keeno Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Nice of him to give potential burglars a tour of the more expensive instruments!On a more serious note I hope the real shop isn't as crowded as that movie. I wouldn't like to see what the domino effect looks like with vintage guitars and given how tightly they are packed with narrow walkways it seems a very real possibility.

Flights Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Maybe I'm just being paranoid but surely its incredibly daft to keep all those guitars together in one small shop. A fire there would destroy lots of musical history and lots of lovely guitars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fire there would destroy lots of musical history and lots of lovely guitars.I have been in the shop which is located in a row of ordinary shops on Ventura Highway, not far from the Burbank TV studios where the Jay Leno show etc is made. The shop is quite small and it is very crowded. It operates a "locked door" policy.Many hard up musicians sell sell old guitars to this shop.This is a link to the business and it is worth checking it out just to see the gallery of photos that shows just a flock of famous visitors.It does also sell "ordinary" guitars as well and had a "less than 400 dollars" area when I was there.http://www.normansrareguitars.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeno Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Some of the prices are crazy. Admittedly finding something like this is probably like finding hen's teeth.... but $325000? Small change!http://www.normansrareguitars.com/gibson-1960-les-paul-standard-original-hang-tags-and-case.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaneur Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Some of those 40s and 50s lap steels are little MOTS works of art. The more so, if you can't play slide:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
