Like you probably have, I’ve been playing guitar a long time. I’ve had the privilege of owning some very fine guitars. Some vintage, some custom shop and many boutique. All have helped me gain a real understanding of what makes a great guitar, great. I’ve also worked in the industry as Director of Sales for a few boutique builders which allowed me to gain first-hand insight as to what goes into the build process. Great guitars don’t happen by accident. I started RetroSound as a passion project in 2022 and built about 20 guitars for which I got awesome feedback from the players who purchased them. Another really cool thing is none of them have shown up in the used market. The players who have them seem to really like them. Life got busy over the last couple years and RetroSound found itself on hold, but always on my mind and close to my heart. As of the end of 2024, the time is right to get back to it! I’m focused on building my personal favorite style guitars. I’ve sourced some of the best materials for these builds and I’ve approached these guitars from the standpoint of quality over cost savings. Because of my unique production process, I’m able to keep these guitars priced affordably, even with top shelf components.

RetroSound will likely never get very big and that’s EXACTLY the way I want it. Stay small and build a handful of amazing guitars for players who can appreciate what we’re doing. Whether you’re a collector of boutique guitars, working professional guitar player or just need something great to take to the open blues jam at your local watering hole, your RetroSound guitar will deliver!
