Norman B50

Made in canada, 1999. 21 frets, with a solid spruce top. Comes with Fishman Prefix pick-up, 3 way (bass, contour, treble) and frequency selector. Lacquer finish on body is excellent, the wood looks darn great. Pick-up plate finally other than black (amber/red). Neck is a satin-smooth finish, perfect size and your hand glides real nice. Brand new strings, tuned once and never reworked them in 4 days, and played a lot, so the tuners seem great.

It suits exactly my music style of acoustic & finger picking, (a la Michael Hedges). It sounds strong and full, with all the strings giving out as strongly as all the others. All the sounds come out equally as strong, wether on a low or a high string. Using D'addario lights. The sound is something like bright, with a strong, rich and full push to project. In the store, I've tried 1500$ Martins, Takamines, etc. I always came back to this one. Best acoustic sound money can buy, in my opinion. The pickup is clean, and does ample justice to the natural acoustics of the guitar.

The top is perfectly adjusted, the string height is well balanced over the fretboead and basically has no flaws I can see. Neck is satin finish, with no flaws.

With its sound and pickup, this guitar was made to perform and be heard. I take good care of my guitars, and this one should last me many years if not for life. Theneck seems rock-solid with the hardware I see inside. I keep it in the case whenever I'm not playing, though it will have do live through some gigs and outside weather conditions sometimes. I would definitely use it without a backup (except for a battery for the pickup).

Been playing for 15 years, also have a Lys (bye bye Lys...) from the same neck of the woods (Lapatrie, Quebec). Electric Ricky (model 480). I just bought it, and had ample time to shop, so I would buy another one tomorrow if it were lost or stolen.

It's an acoustic, so it doesn't have any fancy schmancy features. solid cedar top, 21 frets, natural high gloss finish. Made in Canada by the same company as Seagulls and Godins

Well, it doesn't really suit my musical style, which is more electric type stuff, but it is an awesome sounding acoustic, especially for the price. It has a very rich and full sound, which is cool.

Well, everything is great. Only problem was a tiny unnoticeable blob of varnish on the front, at the "bottom" of the guitar(if it was standing up) but that's why i got a good price on it. I don't know what kind of tuners it has, but once the strings are stretched out, it stays in tune well. I only give it an 8 because of the varnish thing

all the stuff is pretty durable, except that I'm too rough with it, and i forgot to put the humidifier in it for almost a week, and it got a crack in the top, which isn't a big deal for me. And there are a bunch of scratches on it from me picking like a madman,and other places from getting banged around too roughly

Never dealt with the company, but it has a 2 year warranty i believe. Also, i emailed Godin for a catalog (same company) and got it within a week. I plan to buy an electric soon, I'm gonna get a Godin LG

I compared it to some other acoustics, and this was it for the money I could spend (mes parents payed half) If it were stolen (how would I lose it) I probably wouldn't be able to find another one, but I would just buy a Godin LG and forget about it
