Why Ed Roman Likes The Normandy Guitar

1,  The Sound – These guitars have a distinctive sound of their own, Personally I look for guitars that look & sound different from the same old standard. This guitar falls into the same distinctive sound category of Rickenbacker, Dan Electro, Mosrite, Burns, & Veleno. 

2,  Compared to it closest competitor - The more expensive Veleno the Normandy wins hands down on Tone, Sustain, Playability, & Styling. The Veleno is lighter but Normandy is working on that at this time.

3.  Appearance –  Nothing is better looking than bright reflective surfaces on stage. Especially when the performer wears dark clothing.

4. The Feel – The Normandy weighs just slightly less than many other electric guitars, The balance is excellent and the neck is smooth & fast.

5. The Durability – 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.

6. Electronics – Normandy utilizes Aluminum Nickel Cobalt magnets that are overwound to 12K ohms for higher output, stronger mids & great distinctive tone.

7. Hand Built – I especially like that Normandy® Guitars are made one at a time by hand and they durability on the road is awesome. In the video they drove a truck over the body and it withstood the pressure just fine.

8. The Finish – The Chrome is triple-electroplated,   The Candy Apple Metal Flake finishes are far superior to the standard paint, stain, or varnish typically found on guitars. Whatever the color, the appearance will outshine that of any guitar you’ve ever seen.

9. Lifetime Warranty – Normandy offers a warranty against defective materials and workmanship for the life of the guitar*. That being said, you may rest assured that every one of their instruments will play its very best right out of the box.

10. Summation – The sound, the look, the feel, the durability and all of extra care taken to perfect this one of a kind guitar, combined with their  state of the art manufacturing processes equal a guitar that you would expect to cost thousands more than it does.

Custom, boutique styling & quality thats more affordable than many other boutique guitars.
