Lowden Guitars
Lowden Guitars are built in Downpatrick, County Down, Northern Ireland — the work of George Lowden, who turned professional in 1974 and has spent fifty years refining a voice unlike anything else in the acoustic world: shimmering, harmonically layered, with a long singing sustain. Much of that character traces to choices George arrived at early — his "dolphin" strut profiles and A-frame bracing, a five-piece neck, a soundbox designed from the physics up rather than after the American dreadnought — and the result is a guitar players recognise instantly. Lowden was fingerstyle shorthand long before Ed Sheeran carried one onto arena stages; Pierre Bensusan, Alex de Grassi, Richard Thompson, and Paul Brady are among those who've made a Lowden their own. Since 2004 it has been a family firm, with George's sons now in the workshop.
Tone Shop Guitars
Tone Shop Guitars was founded in Addison, Texas in 2015 by Dallas–Fort Worth musicians and has since grown into three full-line shops across the metroplex — the original Addison store plus Fort Worth and Southlake. The floor runs new, used, and vintage side by side, backed by an in-house tech bench and a Plek machine at the Addison location. For acoustic shoppers, the shop is led by deep Martin and Taylor catalogs — with substantial Martin Custom Shop and Taylor Custom content — alongside Gibson's acoustic line and a real Collings shelf. They also run a custom-order program spanning Collings, Martin, Taylor, and Gibson custom acoustics, helping buyers spec and order a build directly from the factory. A broad Dallas–Fort Worth destination with one of the widest custom-shop selections in the region.
