Martin Guitars
Founded in 1833 and still building in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, Martin effectively invented the American flat-top — and its Custom Shop is where that lineage still gets made by hand, one guitar at a time. On the Atlas you'll find only that end of the company: built-to-order Custom Shop instruments and the Authentic Series' pre-war reproductions (hide glue, hand-shaped bracing, VTS-aged tops), not the standard catalog.
Empire Music
Empire Music is a Pittsburgh guitar shop founded in 2002, grown from an 800-square-foot storefront into a 7,000-square-foot destination serving players from beginner to advanced. Alongside the retail floor it runs the Empire School of Music, a busy lesson program with a staff of instructors covering guitar, bass, piano, drums, and more. For boutique acoustic shoppers, the draw is custom-shop depth: Empire is a Martin Custom Shop dealer carrying one of the larger high-end Martin selections in the Atlas — recent stock has run from the mid-four figures well into five figures — alongside a Taylor custom inventory and a hand-selected NAMM Collection of show instruments chosen by the makers themselves. A full-service shop with a serious custom-shop floor, it's the natural in-person stop for high-end Martin and Taylor shopping in western Pennsylvania.
