Recluse Guitars was founded by husband-and-wife team Colin and Nikki Sprague in June 2021. Colin is a former Top 3 guitar technician of Sam Ash Music, the nation's largest family-owned and operated musical instrument retailer, where he spent 15 years working with a diverse client base after graduating from Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery. It's also where he met his wife, Nikki.
Many of Colin's clients were spending thousands of dollars on instruments that still fell short of what they needed. Throughout the course of his career, he listened to the tonal needs of hobbyists, professional guitarists and some of the best recording artists alike to find a solution to any tonal problem.
Most issues came not from bad gear, but from changing tastes. Broken gear is just broken, and can be fixed. Being unsatisfied with your tone goes much deeper than that. Your guitar should just do what you want it to do, dammit.
And so, Recluse Guitars was founded in that spirit. We designed a line of electric guitars crafted to be a sonic Swiss Army knife for the discerning producer. Guitars for the recording artist who, like us, understands that all you need is enough control over the waveform to make it sound like anything. Guitars that feel great, and look it, even from across the room. Guitars that, when guests come to record with you, cause them to get lost in the zone and end up leaving their axe in its case. The only guitar that you actually need in your studio.
Our mission is to help you make music. It really is that simple. Not every person needs every sound, but you do need a range of tones to cover everything you listen to. If you listen to enough country, you'll catch yourself playing country licks. (We know you know what we're talking about, Dimebag Darryl---RIP.) In a world of incredible digital audio processors that can do almost everything, your guitar ought to be able to keep up, not only with your multi-thousand dollar digital pedalboard but with your changing tastes as an artist... Or, let's be honest, the questionable taste of the artist you're being paid to record. Whatever the reason, our guitars are designed to keep you in your studio like a recluse, doing the thing you love most.
Our designs run the gamut from guitars that are capable of literally every sound all the way to more carefully crafted designs that hit all of the sounds of a particular genre, but it doesn't stop there. Part of being satisfied with your guitar is loving it for what it is, so we also offer a complete custom build service catered to your tastes.
We look forward to being your next major studio upgrade.
