In 2025, the village of La Patrie will celebrate its 150th anniversary. To mark this historic milestone, we’ve created an exceptional instrument: the Norman B150, a limited-edition guitar designed and crafted right in the heart of where it all began. It was in 1972 that Robert Godin built his very first guitars in La Patrie, Quebec. This small village quickly became the cradle of a unique craftsmanship, recognized far beyond our borders. Today, more than fifty years later, we pay tribute to this tradition and the passion that still drives us. The B150 embodies everything Norman stands for: a deep connection to our roots, a constant pursuit of quality, and a commitment to showcasing Quebec’s expertise around the world. Crafted from carefully selected wood drawn from a special stock that has been stored in our factories for over 30 years, this guitar stands out for its authentic character, rich tone, and understated, elegant design. Each instrument is hand-signed by Robert and Simon Godin, a testament to their personal commitment to this unique project. A cedar certificate of authenticity, shaped like a pick, accompanies each guitar, highlighting its exclusive nature. Finally, only 150 Norman B150 guitars will be produced. A vibrant tribute to a village, a family, and a passion that has endured for more than half a century.
