Based in Staunton, Virginia, the Huss & Dalton Guitar Company was founded almost 28 years ago. Highly respected as a premier maker of flattop steel-string guitars, electric guitars, and banjos, the company recently completed its 6000th guitar. A custom-ordered DM model with a Sitka spruce top, figured sinker mahogany back and sides, and short-pattern fretboard inlay, the guitar will be available at The Fretted Buffalo, in Buffalo, New York. Peghead Nation congratulates Huss & Dalton on this major milestone!
