Irvin Guitars
Irvin Guitars is the one-man shop of Wayne Irvin Johnson — he builds under his middle name — in Springfield, Missouri. He came to it the long way round: a Sears Silvertone at six in 1967, a Martin D-28 in 1978 paid for with two summers of hay-field wages, then a 1995 detour into hand-built acoustics that carried him through James Olson's shop and, years later, to Sergei de Jonge's School of Lutherie, where Irvin Guitars began. He offers four shapes — the SJ small jumbo, the 12-fret SP Signature Parlor, the SD dreadnought and the compact SB — and builds slowly by policy, on the conviction that every wood set has a best voice in it and that finding it takes as long as it takes.
Eddie's Guitars

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.
