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 Fretted Buffalo
The Fretted Buffalo is an online-first dealer based near Buffalo, New York, working from a deliberately small, curated catalog rather than a sprawling floor — instruments chosen, in the shop's words, for tone, craftsmanship, and individuality. Most of their guitars ship across the country, so the business is built around earning a distance buyer's trust: detailed descriptions, professional photography, and demonstration videos on each listing, backed by a seven-day approval period and free insured shipping within the continental US. The boutique acoustic shelf leans into the modern fingerstyle and flatpicking names — Bourgeois (and its Touchstone line), Huss & Dalton, Lowden, Furch, Atkin, and Boucher — alongside Gallagher, Hozen, Avenir, McIlroy, and McNally, with the occasional used Martin or Preston Thompson rounding out the catalog. A small, carefully chosen collection with the online presentation to match.
