Welcome to RetroFret! Welcome to RetroFret! Welcome to RetroFret!

We were thrilled to have Nora Brown join us in our showroom for a set of music. Here she is playing the tune "Little Satchel."

Before Ebay, before Reverb, there was Skip.
Join us for a live event at RetroFret Friday, April 18 to welcome vintage guitar iconoclast Skip Henderson,
curator and creator of the cult classic City Lights Print Out.

In the 1980's The City Lights Print Out was Skip's handmade mail order catalog,
"The New Journal of Civilization... Your Pathway to Cosmic Truth by Mail!"
For some of us here at RetroFret, Skip was our mentor in the wild and wooly early days of vintage guitar lust,
so we're thrilled to have him join us at the shop for an evening of... well, whatever he has up his sleeve.
Like City Lights, it's always a surprise! Join us and get a taste of the legend, the lore, the one and only Skip.
