Oh shoot thats a lot of hits for an old dude to take.
Hoping he gets well and keeps being a steward to the old guitars we all love.

A nice guy who feeds the homeless. Lovely work from a wealthy man who gets up early to serve food. Hope he recovers fully and is well for many more years to come.

I have never been to the store or met him, but I have seen him online and in videos innumerable times - he seems like a genuinely enthusiastic, friendly and entertaining guy. Sending postive vibes his way, and hopefully many more years (videos and guitars) ahead.
Hopefully one day I'll be able to buy that LP Custom I've always wanted in his store!

Here's to a speedy recovery Norm!
If I were a man of means, I would gladly make a trip to
his store for an exciting purchase.

A great positive guy, been such an influence on Guitar History
Man I've never heard of the type of cancer he has, I'm going to read up on it.

Met him once at the store in Tarzana. He was quite a character. Best wishes Norm for a speedy recovery!
Oh man.... I'm so sorry to hear this. I've always wanted to visit his shop but have never got the chance. Norm is a pioneer collector/dealer of guitars and amps and had the vision to recognize that business early on, while most of the rest of us didn't have a clue. The only other person I can think of off hand who had this same vision is George Gruhn. Norm is responsible for discovering a lot of hidden gems of talent as well, having an excellent ear for good quality with the right connections to propel that talent, for the rest of us to enjoy. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Norm, and keep the strength! Rootin' for ya man!
Any news?

Most welcome, I edited it with the full IG post... forgot the forum parsed those correctly.
I hope he’s “back in the saddle” soon!

I used to live in the San Fernando Valley and frequented Norman’s Rare Guitars in Tarzana (also his first tiny store in Reseda). He tried to sell me a ‘51 Esquire once - I was flattered that he thought I had a lot more money than I actually had. I did buy a ‘79 Strat. Great guy, great store! Be well, Norm.
