Dudenbostel Guitars
Dudenbostel Guitars come out of Maryville, Tennessee — a one-builder shop run by Lynn Dudenbostel, who builds both flat-top guitars and mandolins. Lynn — known to the boutique community as "Dude" — is best known for pre-war Martin replicas: herringbone-trimmed 28-style 00s, 000s, and OMs in Brazilian rosewood and Adirondack spruce. He works on roughly three instruments at a time and rotates between phases — months of mandolin work, then months of guitars. The mandolin range runs from snakehead A-styles to full F-styles in varnish finish. Tonewood patience is the through-line: Brazilian rosewood sets held quietly for fifteen years until the right commission justifies them. Fretboard Journal calls the work "some of the most coveted acoustic instruments built today." Multi-year wait list.

Guitar Gallery
Guitar Gallery is a Nashville-based online dealer specializing in fine handmade acoustic guitars, run out of South Nashville's Berry Hill music district. Their authorized-builder roster has the breadth few US shops match — Bashkin, Beauregard, Borges, Froggy Bottom, Greven, Lowden, McPherson, Olson, Osthoff, Petros, Sexauer, Tippin, Wingert, and dozens more, alongside a deep tail of vintage and used inventory from harder-to-find names like Traugott, Sobell, Klein, Wayne Henderson, and Dudenbostel. Every listing carries a consistent in-house recording — Shure SM81 or Neumann TLM 102 microphone, no EQ, no effects, mic placement held constant — so buyers can compare what each specific guitar actually sounds like rather than how it was captured. The active shelf rotates broadly across that roster rather than running deep on any single builder; the catalog as a whole is wider than it is tall.
