Working at The Music Emporium is a dream gig for guitar nerds like us. We get hands-on with some of the finest instruments out there - acoustic and electric, vintage and boutique - but the best part is meeting the builders behind them, especially when they’re bringing something fresh to the scene.
Case in point: Boston-area luthier Glenn Nichols of Retrograde Guitars.
While Retrograde Guitars may be a new name to some, Glenn’s resume speaks volumes. He led the finish department at Santa Cruz Guitars, performed French polish restorations for renowned classical builder Kenny Hill, and currently works alongside Bill Tippin, one of the finest acoustic builders in the world.
If you love vintage-inspired student model guitars and catalog-style instruments, but want something that’s light-years ahead in tone, feel, and craftsmanship, Retrograde belongs on your radar.
