We’re more than happy to announce our latest partnership with Glenn Nichols’ Retrograde Guitars, restoration maestro and electric guitar experimenteur! The curves of his Corralitos model are velvet smooth in hand-rubbed varnish and a dark burst, with McNelly Bliss humbuckers and wedge-adjustable bridge—and we haven’t started in on the tone yet, or the playability. Electric guitars don’t often come with such flawless fit-n-finish and appointments, but Nichols spared not one iota of attention in designing and executing this marvelously light electric to cover a wide range of musical territories.

Handmade McNelly Bliss humbuckers based on old PAFs, 1950s style wiring to maximize vintage flair, and Emerson pots for good measure. The body is finished with an oil varnish recipe originally designed for the Spruce masts of ships to maximize flexibility and durability; the neck is spirit varnished, feels warm and smooth to the touch. These choices came from Glenn’s myriad years honing his finish craft at Santa Cruz, Kenny Hill, and more recently with Bill Tippin. Spanish Cedar neck, blocking, and kerfing relieves the guitar of extra bulk (this electric weights in at a scant 5lbs 8oz), and the lively acoustic response of Nichols’ laminated Maple body translates delectably into the pickup tone. This Corralitos is your guide and constant companion for everything across the electric horizon.

I’ve known Glenn Nichols for about 15 years now. He is well-known for being one of the best finish guys in the business, and one look at this guitar and makes it easy to see he has an eye for beauty. This is an introductory guitar and as such Glenn added a lot of upgrades for free. Just look at the inlay work, including how the headstock inlay is incorporated onto the truss rod cover. The beautiful colors on this instrument from head to toe are mesmerizing. After many years working at Santa Cruz, Kenny Hill, and with Bill Tippin, it's no surprise that his instrument plays perfectly with a premium setup. This is a versatile guitar that can cover everything from rock and blues just straight up jazz. Come and get it!
