Martin Guitars
Founded in 1833 and still building in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, Martin effectively invented the American flat-top — and its Custom Shop is where that lineage still gets made by hand, one guitar at a time. On the Atlas you'll find only that end of the company: built-to-order Custom Shop instruments and the Authentic Series' pre-war reproductions (hide glue, hand-shaped bracing, VTS-aged tops), not the standard catalog.
Chicago Music Exchange
A Chicago fixture in Lakeview, Chicago Music Exchange has spent a quarter-century as one of the country's premier vintage-and-new guitar destinations, staffed by players and technicians who relish the details. Amid a vast catalog of electrics, amps, and effects sits a serious flat-top room: unusually deep Atkin alongside Collings, Santa Cruz, and Bourgeois, with Goodall, Lowden, and Huss & Dalton rounding out the shelves. The boutique-acoustic selection reads like the work of people who actually play what they sell.
