    That's about the best 8-minute history review of a guitar that you are ever going to see, and this guy is a true gear-head. Great vid and thanks for posting.

      Didn't mention P90s on the 330

      This is why Gibson asked him to join them. His knowledge, personality, professionality, salesmanship, guitar skills and management skills. He has done a lot for the brand since joining. Go get ‘em M.A.!

    Back when I was a kid in 64' I begged mom for a 335 and with a lot of sacrafice xmas came and there was my guitar. Like most kids I lost interest and there it sat. My brother picked it up and ran with it. And to this day still has it. Now that I'm retired and interested in playing again I don't have the heart to ask for it. So I bought my own. Maybe someday he'll swing by and fall in love with my new one. I doubt it very much, good for him, for sticking with it. It's in the family and that's all that count, luv u mom.

    I NEVER put a guitar into a case and not fully latch it closed. Ive seen a friend do that and then pick up the case a few minutes later. Needless to say the guitar crashed to the floor. I always check the latches prior to picking up a case.... you never know when somebody forgot rule #1.

    • @bobaldo2339
      @bobaldo2339 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I never do either. On the other hand, one of my guitars, nicely enclosed in a fully latched hard case, did slide out of the back of the pickup truck one winter night - fortunately on a dirt road.

    • @lbj46
      @lbj46 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      i totally agree i wanted to get a335 but after comparing them i went with the epi (korean) dot.iv'e had mine for 15 years and it is truly a great sounding and playing ax. i have a bunch of guitars (i'm single) as many as 35 at one point but when it came to archtops i always reached for the dot, great sustain too...

  • @jamesreaves5534
    @jamesreaves5534 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    They are all beautiful if you ask me and every one of them out of my price range. I often wonder how Norman ends up with so many Mint Condition old guitars. I never see beat up guitars in any of the videos. I know if they are in mint condition they probably fetch Mint Condition money as well. I'm sure he has to pay a good amount to to get them, but I I know he sells them for more than he pays for them otherwise he couldn't stay in business. Guitars to me are more than just a musical instrument they are beautiful works of art and stand orn that Merit alone. The Vox amp he shows in the video is a piece of artwork to me as well.

    I saw a Gibson semi hollow with a plate with a number at the joint of the neck and body.the guitar weight seemed heavy to me when I picked it up.It had block inlays at the fret and at the top where the strings are attached can someone tell me from what year this guitar is, I am thinking it is a newer guitar because of the plate at the body and neck joint.Thank you

  • @pharmerdavid5803
    @pharmerdavid5803 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    That didn't sound bad at all Norm! I imagine being surrounded by great guitarists every day can be intimidating, but you sounded good. We love the videos and interviews with all the greats that come through, and the guitar videos too - thanks for all that. I came in to your store once on my birthday with my dad when I was a teenager (100 years ago), and my (cheap) father asked to see the least expensive steel string acoustics you had, but even the least expensive (a Gibson) was too much for him, so unfortunately we weren't there long. I ended-up getting an inexpensive used Sigma D-18 copy somewhere, but it had a solid top and was a pretty good box. I'm a shy player too, but you aren't bad at all, so don't worry about it and play-on bro...!

  • @TheSok66
    @TheSok66 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very surprised he doesn't mention that after '62 or so, most 335s have an open center block under the bridge pickup, like the 345/355, instead of the solid center block used previously. This was a production rationalization so Gibson only had to make one basic body. The opening is to allow the assembly of the VAritone on 345/355. Makes a HUGE difference in tone. Gibson makes some '59 reissues with a solid center block, some with the open block. A true '59-'62 spec replica won't have the open block.

    What year did Gibson go back to stoptail on the 335? I am lusting over a 1973 walnut and it is trapeze... wasn't sure if it was meant as a reissue or if that's how they were all built that year...

  • @kierenmoore3236
    @kierenmoore3236 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    5:44 ... Splitting humbuckers and coil-tapping are two different things though, right ... ?
    You don't need to coil-tap to turn humbuckers into single coils ... just split them ...
    Coil tapping reduces the output of a single coil.

    • @phillipholt6005
      @phillipholt6005 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I wanted the 335 but it was bulky. After research I bought the Epiphone 339. Being smaller and arch top it sounds and plays great. I very seldom use coil tapping. I haven't got that far in 7 years. It's sound is versatile.
