About 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.
About Jake's Main Street Music
Main Street Music is a small Beacon, New York shop run by Jacob Bernz and his Grammy-winning father David Bernz, opened in 2013 a few doors from the Town Crier Cafe — one of the East Coast's longest-running acoustic music venues. Both owners are working acoustic musicians, and they treat the shop as a community gathering place as much as a retail store, hosting story nights, pub sings, and concerts alongside the inventory. Setups and repairs are run by Joseph Dibisceglie (formerly of Imperial Guitar and Sound) in a relaxed sit-and-try-it atmosphere across new, used, vintage, and consigned instruments. Their boutique acoustic shelves anchor on Collings, Santa Cruz, Lowden, Bourgeois, Larrivée, and Huss & Dalton.
