Huss & Dalton
Huss & Dalton Guitar Company has built acoustic guitars in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia since 1995, when Jeff Huss and Mark Dalton founded the shop. The catalog runs from steel-string flat-tops through a smaller line of electric guitars, with a longstanding focus on the pre-war American flat-top tradition — the Crossroads, the T-OO, and the TD series among the recognizable builds. Brian Dickel, a long-time member of the team, took over ownership in 2021, and the shop continues building under the same craftsmanship principles.
The Fellowship of Acoustics
The Fellowship of Acoustics (TFOA) is a destination acoustic shop in Dedemsvaart, eastern Netherlands, run by Rudi Bults and his family since 2001 — what started as a barn-side business has grown into one of Europe's largest specialty guitar shops, housed since 2015 in a former town hall ("Villa Dina") that holds upwards of a thousand guitars. From the start, TFOA bet on selling worldwide in English from a small Dutch town, focused entirely on quality handmade instruments rather than mass-market volume. The villa houses retail, a luthier workshop with their "Gold Standard" setup and a PLEK machine for precision fret work, plus a small theatre and a music school under the same roof. Their boutique acoustic shelves run deep on Bourgeois, Collings, Santa Cruz, Lowden, Furch, Goodall, and Huss & Dalton, alongside a strong vintage and consigned catalog.
