Another striking OM Custom heading to Eddie’s Guitars (Eddie's Guitars).

They’ve become big fans of sinker Cypress tops, and we can see why. This one is paired with dense African Blackwood back and sides and built with traditional hot hide glue construction.

The details are pretty special too. Hand mitered ’42 Abalone top trim, fretboard surround and backstrip, bloodwood bindings, long pattern Abalone Snowflake inlays, a traditional pyramid bridge, and Gold Waverly tuners with ebony buttons complete the package.

A beautifully appointed OM with a combination of woods and craftsmanship that really makes this one stand out. Contact Eddie’s today for this dream build.

Down Home Guitars (Down Home Guitars) asked for the brightest Cocobolo we’ve ever seen and it does not disappoint! We searched high and low and sourced an equally bright Cocobolo fretboard and bridge blank and it completes the package into a real show stopper.

The sound on this TD-R Custom is very loud but balanced due to the beautiful Italian Spruce/Cocobolo combination. The Adirondack Red Spruce bracing and Honduran Rosewood bridge plate (both standard on all Huss & Dalton) are fastened with the hot hide glue upgrade for a mix of modern and vintage. Wrapped up in grained Ivoroid bindings all around and Waverly tuners this guitar is sure to move quickly. Contact Down Home today before it’s too late!

TOM-R Custom:

Highly figured Australian Blackwood back/sides, Thermo-Cured Adirondack Red Spruce top, Ivoroid body binding, and just the right amount of custom detail to make this beauty stand out from the crowd.

This one is heading to Northern Lights Music (Northern Lights Music) and definitely worth stopping in to see and play in person!

Chicago! We’re happy to displaying at the Old Town School of Folk Music for the annual Fretboard Summit hosted by our friends at The Fretboard Journal.

Our dear friends at Tree Bone Guitars (Tree Bone Guitars) picked up three beautiful Huss & Dalton customs today, and if you’re anywhere near Fredericksburg, VA, you owe it to yourself to stop by their brand-new showroom and check out their incredible H&D inventory.

Left to Right:
Sinker on Sinker
This one is truly the end of an era. Featuring one of the very last “Blue Denim” Bearclaw Sitka Spruce tops we’ll ever build with, this wood supply is completely exhausted. Chances are we’ll never have the opportunity to use it again. Paired with stunning Sinker Mahogany back and sides, this guitar is a true one-of-one that simply can’t be replicated. It was a fun ride while it lasted!

Custom Meridian DC
Finished in a gorgeous sunburst and loaded with Lindy Fralin Modern PAF humbuckers, this Meridian DC has tone for days. With clean standard appointments and a voice that’s equally at home with any style this one is ready to be played.

Custom OM-C
Western Red Cedar over East Indian Rosewood creates a warm, expressive fingerstyle machine with a classic James Taylor-inspired character. Cedar responds effortlessly to a light touch, while the rosewood adds rich overtones and balance across the entire tonal spectrum. It’s smooth, dynamic, and fun to play!

Give the team at Tree Bone Guitars a call today about these three beauties or any of the other amazing Huss & Dalton guitars they have in stock. You won’t find a better group of people to help you find your next forever guitar.

A beautifully understated take on one of our favorite body styles.

This Custom OOO pairs a Thermo-Cured Sitka spruce top with striking Fiddleback Mahogany back and sides for a warm, responsive voice that’s equally at home under a light touch or a flatpick. Finished with nickel Waverly tuners, it’s a build that lets the wood do the talking.

If you’ve been waiting for an OOO with just the right subtle upgrades, Organic Sounds Select Guitars (organicsoundsselectguitars) has one ready for you!

Give Larry and his team a call today to reserve the first spin when it arrives.

Our friends at Eddie’s Guitars (Eddie's Guitars) have done it again. They love our OM’s and we’re sure this one will fit right in.

Starting with the stunning Dark Forest Century Cypress top that has been underwater for decades giving the old growth both visual and sonic qualities you can’t replicate any other way. Tone that is warm and woody but has a bit of bite when you want more. Paired with an equally stunning Cocobolo back/sides you get that nice trajection from the dense hardwood and brightness that isn’t too glassy. We love this combo and think you will too.
Subtly finished with details such as hot hide glue bracing, koa bindings all around, Abalone backstrip and rosette and a pyramid bridge this guitar stands out from the crowd with just the raw beauty of the woods and appointments.
Give Eddie’s a call to reserve your chance at this one of a kind beauty!

This year marked our first time sponsoring FloydFest (FloydFest), and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience.
From the moment we arrived, the FloydFest team welcomed us with incredible kindness, respect, and hospitality. It’s something that means more now than ever. The warmth, joy, and genuine sense of community we experienced over five days won’t soon be forgotten, and we’re already looking forward to many more years together.
We somehow managed to make it through the week without a single team photo, mostly because we were all scattered across the festival talking with so many wonderful people and catching all the music. It was a great reminder that every now and then it’s good to step out of the shop and experience the other side of music—the people who gather around it.
One thing that really stood out to us was the care put into every detail of FloydFest. You can feel it everywhere. It resonates deeply with what we believe at Huss & Dalton. The little things matter. Whether people consciously notice them or not, it’s those thoughtful details that create something lasting.
So thank you, FloydFest. And thank you to everyone who stopped us because you recognized an H&D shirt or hat, picked up a guitar raffle ticket, shared a story, or simply introduced yourself. Those conversations were the highlight of our week. To top it off the raffle proceeds are helping the next generation of musicians and that’s a cause we support wholeheartedly!
If you’re new here because of FloydFest, welcome. We’re glad you found us. And if you’ve been following us for a while, put FloydFest on your radar. It’s a truly special place.
When we gave away the guitar from the main stage, I said a few words about treating the people around us with kindness. We meant every word. We try to live that out not only in our business, but in our lives.
The world can feel heavy sometimes. Weeks like this are a reminder that the human spirit is far more resilient than we often give it credit for. Let’s carry that kindness and sense of community with us until we meet again.
❤️ Brian & the Huss & Dalton team
