Hi everyone, new member here. I was walking in downtown Toronto the other day and noticed this guitar sitting in a pawn shop window. Having owned a Norman B30 acoustic for many years, I was stunned to see "Norman" printed on the headstock of this solid body electric! I had no idea Norman had ever produced anything other than acoustic guitars!
Anyway, I slapped the two hundred bucks down that they were asking and went on my merry way.
Through a couple of emails to Godin and Boucher Guitars I have learned that this guitar is a Norman E-50 made between 1984 and 1986. It has a maple body and neck. There were only 350 of these made in the mid-eighties (mine has 232 stamped on the back).
Has anyone ever come across such a beast before? It's heavier than hell, but sounds great!
Here's a link to some pics if anyone is interested
