Norman Harris Has Bob Dylan's Guitar?! McCartney's 1964 Hofner Bass, 1955 Stratocaster and MORE!

I wonder if the E, A side of the pickup on that first 58 precision should be rotated around. The raised pole pieces should go under the A string, not the E.

so lets get this straight.... Bob Dylan asked for a guitar, needs it customized for his liking.... gets the guitar he needs and plays it... after the show, he wants to buy it... you say no because he played it?.. thats pretty shitty... if i was Bob, i would never call your store again... he didnt get the guitar so someone could profit or collect it.. to Bob its a work tool.... other musicians in the circle should take note, dont get i guitar here and play it onstage, cause if you like it, you cant buy it... wow.

Prices?

The dents and gonks from Normans rings are free of charge.

Jimi Hendrix played my Harley benton strat last week does it make it worth anything let bob buy the guitar instead of making money out of the mans fame it's like bribery and corruption you got not enough money norm

Well,it's not actually McCartney's bass,as claimed !!

Bob Dylan's guitar , just like Kris kristofferson's guitar, Never Been In Tune

Norm has evolved into a treasure of information. That’s far beyond a wealth of information👍🏻

He didn't want to sell to Bob Dylan true business man right there got to respect that,im sure it takes a bit of balls to say no to some these guys.

Dylans latest album, “Rough and Rowdy Ways “ is a masterpiece. Just incredible 🔥

Wow. Brings back memories🇺🇸❤👍

I just Love guitars 🎸💛❤💘

I'm like a kid in a candy store 🍬

זו לא גיטרת הבס של מקרטני , זו גיטרה ימנית ופול שמאלי

The pickups surrounds, tailpiece and control panel dates the bass on 1965 or late, no 1964. Cheers.

Am I missing something or that Hofner is not ‘64 but normal 1966 transition version?

Think about this. How much money in guitars has Norm handled?

..gosh , guitars are *#*# beautiful ....so addicting .

Loved the P Bass !!!

The Hofner looks like a 65/66 to me. Paul’s was a 63!

I’d pay the fire Cheif to walk through my store once a week just to make me feel better if I owned this place. Norm is definitely one of the coolest people on the planet. I’ll be looking for something special if my crypto goes high enough.

Probably what's wrong with the finish is you tapping your ring against it scratching it

DUDE,,,, This Hofner is a right-hander. Wasn't McCartney left handed 🤔?

Fantastic guitars !! I love the hofner bass ! Interesting to see the hard tail Strat … I didn’t realise they manufactured those , Very cool .

Nice hofner! From my knowledge, I think that’s either a ‘65 or maybe a ‘66. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Gear is soo cool. I love the sound of case latches popping open!

That is definitely not a 64 Hofner lol. That’s a 66 or 67 with the ugly raised logo and big plastic pickup things

I love the expression "Honest wear" as opposed to "relic" that I hate. I guess it's something that comes with age.

That Hofner bass is a '65

Looks like the switches on the Hofner have been changed?

Norm's Rare Guitars is like a pawn shop, it's not a charity. In buying and selling the rules are buy as low as possible, hold on for the highest return. This is what they call business. It's not about feelings, it's about maximum return at the right time.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

When I was in Germany in 72. ,hofners we're all over for about a hundred bucks. My buddy was a jazz/flemenco pro. And said" Know why it's a hundred bucks? That's all it's worth,Get a fender bass and I'll show you how to play it. He was ordering a Gibson Byrdland I believe through the PX

Still wish I bought one or two at that price

Paul had a 61 and has a 63. That is a 66 hofner

A "Bob dylan played" guitar. give me a fucking break. anything to raise the price, if im not mistaken.

kinda weird to customize a guitar to dylan's specs, rent it to him, then refuse to sell it to him because by playing it he made it worth more. if it was me, I wouldn't do business with you again.

Norm didn't want to sell it to Bob because he knew if he was to sell it later, he could gouge the shit out of some poor sap.

Imagine the total value of all the stuff in that room.

You can still call the call in Oates phone number for free haul and Oates tunes (norms shirt) also. Very very cool guitars norm!!

Norm, what’s your thoughts on the Guild X-700 ?

Won’t sell it to Bob Dylan because Bob Dylan made it famous??? Never gonna understand sales people. Freaking Jackyls.

That's definitely a 1965 Hofner Bass

paul macaerney didant have a 64 it was a 63..i know as i have a late 63 with pot codes sep 63,,paul got his in oct 63 pauls or mine does not have a razed logo thats a 64 thing

I have a 64 Hofner violin bass, the pickup surround is different to the one shown. mine is much narrower.

And what's with the six screws over and below the switches on the plate. very odd I think.
