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.
The Music Zoo
On Long Island in Farmingdale, The Music Zoo has been a destination for collectible and custom-shop instruments since 1994, its close factory relationships bringing in runs made to the shop's own specifications. The acoustic room leans to the top of the majors' catalogs — Martin Custom Shop flat-tops, Gibson Custom Shop and Murphy Lab reissues, and top-tier Taylor — with Huss & Dalton and Goodall adding a boutique thread. Comfortable playing rooms and a collector's eye make it a rare full-line shop with real high-end acoustic depth.
