Normandy ATGWB-CH Archtop Guitar with Bigsby, Chrome

Product Description (March 31, 2009)Key FeaturesEvery Normandy anodized archtop guitar comes fully loaded with these features -  Triple-electroplated chrome Aluminum body constructed of aircraft-grade material Warmoth hard rock maple with rosewood fretboard Tuners made by Gotoh Graphite nut made by Graphtech Normandy Humbuckers for high output, powerful midrange and tone Optional Vintage-style Bigbsby virbrato tailpiece or Gotoh Tune-O-Matic bridge Ten Reasons to Own a Normandy GuitarThe Look – From the classic arch top curves of the body, to the vintage Bigsby-vibrato tailpiece, to the distinctive rivets front and back, there is simply no other guitar like it. The Sound – The resonant, aircraft-grade aluminum body produces smooth, warm tones that ring true and long. Sustain is increased significantly when compared to that of a conventional wooden guitar body. The Feel –The Normandy weighs 8.6-pounds, which is roughly the same (or less) than most other electric guitars. It maintains perfect balance when on a strap, and is so accommodating that you may just be able to go at it all night. The Durability – This is a deceivingly solid piece of equipment.  You may be able to snap the neck, but the body will stand up to the most aggressive punk-inspired outbursts. The Neck – Our maple-on-maple and rosewood-on-maple necks are shaped close to what you would find on an old-school jazz guitar – not too fat…not too thin. The Pickups – Normandy Old School-Humbuckers with Alnico 5 magnets are overwound to 12K ohms for higher output, powerful midrange and driving tone. The Craftsmanship – Normandy Guitars are made one at a time with quality and durability as our foremost concerns; they are built to stand the test of time from one gig to the next. The Finish – The Chrome guitar is triple-electroplated, the School Bus and Army Green guitars are powder coated using a special baked-on finish and the Candy Apple Metal Flake finishes (more…)
