Podcast 291: Michael Millard of Froggy Bottom Guitars

Michael Millard of Froggy Bottom Guitars reflects upon 50 years
of guitarmaking with one of our most insightful podcast
interviews to date. Millard is a legendary figure in the world of
musical instruments, using the lessons he learned working
alongside Michael Gurian in the early 1970s to create one of the
most collectible acoustic guitar brands of the modern era.


During this nearly hour-long chat, he talks about the unique ways
Froggy Bottoms are made, describes his company's unorthodox
business model, and announces his plan for retirement at the end
of 2020. Millard was trained as a psychologist and his unfiltered
thoughts on social injustice, the opportunities afforded him, and
the danger of expectations are a breath of fresh air.
