Another masterpiece from the incredibly talented Glenn Nichols.

Glenn Nichol's Cambridge is the model that made us immediately want to work with him and represent his brand.

For those new to Glenn's work, let's quickly get you up to speed - Glenn was the finish department foreman at Santa Cruz guitars; was in charge of French Polish restorations for renowned classical guitar maker Kenny Hill; worked closely with Bill Tippin; and currently works in our repair department doing vintage restorations. In other words, Glenn knows a thing or two about exceptional instruments, what makes them tick, and how to build (and finish) them.

The Cambridge is a very lightweight, balanced instrument with really inspiring tones and playability. It sounds like an old, perfectly seasoned guitar with a gorgeous acoustic voice. Seriously, you could play it happily for extended periods of time before ever thinking of plugging it in.

The finish work is truly outstanding, which is no surprise given Glenn's background. He utilizes a spirit varnish along with french polishing techniques to achieve the look and feel he's after. It's really something that has to be experienced in person to truly appreciate, but it's masterfully executed to be sure.

Once plugged in, that same airy, open acoustic voice combines with the chime and output of a great goldfoil pickup, courtesy of Glenn's own in-house wound pickups.

Woods, pickups, finish, specs....all that stuff aside, at the end of the day, the real question with any instrument comes down to - Do I want to play this? Does it inspire me? To use familiar language, does it have a vibe...mojo? The answer in this case is, unquestionably, yes.
