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.
Down Home Guitars
Down Home Guitars has been a Frankfort, Illinois fixture since 2008 — set inside the historic Trolley Barn just southwest of Chicago, with a deliberately narrow focus on hand-built acoustic instruments. The shop carries Bourgeois, Collings, Huss & Dalton, Lowden, and Santa Cruz alongside George Lowden Master Series and Hinde, with new and used inventory rotating side by side. Owner Steve Haberichter has tied the shop deeply into the regional bluegrass community: the affiliated Frankfort Bluegrass Festival has won IBMA Event-of-the-Year recognition, and weekly jams Steve hosts at a nearby brewery keep musicians circulating through the doors. The Down Home Music School operates upstairs — more than three hundred lessons a week across six insulated lesson rooms — and a full repair shop covers everything from setups to neck resets. The retail floor, the school, and the festival presence together make the shop a regional anchor for acoustic musicians across the Chicago south suburbs.
