McNally Guitars
Ciaran McNally trained as a senior craftsman at George Lowden in Northern Ireland, then as production manager at Atkin Guitars in England, before going independent in 2020 from his Craigavon workshop. The McNally voice combines the warmth and complexity of Celtic-tradition acoustics with the fundamental clarity and projection of great American steel-strings. The catalog runs from a five-body-shape Foundation series to fully bespoke commissions.
The Fretted Buffalo
The Fretted Buffalo is an online-first dealer based near Buffalo, New York, working from a deliberately small, curated catalog rather than a sprawling floor — instruments chosen, in the shop's words, for tone, craftsmanship, and individuality. Most of their guitars ship across the country, so the business is built around earning a distance buyer's trust: detailed descriptions, professional photography, and demonstration videos on each listing, backed by a seven-day approval period and free insured shipping within the continental US. The boutique acoustic shelf leans into the modern fingerstyle and flatpicking names — Bourgeois (and its Touchstone line), Huss & Dalton, Lowden, Furch, Atkin, and Boucher — alongside Gallagher, Hozen, Avenir, McIlroy, and McNally, with the occasional used Martin or Preston Thompson rounding out the catalog. A small, carefully chosen collection with the online presentation to match.
