Handmade in Canada, Robert Godin's first line of guitars. These Norman acoustics are awesome quality. For the pricepoint they are the best, that's why I bought this one many years ago. My grandfather recently gifted me with his old guitar, so I don't need this one anymore. It's got some scuffs from regular play so it's a scruffy guitar. Holds tune better than any other acoustic I've played, the sound is great and it comes with an LR Baggs m1a pickup for amplification. Give me a shout if you have any questions
