Talking MY FIRST NGD!!! (with pictures, of course! :D)

EDIT 2: Nothing is working for me.. This is what it looks like, but its from google, so it's not actually mine



YAY!!!!

I would like to thank you all for taking part in my silly threads for the last couple of days as I started searching for my first guitar (Been playing on my fathers old guitar for the past 3 years) and today I bought it, after finding it, struggling with the price, and ultimately using the haggling skills I obtained from YOUR! advice, to get a good price, 3 sets of Elixir strings, a hard-case and an extra year's warranty :-)

I went with the only guitar in that store that spoke to me:

It's a Norman B20 HG 40th Anniversary (Burst) and it sounds almost devastatingly good :-) Especially after the setup and the string change. Couldn't be happier that I bought this one instead of some of the other ones I looked at. The Gibson J-35 I played sounded incredibly dull compared to this one :-)!!!

Hope you like it as much as I do Normans are pretty cheap in the US so if you guys get the chance you should give one of these a go. You might find one that sounds just as good as mine, as that is a real treat for the ears :-)

EDIT: Couldn't get the images to show up in the thread :-( Hope that doesn't wreck your interest

Hi Marc,
The pics won't open for me, but it sounds as if you picked a winner. I've played a couple of Normans and have been impressed with the sound and playability.
