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.
Mass Street Music
Mass Street Music has operated for more than three decades on Massachusetts Street in Lawrence, Kansas — an independent shop with a wide catalog spanning new, used, and vintage instruments. The boutique acoustic shelves run heavy on Collings, with Santa Cruz, Waterloo, and occasional single-luthier builds (Leo Posch among them) rounding out the inventory. Every guitar that leaves the floor — boutique-priced or value-priced — gets a free setup from the in-house luthiers.
