ENCORE B20 Un Successo Infinito
Il modello B20 è quello più popolare nella serie Norman. La B20 rappresenta le fondamenta delle chitarre Norman. Il top in abete massello e la laccatura da soli distinguono questa chitarra. I tre stati di Ciliegio Laminato usati per le fasce ed il fondo producono un tono che suona più brillante di una chitarra in mogano. Questo tipo di tono è adatto per le registrazioni e si migliora quando amplificato sul palco. La finitura può essere laquer gloss, ovvero una verniciatura lucida che mette in risalto la timbrica dell’abete oppure “high gloss” una laccatura speciale fatta con 8 mani di lacca che sono applicate sullo strumento. E’ un processo di lavorazione che impiega 8 giorni per essere portato a termine.
Il modello B20 viene prodotto in versione Cutaway (CW) ovvero spalla mancante, 12 corde, mancina (left hand) e Folk. Il corpo della chitarra B20folk è derivato dallo stile della chitarra classica. Il corpo più piccolo tende ad enfatizzare le frequenze medie che fanno di questo modello una scelta eccellente per chi volesse suonare in “fingerstyle” o semplicemente per chi volesse suonare in maniera più comoda. Tutte le versioni possono essere elettrificate con preamplificatore FISHMAN Prefix PRO a 4 bande.

The B20 is the foundation of all the Norman guitars. The solid spruce top and lacquer finish alone distinguish this guitar. The three-layer laminate of cherry wood used in the back and sides of the B20 produces a tone that sounds warmer than maple but brighter than a mahogany guitar. The B20’s tone works beautifully for recording and blends nicely when amplified on stage.

Solid Tops and Lacquer Finishes
The sound of an acoustic guitar depends on the vibration of the guitar’s top. Solid tops are made from a very select grade of spruce or cedar harvested from trees more than 600 years old. The tight, straight grain in these woods makes them exceptionally strong in the direction of the grain and therefore able to withstand the string tension. At the same time, these handpicked tops are very flexible across the grain, which allows them to vibrate. A solid top instrument will produce richer sound, more harmonics, and better dynamic range. Virtually every aspect of the sound of a solid top guitar will be superior to that of a similar instrument with a laminated (plywood) top.

Equally important to the selection of the guitar’s top is the material used to finish it. The thick polyester finishes typically found in all but the most expensive guitars negates all of the potential benefit of a solid top instrument. This is why we spend several days applying a very special lacquer finish to every Norman guitar. This special finish encourages maximum vibration and therefore, excellent sound. Perhaps even more compelling than the great sound of a solid top guitar with a lacquer finish is its capacity to get even better sounding. This is called ageing. The best violins are generally instruments that date back more than a hundred years because these instruments have aged and have become even better sounding over time. The same phenomena exists in solid top guitars. But unlike the great violins, you will not have to wait several decades to hear your guitar at its best. The ageing process in your acoustic guitar begins as soon as you start playing.

Precision Neck Attachment
The angle of a guitar’s neck attachment—often called ‘neck pitch’— plays a crucial role in the instrument’s tone. Simply put, if the neck is too far back the guitar will lose its bass and sound tinny. On the other hand, if the neck angle is too far forward the guitar will lose its high frequency and sound muddy. The Norman neck attachment system ensures consistent neck pitch. It also produces the added bonus of superior neck/body energy transfer because the neck is attached to the body wood-to-wood. There is no glue or finish to impede the vibration between the heel of the neck and the guitar’s body.

Back & Sides
The body of an acoustic guitar works in a way similar to a speaker box. In this case the solidtop serves as the speaker and the back and sides play the part of speaker cabinet. The back and sides of Norman guitars are made from a three-part hardwood lamination. This special lamination retains all of the properties of superior tonewoods and provides a solid foundation for the top. Other standard features on all Norman guitars include: high-ratio sealed tuning machines, real wood rosettes, double-action truss rods, custom Tusq nuts, fully compensated saddles, and a limited lifetime warranty.

The village of La Patrie, Quebec is the home of Norman guitars. La Patrie was settled in 1875 and many of today’s Norman employees can trace their ancestry back to the original settlers. The courage and survival of these pioneers is amazing considering the daunting combination of dense forests, mountains and incredibly harsh winters. We pay tribute to these brave folks here. You’ll see actual pictures of early La Patrie, many of them dating back as far as the early 1900’s. It’s a heritage of which we are proud and which has produced a community of hard-working people dedicated to the craft of guitar making.

The first Norman guitars were produced in the early 1970’s. In the last thirty years, Norman’s reputation for superb quality and excellent value has grown in a grassroots, word-of-mouth kind of way amongst musicians which has earned Norman guitars the distinction of ‘Canada’s guitar’. This quiet, testimonial type of marketing has made it possible for us to invest back into the guitars themselves, creating one of the most technically sophisticated guitar building facilities in the world. Our state-of-the-art technology enables us to bring precision and consistency to our guitar crafting heritage which uses premium tonewoods to create truly world class guitars that carry the Norman name.
