Topic: Joe & Norman Harris - Confessions of a Vintage Guitar Dealer

Joe and Norm Harris, the owner of Norman's Rare Guitars, did an hour long presentation on the cruise discussing the history of various guitars and told stories relating to their various vintage acquisitions. It was quite informative and very entertaining. A must see for all Joe fans and guitar lovers. Sorry if the camera wiggles from time to time, not used to filming stationary objects, lol.

Sounds awesome...I added it to my "watch list" for later, when I have some undivided time.

I think a half a million dollar guitar sounds better that a 500 guitar wink

Oh yeah but In Joes hands the $500 guitar sounded pretty good

Re: Joe & Norman Harris - Confessions of a Vintage Guitar Dealer

I wish interesting places like that were near me. Nothing but the usual beginner type stuff.
