Martin Guitars
Founded in 1833 and still building in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, Martin effectively invented the American flat-top — and its Custom Shop is where that lineage still gets made by hand, one guitar at a time. On the Atlas you'll find only that end of the company: built-to-order Custom Shop instruments and the Authentic Series' pre-war reproductions (hide glue, hand-shaped bracing, VTS-aged tops), not the standard catalog.
Mass Street Music
Mass Street Music has operated for more than three decades on Massachusetts Street in Lawrence, Kansas — an independent shop with a wide catalog spanning new, used, and vintage instruments. The boutique acoustic shelves run heavy on Collings, with Santa Cruz, Waterloo, and occasional single-luthier builds (Leo Posch among them) rounding out the inventory. Every guitar that leaves the floor — boutique-priced or value-priced — gets a free setup from the in-house luthiers.
