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.
The Music Emporium
The Music Emporium has been a Boston-area institution for decades — a Lexington, Massachusetts shop with one of the deepest curated boutique acoustic catalogs in the country. They're the kind of dealer where Bourgeois, Olson, Lowden, and Collings sit on the wall like that's a normal day, and where working players and serious collectors have done business in person and at distance for years.
