NORMA HISTORY: Normas were built in Japan between 1965 to 1970 by the Tombo Company and distributed in the U.S. by Strum´N Drum, Inc. of Chicago, Illinois. The company specialized in copying Italian guitars like EKO and Goya and sold them in the U.S.A as NORMA's. The most blatant EKO copy is the SDEG 490-4, a guitar that confused the heck out of MANY. The Tombo Company is still in business, but these days they specialize in harmonica production.
This guitar will be sold on ebay soon. Check my about me page for the ebay listing.

Hi I have A norma guitar just like that but it Has EG 302-1 on it and only one gold foil pickup on it also I was wondering the value of it
I've seen that model and with 1 of the goldfoil pickups I'd estimate it at $75-100 in typical 40 year old condition.
Hi, I have a guitar that I believe is a Norma. On the back it is stamped EG305-1L NO. 410. Can you tell me anything about this? It has a single coil pickup in really good condition. On the back it also says Japan.
the very first guitar i had was a Norma. Dont remember the model# or if i ever knew it since i was 11 at the time. but i had it for a couple of years until it was stolen from in front of a nightclub(cimmaron strip)in chicago,il.
I have one very similar to this- EG 408-2T There is no "K" on the end??
what about one from 68 that is in above or better than typical condition?
I have a Ranger in super condition with a gold foil single pick up.
The pickups are worth the most.One time i saw one on Eric Claptons fender.They are great pickups
Hello, I have a Norma like that except its not the 2TK, its just 2T. Do you know its value by any chance?..
I just got the same today. Is there engraving on the pickguard as well?
