would be interesting to hear norms thought process in deciding what he keeps in the warehouse and what he takes to the store

[@The-11]

Wow, just wow

[@ericfaley9019]

Norm probably has the elusive Gibson Modern hidden in there.

[@wesleyAlan9179]

Haha,ya' know he do

That's "Moderne". I think they tried to give it flash by using a French name. Lol

Unbelievable. I've never thought a place like this was possible ! Quoting Wavy Gravy..."We must be in heaven, man!"

[@JimmyMitchell-Lucky]

Norm, I respect your business ability! Few people know how hard it is to manage cash flow, traffic flow, expenses and man power all at one time! You sir are the guitar Icon of America!!! You are the Donald J. Trump of guitars 🎸!!! Outstanding of California that is a huge compliment!!! Thank you 🙏 for all you do for the industry!!! It scares me what you could have done for the Midnight Mission with just the spare parts off all the guitars Gibson destroyed recently!!!

[@sassycat]

Best GOTD episode ever! That red Johnny Smith... 😍♥️😍♥️

[@KRHEE]

To all the haters in the comments ... y’all r just jealous AF.... U gotta remember ... Norm is a businessman first and foremost ... he made a clever investing plan 40+ years ago... and it’s paid off ... I call it being wise and a long term planner..... major respect to norm

[@Twizzlemenizzle1]

Man, imagine being able to go to your warehouse and just pick out an L series strat in any colour any time you wanted. Norm had an amazing idea all those years ago, he's gotta go down as a legend, build a statue of him next to Hendrix and SRV. Amazing!

[@Henri-k2t]

Thanks so much for this time.😯
