Grosh Guitars

Don Grosh started developing expert craftsmanship and attention to detail early on working in his father’s shop building sets for Hollywood film productions. These skills plus an innate sense of vision concerning guitar building led to the formation of Grosh Guitars. Don spent some time honing these skills as the Shop Foreman at Valley Arts in the 80’s creating guitars for guitar greats like Steve Lukather, Larry Carlton, and Vince Gill among others. Working with these high-caliber musicians taught Don a lot about dealing with very particular clients. He took these lessons learned and in 1993, Don Grosh Custom Guitars was born.

Starting out in the garage of his parent’s house, Don began his company to build hand-made custom guitars that topped the scales in playability, comfort, and tone. All Grosh Guitars are designed from the ground up with original concepts and unique vision. His first models were variations on the T-style guitars and were followed up by the legendary Retro Classic. Every aspect of the Retro Classic was conceived and designed from the ground up, despite their similarity to the traditional American S-style double cut guitar. Followed up by a stellar review in Guitar Player Magazine, the Retro Classic put Grosh Guitars on the map, helping expand the dealer base and by 2001, he had produced over 1000 instruments. This led to a move to a new facility in Santa Clara and building a team to expand production. This was followed up by the introduction of the Grosh Set Neck model, another re-invented take on a classic American instrument. The Set Neck brought as much attention as the Retro Classic and the reputation of Grosh Guitars grew even more.

This steady growth and reputation led Don to move Grosh Guitars to Colorado in an expanded facility that allowed him to assemble a team of top-notch builders that would help him take his company to the next level. Grosh Guitars is currently producing guitars and basses in this facility that meet only the highest standards of excellence in tone and playability. Grosh Guitars are known worldwide and each and every instrument is built from the ground up with customizable options.
