Description

In Confessions of a Vintage Guitar Dealer, Norman Harris tells how he became the world's leading seller of vintage guitars. As founder and owner of the legendary store Norman's Rare Guitars, he has sold some of the finest fretted string instruments to the biggest stars in the world, including George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and many others.

In 1970, Harris moved to Los Angeles in hopes of hitting the big time in music. His first plan was performing, but plan B was buying and selling guitars, and he had no idea how much opportunity for this there would be. Many groups came to LA also hoping to hit it big, but those who didn't might have to sell their instruments. This helped make early 1970s Los Angeles a haven for beautiful vintage guitars. At the same time, Hollywood was beginning to realize the value of time-correct instruments in film, and the recording industry recognized the high-quality sound vintage instruments produced. The value of these instruments has grown dramatically since the '70s, and the vintage guitar market has become an international phenomenon - with Norman Harris at the center of it all.

This was a fun book

This book was exactly what I expected it to be. Norm Harris telling stories about his life and his adventures as one of the premiere vintage guitar dealers in the world.

I think it's unfair for some reviews that complain it's too much about Norm self-marketing himself and his store. I mean, it's called "Confessions of a Vintage Guitar Dealer", who are folks expecting him to talk about?

It's not a buyers guide, its not a "how to get into the vintage guitar business" book. It's a memoire really, sprinkled with some great guitars mentioned along the way.

If that's what you're looking for, a nice, easy-going book, then pick this one up. If you're looking for something life changing, or something that contains very specific, technical details about guitars and what to look for when buying vintage guitars, then you should probably pickup a different book.

The narrator was excellent. Very compelling.

Overall, a pretty good book.
