Independent makers and shops
Every store we list
8,259 live listings across 11 independent storefronts. None of them paid to be here, and none of them can pay to be higher up this page.
Haze Guitar
Strings, cables and small amps at real prices
Haze carries the everyday gear every player restocks constantly -- strings, cables, small practice amps -- at prices that make it worth checking before you default to whatever's nearest.

Acoustic Guitar
Books, lessons and gear from the magazine's own store
The storefront attached to Acoustic Guitar: instruction books, songbooks, transcriptions and accessories, aimed at players who want to get better rather than just buy more.

Folkcraft Instruments
Dulcimers and traditional folk instruments, built in Indiana
Folkcraft has been building mountain and hammered dulcimers for decades, alongside the strings, cases and parts that keep them playing. The kind of catalogue that exists nowhere else because almost nobody else makes these.
824 listings · from $3
EART Guitar
Direct-from-maker electric and acoustic guitars
EART builds and sells its own guitars direct, without a middleman markup between the workshop and your case. Every listing here is real, current inventory read from their own storefront, not a scrape.

Go Kalimba
Kalimbas and folk hand percussion
A specialist in kalimbas and related folk instruments -- the kind of niche catalogue that's easy to overlook if you're only searching for guitars and amps.

Jamstik
MIDI guitars and practice tools that plug into your DAW
Jamstik builds smart guitars and MIDI controllers designed for players who learn and record on a screen. Narrow catalogue, unusually specific: nothing else here does what these do.

Jackson Audio
Boutique pedal maker, direct storefront
Jackson Audio is a boutique effects-pedal maker selling direct. The catalogue is small by design, the way boutique pedal runs always are: short builds, high spec, no filler.
60 listings · from $49.99
Eminence Digital
Digital impulse-response packs for cab simulation
Eminence Digital sells impulse-response packs -- digital cabinet simulation profiles, not physical gear -- for anyone modelling amp tone without a mic'd-up cab in the room.
60 listings · from $12.99
Play With Authority
An independent shop for players
A small independent storefront with a tightly chosen catalogue, the sort of shop that carries what its owner actually believes in rather than everything a distributor offers.
39 listings · from $12.99
Squaver
An independent WooCommerce storefront
Squaver runs on WooCommerce rather than Shopify like most of the family here, with a smaller, hand-picked catalogue.
