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.
About Northern Lights Music
Northern Lights Music is a family-owned independent in Littleton, New Hampshire, operating since 1978 from a Main Street storefront in the heart of the White Mountains. The shop's boutique acoustic floor runs unusually deep for a town its size — Bourgeois is the standout, alongside Santa Cruz, Collings, Lowden, and Huss & Dalton, with rotating inventory from Froggy Bottom, Goodall, Preston Thompson, Greven, Larrivée, and McPherson. New and used sit side by side, and the used catalog regularly turns up vintage examples of the same builders. The shop's geographic position — roughly three hours north of Boston and four from Montreal — makes it a destination dealer for upper New England and southern Quebec rather than a walk-by retailer.
