From the classic arch top curves of the body, to the vintage Bigsby®-style vibrato tailpiece, to the distinctive “rivets” front and back, there is simply no other guitar like it.

Schoolbus– the pigment used in the construction of this model is precisely that used in buses, tractors, and bulldozers!  But beyond its color, this model also reminds us of its namesake because of the sheet metal body and the prominent rivets that make it a Normandy.  The combination of this blazing yellow-orange hue with it’s massive amounts of chrome hardware look incredible!

The powder coated finishes on our guitars are applied using a special “baked-on” finish that is electro-statically bonded to the guitar bodies. The resulting finish is extremely durable and far superior to the standard paint, stain, or varnish typically found on guitars.
