Normandy ATGWB-OB Archtop Guitar with Bigsby, Anodized, Obsidian

Case out of the shipping box, guitar out of the case, a few tweaks of the tuning keys, and it is amazing. The feel, the sound, the esthetics, the attention to detail; holding it puts it all into perspective and can be summed up in one word, quality! With or without an amp the sound(s) are unbelievable, from the low E to the high E and everything between it is amazing. The tone(s) are consistent, precise, rich, etc., from the initial strike of a string all the way through the trailing note the sound just brings a smile to ones face.It has been less than a day from when it was delivered and just a couple hours of messing around with the guitar, however, it is apparently flawless, the neck is as smooth as glass, the balance is spot on, the hardware - works of art, as a matter of fact the whole package is a work of art, an engineering marvel! The attention to detail, fret bars smooth and shaped on the ends, strings that run symmetrically down the complete neck correctly spaced and consistent, the overall fit and finish convey pride in craftsmanship (made in the USA). Needless to say, if you haven't already figured it out, I am impressed. [...]I will share more when I have more time, and time w/the guitar.

I just purchased a custom archtop from Normandy Guitars and what I received was a perfectly beautiful piece of art that sounds amazing. I have an iceman which sounds like a baby compared to this. The customer service I received was top notch. I highly recommend anyone to try a Normandy Guitar. It'll rock your world. Go Normandy Guitars ;-)
