Well, the links tell the stories really, but Huss & Dalton guitars are made in a small Virginia shop and the Froggy Bottoms are made in Vermont in an even smaller shop. H&D tends towards a vintage Martin sound and the Frogs are just in a league of their own.

Collings guitars are made outside of Austin; the sound is a bit brighter than what one might find on a good Martin but I'm partial to the sound and enjoy the guitars a lot.
