The Oregon-based Normandy Guitars company
has taken another bold step in its entrepreneurial
venture. Founder Jim Normandy created a firstof-its-kind comic book series called Psycho Guitar
Killers, a publication from which all proceeds will
go to fund non-profits dedicated to the restoration
of music education programs in America’s public
schools and to raising awareness of the positive
impact music has on students.
“Music education programs
have eroded in many cities and
communities across the country
over the past 30 years. This is our
way of giving back and helping
support a cause that is paramount
in childhood education.”
– Jim Normandy
Two examples of music-based non-profits
that Normandy Guitar’s comic books
proceeds will support are: Guitars in the
Classroom and Rock’n’Roll Camp for
Girls. Guitars in the Classroom is a free,
national program that trains, supports and
encourages teachers who want to integrate
music-making in their lessons and school
activities. The Rock’n’Roll Camp for Girls
is a program that builds girls’ self-esteem
through music creation and performance.
Order this counter-top display filled with 25
comic books for under $50 and help keep
music programs in America’s Schools!

Re v ie w s
“...The Normandy features over-wound alnico
humbuckers that genuinely rock. No matter what
amp we used, it provided a solid tone with loads
of gain... One thing it didn’t do was feed back– we
could make it happen but it took some effort. This
is a boon for those who want to play a hollow
body guitar at solid body levels through whatever
amplification they prefer. There’s nothing subtle
about the big, bold tone. It plays well, feels solid,
weighs about the same as a LP standard and
looks truly fantastic...”
–Steve Henderson, Guitarist Australia,
November 2008
Re v ie w s
“...there are a plethora of great sounds in this
guitar, from dark, jazz tones to bright pop... but
don’t let the archtop or the Bigsby fool you; this
guitar is meant to rock... I have to tip my hat
to Jim Normandy for creating such a musical
instrument out of a material a lot of us had written off. The pickups sound warm and round,
and combined with the guitar’s spectacular
clarity, the Normandy covers a wide swath of
ground with very little effort... there’s nearly
infinite sustain: strike a chord and you can
ride it well into next week.” –Adam Moore,
Premier Guitar, January 2009
Re v ie w s
“Perhaps the most striking guitar in this cage
match, the ATG-CH... The wide, slim neck felt good in my hands... and I had a blast performing
stutters with the seemingly military grade kill switch. When you plug in, and go to the neck pickup,
you get a deep, resonant boom along with a sharp attack that almost sounds as if you layered an
ES-175 with a Tele. The combined pickup position tames the boom a bit and moves the snark
forward to produce a taut, throaty snarl. Go for a full-on bridge-pickup tone and you’ll hear a spiky,
high-midrange snap with a shimmer of a Nashville tuned acoustic... Sounds are animated and
dimensional. Overall, the USA made ATG-CH is well constructed, the chromed finish is dazzling in its
‘hall of mirrors’ majesty...” –Michael Molenda, Guitar Player Magazine, February 2009
