Fairbanks Guitars
Dale Fairbanks builds vintage-inspired flat-tops one at a time in Burlington, Vermont, where his shop shares a roof with Circle Strings and Iris Guitars. A Berklee-trained musician turned luthier, he has spent two decades chasing the elusive "thing" that pre-war small-body Gibsons have — the L-00, L-1, Nick Lucas, J-35 and J-45 — and building what he calls the best modern reproductions of the coolest guitars ever made: featherweight, period-voiced instruments with a dry, punchy, country-blues bark. Low volume, high demand, effectively all built to order.
Acoustic Music Works
Acoustic Music Works is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania shop with a deep new-and-used boutique acoustic catalog. Their inventory leans heavily on Collings — Hill Country, Brazilian rosewood, and pre-war-spec builds at the high end — alongside Huss & Dalton and Bourgeois. They also host in-store concerts by touring artists.
