A guy I work with has a Norman and he loves it. I played one at L&McQ and like what I heard as well. I found some really great sounding guitars made by Norman, A&L, Seagull and Garrison when I was shopping around, but I also found some duds.

Sneakypete is right about having a buddy along to play the guitar as well. You should close your eyes and pick the one that sounds the best to you, without being influenced by the name on the headstock or the price tag.
