“#NormanHarris’s career as a #guitar dealer went stratospheric one day in 1973, when he received a phone call from a friend. “He said he was with someone who needed a #LesPaul,” recalls the man who runs what is probably the world’s most famous guitar shop.”

…

“located on a strip mall in the #Tarzana neighbourhood of #LosAngeles, alongside a McDonald’s and a nail bar. It would be easy to blink and miss #NormansRareGuitars,”

What?… a documentary on Norm and Norms Rare Guitars
