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.
Fuller's Guitar
Fuller's Guitar opened in Houston in 1994 as Mike Fuller's lifelong dream and has grown into one of the largest independent guitar stores in the US. Every instrument is inspected and set up to factory spec by the shop's in-house luthiers before it goes on the wall. The catalog runs broad — a deep Fender, Gibson, and electric slate sits alongside the acoustic floor — but for acoustic shoppers the draw is the Gibson, Martin, and Taylor inventory, including custom-shop and high-end work, plus a boutique shelf of Collings, Santa Cruz, and Waterloo and a row of Eastman and National resophonics. Fuller's brokers custom orders directly from many of the builders it carries. As the Houston anchor in the Atlas, it's the natural in-person stop for boutique acoustic shopping along the Texas Gulf Coast.
