Retro Classic S

  • Ultimate expression of the Classic S

    Every aspect of the Retro Classic is a complete re-design of the traditional "S"-style guitar, from the body dimensions, countours, balance and routing to the neck design, construction and headstock. A truly revolutionary instrument that brings tone, looks, balance and playability to a whole new level.

  • Ultimate Tone

    The Retro Classic delivers harmonically rich tones with an ease of playability that is simply unmatched. Featuring master-grade woods, ultra-thin nitro-lacquer finish universal pickup routs, a floating 1088 Gotoh trem, and Grosh pickups. We do not have a custom shop. We ARE a Custom Shop!

  • Pure Passion • Pure Tone

    It all begins with Don Grosh himself. He selects the materials and oversees his team as they craft your Retro Classic. Don does the finish work and the final assembly himself. He puts his master craftsmanship into every instrument built at Grosh Guitars. Contact us today to start your dream guitar build!
