These Hus and Dalton Guitars are consistently the best sounding acoustics you can buy!!
I had a DS Custom a couple of years ago. It was a gorgeous guitar. Had to move it on for health reasons.... I'm happy to say that I had one in my Musical Career!!!
Have been lucky to play a number of these beauties over the years - and they were ALL cannons! Magnificent works of craftsmanship.
I love re-watching this video. 👍
This is awesome.
Nothing like having your own handmade guitar! I play a Jerry Starr F100E.
Jerry was lead guitarist at one time for the Jones Boys, George Jones' band, but then he quit and started making premium guitars and other instruments in Albuquerque.
I hear ya..I own a Rushing guitar out of Tennessee...Johnny worked for Martin for years before going solo..I love that guitar!
I like your guitars very mouch, sounding great and looks great,greetings from Croatia.....
Wish I could play one...They peaked my interest. I have a Don Musser. Want a Lowden but Huss & Dalton...Hmmm...
Quite a few machines used in the handmade process
There is a reason that all major manufacturers are using CNC type devices in their "handmaking" process - precision and the ability to replicate precision makes better guitars. Some areas are still handled better by hand, but others that require exactness better done by machines. I applaud H&D, Collings, Martin, Taylor who are currently making their best instruments ever because they know where machines do it better and where hands and human eye are best.
What? Three days of sanding isn't enough? lol
I want them to cut the trees down and saw the boards by hand. I want them to make the glue and melt down the steel to make the frets by hand as well. All without power tools and no electricity in the building for lights. No shortcuts.
@@AchillesWrath1 dont forget mine the steel bits, and sail the wood across from the jungle.

Why use epoxy to attach the fretboard?
These guitars are really well crafted and ridiculously overpriced. When CNC machines are used to craft guitars, the price should go Down. Not up.
There is still a significant amount of handwork. The CNCs handle the larger cuts/jobs that are much more efficient and accurate than doing it by hand. There are almost no boutique builders that don’t use a CNC at some point in the process. A couple more things to consider are the quality of materials and tone woods that are used, and the fact that they are only a 4-6 person operation.
Huss and Dalton used isn't expensive
My Huss and Dalton is well worth the price. I've had several nice guitars. Martin, Taylor, McPherson, Tacoma ect... But the craftsmanship ,tone ,and playability of my Huss and Dalton is the best to me.
It's very hard to make it in the guitar building business because there are so many out there. It's not just Gibson and Martin anymore!
