About Froggy Bottom Guitars
Froggy Bottom Guitars are built in Newfane, Vermont, by a five-person shop Michael Millard has led since 1970 — when he built the first one in his Lower East Side apartment while serving as shop foreman at Gurian Guitars in New York City. The shop never grew by choice. Today's team builds around 75 instruments a year, every one custom-spec'd to an individual player and built face-down in the classical-guitar tradition Michael learned from Gurian. The Froggy Bottom signature is more in the methodology than the silhouette: from thirty feet away the guitars look like traditional steel-strings, but every component of every build is varied to a specific player's needs, bracing voiced by ear and necks finish-carved by hand. Build queues run into years; Froggy Bottom buyers tend to know exactly what they're going for and find it nowhere else.
