Default Retrograde Guitars

Just listened to Fretboard Journal's new interview with Glenn Nichols of Retrograde Guitars. I love the design and look of his electrics and wonder if anyone here has one?
They are definitely drool-worthy!

Yup. The Retrograde Guitars Instagram account is loaded with gorgeous instrument photos. In his podcast he related that all of his guitars are french polished with his own varnish formulation to provide that vintage look.

Those sure are beautiful, and apparently many others share that opinion. His website apologized for not being able to accept any new orders until 2023!

I've never heard of Retrograde Guitars but just googled them. From the website: (http://retrograde-guitars.com/new-gallery )

"Retrograde Guitars are handmade by Glenn Nichols in a small, one person workshop in Norfolk, Massachusetts. I am a singular builder crafting one guitar at a time. As a result of the small shop approach, each guitar is a unique, one of a kind instrument. I currently create between 15-20 guitars a year."

Wow, some beautiful guitars.
