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.
Chicago Music Exchange
A Chicago fixture in Lakeview, Chicago Music Exchange has spent a quarter-century as one of the country's premier vintage-and-new guitar destinations, staffed by players and technicians who relish the details. Amid a vast catalog of electrics, amps, and effects sits a serious flat-top room: unusually deep Atkin alongside Collings, Santa Cruz, and Bourgeois, with Goodall, Lowden, and Huss & Dalton rounding out the shelves. The boutique-acoustic selection reads like the work of people who actually play what they sell.
