Both are from Norman and are made in Canada (another Godin acoustic company, like Seagull, Simon & Patrick, LaPatrie). Solid cedar tops, lam wild cherry back and sides, satin lacquer finish. As resonant and toneful as any lacquered Seagull, but at $290/each, w/HSC, delivered! IMHO, currently the best buy in an acoustic - better than the Seagull S6+, but Normans can be a bit hard to find in the US.

BTW, the materials, build and craftsmanship on both of these gems is top shelf all the way. The only mod I've hadda make was lowering the saddles about 1/16" (the neck angles are *perfect* and each will allow an action that could be as low as any Gibson LP if nbeed be - but why? :cool: ), and I've already added a K&K Pure Western mini system to the 12 string, with another on the way for the 6 string. I dunno how the heck they do it, but the goods and value from Robert Godin keeps amazing me.

I just had the K&K Pure Western mini system put in my Guild D-6HG and I am super pleased with the sound! Most natural sounding transducer I've found...
