Jim Normandy makes aluminum archtop guitars and basses by hand in Salem, Oregon. Normandy Guitars was founded in 2007. Normandy was previously a professional bass player and the first Normandy instruments were basses, but they soon added 6-string guitars to the line-up. The Normandy arcthop guitars pay homage to the classic Gibson and Gretschs design but there is also a telecaster style Normandy Alumicaster model.
