Case out of the shipping box, guitar out of the case, a few tweaks of the tuning keys, and it is amazing. The feel, the sound, the esthetics, the attention to detail; holding it puts it all into perspective and can be summed up in one word, quality! With or without an amp the sound(s) are unbelievable, from the low E to the high E and everything between it is amazing. The tone(s) are consistent, precise, rich, etc., from the initial strike of a string all the way through the trailing note the sound just brings a smile to ones face.
It has been less than a day from when it was delivered and just a couple hours of messing around with the guitar, however, it is apparently flawless, the neck is as smooth as glass, the balance is spot on, the hardware - works of art, as a matter of fact the whole package is a work of art, an engineering marvel! The attention to detail, fret bars smooth and shaped on the ends, strings that run symmetrically down the complete neck correctly spaced and consistent, the overall fit and finish convey pride in craftsmanship (made in the USA). Needless to say, if you haven't already figured it out, I am impressed. [...]
I will share more when I have more time, and time w/the guitar.

Normandy ATGHT-CH Archtop Guitar, Chrome Review

These days there are plenty of great guitars out there, but in my honest opinion, the Normandy's are in a class all of their own. The quality and craftsmanship are top notch, but what really sets these guitars apart from the rest is the ultra sweet tone of expertly designed aluminum bodies. The first time I heard one I was absolutely floored! To play one is nothing short of pure bliss, and they come in Chrome! Way beyond cool. You're wife will definitely be jealous.

Not quite as mellow-sounding as most hollowbodies, this guitar has more of a Les Paul growl, with a huge booming bassy sound at the neck pickup, and shimmery, twangy highs at the bridge. Maybe there's just a little resonator-like twang in there? I'm not sure if I'm imagining it, if there is, it's subtle. The aluminum is lightweight-- this guitar weighs about the same as my telecaster, and is cold to the touch, at first, but has a nice satiny feel that doesn't show fingerprints-- which is why I chose an anodized over the chrome finish, I hate seeing fingerprints on my guitars, and am unable to prevent them from occuring. The neck is slick and fast, and the factory set-up was ok. There was no relief set in the neck, so the strings were buzzing at the low frets. A little truss-rod adjustment fixed that problem right up.
I like unusual guitars, which is why I originally bought this, because it was metal, but I'm just blown away by the sound. Absolutely fantastic, I'm not trading this baby for anything.
Definitely a great, unique guitar that is equal to any in it's price range-- but make sure to get a professional setup done on it as soon as you get it!
