Santa Cruz Guitar Company
Santa Cruz Guitar Company has built guitars in Santa Cruz, California since 1976, when Richard Hoover founded the shop to bring violin-lutherie traditions into acoustic guitar building. Each top is tap-tuned by hand in a strictly climate-controlled workshop. The shop's connection with Tony Rice — the Tony Rice Model is modeled on his pre-war Martin D-28 — anchored its reputation in bluegrass flatpicking, and the catalog has expanded over five decades into a deep custom-shop operation where most builds are individually specified rather than spec-built.
Eddie's Guitars
Eddie's Guitars is a family-owned shop in Historic Maplewood, Missouri — founded by Ed Putney in 1971 and now operated alongside his son Nathan. Their boutique acoustic catalog runs deep across the modern canon, with particular strength in Bourgeois Custom Shop, Collings, Santa Cruz, Atkin, Goodall, Huss & Dalton, and Froggy Bottom. The shop operates by appointment only, delivering a private demo experience for serious players and collectors.
