Gibson Guitars
Founded in 1894, Gibson built the flat-tops that run through a century of popular music — the J-45, the Hummingbird — and still makes its acoustics by hand in Bozeman, Montana. The Atlas carries only its Custom end: the Historic reissues and Murphy Lab–aged recreations of those vintage models, not standard Original- or Modern-Collection production.
Peach Guitars
Peach Guitars opened in 1991 in a Braintree craft centre — initially selling guitars alongside metal detectors — before founder Derek Peachey hired blues player John Priest, who eventually took over with his father Alan. In 2017 the business consolidated into a 2-floor superstore on Colchester's Severalls Industrial Estate, now displaying over 1,500 guitars. A western-themed showroom called the Peach Saloon, with stage and bar, hosts in-store events; each shipped guitar receives inspection and a professional setup.
