The last I heard from Glen was that he was remodeling homes, with guitar building on the side, for additional economy. Smart move, as I have had a day job with guitar building on the side for most of my building career. Glen bought some rosettes from me years ago. Nice guy..... And if Glen is building classical guitars now, then he's is just being smart with the market trend since there is significant reduction in flamenco sales at this time. This is one reason I build flamencos with rosewood backs and sides, as the action can always be adjusted to fit any style and the tap plate can always be referred to as a tonal plate, which can actually protect a classical top. The trick here is to be sure that both styles can be built with proper string tension for classical and flamenco.
