One of the most famous guitars designed by Don Grosh and manufactured by Grosh Guitars is the Retro Classic. This line of guitars includes the Retro Classic, the Retro Classic T, the Retro Classic Vintage T, the Retro Classic Hollow T, and the Retro Classic Standard. Each bring the level of the classic California style guitar up to the next level, and they all produce some amazing sounds. The Retro Classics line is known as one of the best line of vintage guitars produced, and they create some amazing tones. Like all of the Grosh guitars, the Retro Classics are made from only the finest materials available.
All of the Grosh Guitar Retro Classics are perfectly balanced and feature new, refined ergonomic designs. They are created from Tap Tone matched old growth woods that look amazing, and there are many different finishes, tones, and options for you to choose from. All of the guitars have top fret access and can produce very complex acoustic tones. They are made out of master grade swamp ash and alder, and the finishes are all done using ultra-thin nitro cellulose lacquer. To give them that great vintage look, a special technique is applied to the fret dressing and fingerboards to give it a broken in, worn look. Read more
Looking for a great custom relic guitar? Then check out Rock N’ Roll Relics! Billy, the owner, hand-builds every relic guitar he sells. He uses bodies that are locally hand cut, then adds in reissued Fender hardware and gives the guitar an amazing nitro finish. The end result is a high-quality guitar that looks like it’s been around for years! While he does create some relics to sell at local guitar shops, he will also hand-build a guitar to your specifications. He will find the pickups, neck, and more that you want.
Billy has been playing rock and roll for more than 25 years, so he knows what players want. He was actually part of Jetboy, a rock band formed in 1983. Although the band broke up for some time, they have recently re-formed and are working on a new album. He also worked as a guitar tech for Chris Isaak during the late 90s. It was during this time that he started buying and selling vintage guitars. Eventually, he decided to build his own instead of simply restoring damaged relics.
Recently, Billy has been building a large number of relics to meet growing customer demand and to keep dealers stocked with instruments. He has built two guitars for James Hetfield of Metallica: a Les Paul re-fin and a 52 b-bender Tele reissue. He’s also done two custom builds and a refin for Stevie D. of Buckcherry. Country star Keith Urban hand picked one of Billy’s Jazzbastards from one of the dealers who stocks Rock N’ Roll Relics instruments.
Many of Billy’s relic guitars can be found on the Rock N’ Roll Relics website, which is currently undergoing a re-design so that it will be viewable on iPhones and iPads. If you’re interested in ordering one of his fine instruments, check it out at www.rocknrollrelics.net.

However, he also wanted to create a guitar that would not be outrageously expensive. The end result was a guitar that many could afford. In addition to looking like an awesome vintage guitar, the S-63 also features a number of modern options. Nash knows all about building vintage guitars—he has repaired, refurbished, and traded many Gibson and Fender guitars over the years. Read more
