Retrograde Guitars’ Glenn Nichols builds instruments inspired by the catalog guitars of the 1940’s and 50’s. In episode 63 of the podcast, he tells us how he’s reinventing laminated ceilings and treating them as acoustically tunable panels. He also shares how after graduating with an art degree, he worked for Santa Cruz guitar and luthiers Kenny Hill and Bill Tippin. We also talk about the spirit varnish he uses on all of his guitars, his wood choices and more.
