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.
TR Crandall Guitars
TR Crandall Guitars opened in New York's East Village in 2015 — a curated, repair-anchored shop launched by Alex Whitman and Tom Crandall. The store is built around Tom's in-house repair bench: every instrument is evaluated and set up before it goes on the wall. Their inventory leans deep on Collings alongside a long tail of vintage and one-off acoustics, with a curatorial approach that reads more like a careful selection than a catalog.
