800 Year Old Trees
Norman guitars feature either solid cedar or spruce tops.
The wood used in these
tops can be found only in cedar and spruce trees that have an average age of about 800
years. The tight, straight grain in this wood makes it strong in the direction of the string
tension while at the same time flexible across the grain lines. It is this combination of
rigidity and flexibility that gives the top its resonance. The vibration of the guitar top is
the most crucial element of the sound.
Alcohol Lacquer
Norman guitars are finished with a special alcohol lacquer formula. This finish is
light enough to allow the wood to breathe and vibrate freely. The top's resonating capacity
actually improves as the guitar is played over an extended period of time. This gradual
improvement in the response of the top is often referred to as "aging".
Hardwood Back & Sides
Only hard reflective wood is used in the back and sides of Norman guitars. Most
models feature back and sides made using the superior technique of three layers of true
hard woods. The exception is the ST-68 which has a back and sides made from solid
rosewood.
Neck
Norman necks are made from Honduras mahogany with rosewood fingerboard and
bridge. The ST-68 model features an ebony fingerboard and bridge.
