About Santa Cruz Guitar Company
Santa Cruz Guitar Company has built guitars in Santa Cruz, California since 1976, when Richard Hoover founded the shop to bring violin-lutherie traditions into acoustic guitar building. Each top is tap-tuned by hand in a strictly climate-controlled workshop. The shop's connection with Tony Rice — the Tony Rice Model is modeled on his pre-war Martin D-28 — anchored its reputation in bluegrass flatpicking, and the catalog has expanded over five decades into a deep custom-shop operation where most builds are individually specified rather than spec-built.
About The Fellowship of Acoustics
The Fellowship of Acoustics (TFOA) is a destination acoustic shop in Dedemsvaart, eastern Netherlands, run by Rudi Bults and his family since 2001 — what started as a barn-side business has grown into one of Europe's largest specialty guitar shops, housed since 2015 in a former town hall ("Villa Dina") that holds upwards of a thousand guitars. From the start, TFOA bet on selling worldwide in English from a small Dutch town, focused entirely on quality handmade instruments rather than mass-market volume. The villa houses retail, a luthier workshop with their "Gold Standard" setup and a PLEK machine for precision fret work, plus a small theatre and a music school under the same roof. Their boutique acoustic shelves run deep on Bourgeois, Collings, Santa Cruz, Lowden, Furch, Goodall, and Huss & Dalton, alongside a strong vintage and consigned catalog.
