[@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

[@brownsfan7753]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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?

[@woodysprott5790]

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

[@snuffygrunt2842]

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

[@wesleyalan9179]

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

[@paulofreire7520]

😂😂😂

[@JDPLOWER]

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

[@barrysoetoro1543]

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

[@theflatulentfreddy1]

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

[@Johngonefishin]

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

[@derecmathewo1431]

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

[@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

[@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

[@billa7606]

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

[@ernstremer8110]

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

[@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.

[@Mega_Casual]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@ryanhurd8037]

This is incredible wow !!!

[@bio-plasmictoad5311]

This is incredible.....wow.

[@taylorfusion]

WOW!!! That was so fun! Thank you for shooting this, great editing too. All the lives those guitars touched and now they see the light of day again. Beautiful video.

[@leedavis6372]

In awe! more warehouse videos!

[@timleem3609]

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

[@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 !

[@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

[@SingSurfStrum]

Mind Blown !

[@applescruff]

Awesome Norm, thanks for sharing.

[@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.

[@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. 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@Greg-rd8qr]

Wow Awesome!! Thanks Norm!

[@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. 👍🎸☮️🌞

[@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....

[@francoispoussereau978]

Guitarist paradise ! Wouaaaaaaaw !

[@matthewanning4570]

Soooo gooood!!! 👌👌👌

[@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! 🎸💚

[@corvus5782]

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

[@dianaingram685]

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

[@wardettinger6177]

Wow what a lucky man thanks for the videos keep em coming

[@KidNato]

It belongs in a museum!

[@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.

[@georgelawrence9602]

Wow those jazz masters are to die for

[@MrErdner]

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

[@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.

[@6412mars]

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

[@joshgascon7087]

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

[@timlilly]

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

[@johnkontos]

Excellent video!

[@jeremwestfall93]

Amazing!!!

[@rongroves9620]

Norm. You are so interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing.

[@The-11]

Wow, just wow

[@ellisagutierrez9574]

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

[@alten2122]

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

[@Sword-Shield]

Thanks Norm for holding and stashing all those classic git fiddles...amazing stuff !👍

[@moritzprivat7325]

THIS IS PARADISE !!

[@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"

[@Henri-rw9gn]

Thanks so much for this time.😯

[@wildbilljr3369]

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

[@MichaelGrecoGuitar]

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

[@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

[@SuperMexiccan130]

Incredible so awesome

[@apexpredat0r175]

Waesome thanks for the knowledge. 👍🎸

[@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....

[@russclewley6945]

WOW, one word!

[@sassycat]

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

[@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.

[@ernestlocke3600]

Thanks for your ideas of Johnny Appleseeding guitars!

[@jakequenet]

Wow very impressed with norm such a smart guy real inspiring stuff

[@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

[@kevinpogue9824]

Love you Norm! I really enjoy these videos and Lemmo is great. I'm sure your already know that. Todd too!

[@alexanderdoucet2166]

[@RES1WNOR14]

[@Larry-Art179]

[@jw_au]

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

[@santi.444]

that's just awesome.

[@jonlebeau1963]

Wow just Wow

[@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 😀

[@RSimons30]

That red Strat is amazing! The blue Jaguar was sharp too.

[@TXchadTX]

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

[@wesleyalan9179]

Yeah! That ended in the late 60s

[@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)

[@musicarockful]

Simplemente impresionante!!!

[@martinandersson5833]

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

[@greggdavenport20]

Unbelievable !

[@markkennard2342]

more from the warehouse and shopping trips please ,

[@fequalsma8428]

Awesome video.

[@jamesh4966]

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

[@glassslide]

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

[@amandamammana]

This is the definition of my heaven

[@wesleyalan9179]

That's a great accomplishment, Norm!

[@plumiegirl47]

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

[@oceanhedonist265]

Unreal.

[@glennevans5824]

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

[@kengibbens5059]

Jeeeeeeeesus, wow!!!!!!

[@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!!!

[@rockhead69]

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

[@poopskipper4070]

Love u Norm!

[@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

[@robgreene1776]

Norm's stash is definitely SMOKIN' !

[@101chisco]

12:03 That’s my dream guitar wow!

[@davidbassplanc]

I am so jealous!!
