Meet the People Behind NHP

NHP is a partnership between two people with different strengths and the same goal: to help players find guitars they love and keep those guitars playing their best.

Nick Sorel

Founder & Customer Experience

Nick grew up in Ellisville, Missouri, where local music shops gave him his first sense of community through guitar lessons, bands, and years of hanging around other players.

After a motocross accident in 2014 left Nick with a T-4 spinal cord injury, guitar remained a constant source of connection and purpose. He founded NHP in 2020 as an online guitar business rooted in the same welcoming spirit those early music shops gave him.

Today, Nick manages the business, works directly with customers, hand-picks guitars for sale, and helps players find the right path for their instrument and their goals.

Jordan Stone

Lead Guitar Technician

Jordan is a self-taught luthier who combines a software engineer’s precision with a musician’s instinct. For more than 15 years, he has developed his craft through hands-on work in his personal workshop.

His experience includes setups, refrets, wiring, hardware upgrades, acoustic repairs, electronics work, and the detailed problem-solving that helps each instrument reach its full potential.

Jordan also plays lead guitar in his church band, so he understands firsthand how much a properly set-up instrument can affect a player’s confidence, expression, and enjoyment.

How Nick & Jordan Came Together

About four years ago, Jordan first connected with NHP as a customer. We immediately hit it off over guitars and traded two Gretsch instruments: Nick took home a Sparkle Jet, while Jordan acquired a long-sought-after Gretsch Black Falcon.

During that conversation, Jordan shared his passion for working on guitars. Nick trusted him with a few personal instruments, and that first opportunity grew into the partnership we have today.

Built Around Players

NHP may have started with a love for unique and vintage guitars, but the work is ultimately about people. We want every customer to feel heard, respected, and confident about the instrument in front of them.

Whether you are buying your first guitar, searching for something special, preparing for a performance, or trying to give an old instrument another life, we are glad to be part of the process.
