Normandy Gold Anodized Hardtail Archtop Electric Guitar Obsidian Review
From the classic arch top curves of the body to the distinctive "rivets" front and back, there is simply no other guitar like it. Normandy Guitars are quality made one at a time and are built to stand the test of time from one gig to the next.The Normandy maple-on-maple and rosewood-on-maple necks are shaped close to what you would find on an old-school jazz guitarnot too fat not too thin. The resonant, gold anodized aircraft-grade aluminum body produces smooth, warm tones that ring true and long. Sustain is increased significantly when compared to that of a conventional wooden guitar body. Normandy "old school" humbuckers with Alnico 5 magnets are overwound to 12K ohms for higher output, powerful midrange and driving tone.This is a deceivingly solid piece of equipment. You may be able to snap the neck, but the body will stand up to the most aggressive punk-inspired outbursts. The Normandy weighs 8.6 lb. which is roughly the same (or less) than most other electric guitars, maintains perfect balance when on a strap, and is so accommodating that you may just be able to go at it all night.The sound, the look, the feel, the durability and all of extra care taken to perfect this one-of-a-kind guitar, combined with state of the art manufacturing processes equal a guitar that you would expect to cost thousands more than it does. Custom, boutique styling and quality that every player can afford that's the best thing of all.Gold anodized aluminum body constructed of aircraft-grade materialWarmoth hard rock maple with rosewood fretboard18% nickel/silver fret wireTuners by GotohGraphite nut from GraphtechNormandy humbuckers for high output, powerful midrange and toneGotoh Tune-O-Matic bridgeIncludes custom road case
