I purchased a B20 about 10 years ago. I play both electric and acoustic, and I tell you this because, everytime I go into a guitar shop I spend practically no time in the acoustic room. 99% of the stuff in there sounds no better than my NORMAN. And, the stuff that does is in the 2K area and is not that much better.
Trust me, I have owned a ton of cheap guitars and have never thought a Epiphone was as good as a Gibson, or a Squire as good as a Fender. I have always been willing to pay top dollar to go the extra mile. My Norman is as good as acoustic guitar as I have played. Very durable too (survived college with me and my liver).
In other words my acoustic needs are more than meet. I have played with other guitar players playing Martins, and Gibsons and the Norman is just as good. I am tickled with the guitar.
Does anyone famous play Normans?
