Gibson Guitars
Founded in 1894, Gibson built the flat-tops that run through a century of popular music — the J-45, the Hummingbird — and still makes its acoustics by hand in Bozeman, Montana. The Atlas carries only its Custom end: the Historic reissues and Murphy Lab–aged recreations of those vintage models, not standard Original- or Modern-Collection production.
Rudy's Music
Rudy's Music opened in 1978 when Rudy Pensa and his wife Fran started a small shop on 48th Street, the legendary Midtown block where New York's instrument dealers stacked floor by floor. Born in Argentina, Rudy is a builder as well as a shopkeeper — the Pensa Custom Shop's MK model, designed with Mark Knopfler in 1985, sits among the most sought-after custom electrics in the world. The shop moved to a Soho flagship at 461 Broome St in 2014 — chosen for its proximity to John D'Angelico's old Kenmare St workshop and the original Martin factory site — and a second location opened in Scarsdale Village in 2018, with inventory unified across both stores. Their boutique acoustic floor leans on Santa Cruz, Bourgeois, Collings, and Goodall alongside the shop's deeper electric, amp, and pedal catalog — one of the few NYC destinations where a buyer can walk in and find a curated high-end acoustic selection.
