Huss and Dalton Guitars and Banjos
Jeff Huss and Mark Dalton have put together a remarkably diverse line of models in barely ten years. This is partly because they had lots of experience working for Stelling Banjo Works before forming a partnership to build their own guitars.

We find Huss & Dalton models to be an appealing blend of traditional shapes and styles combined with new ideas and variations. Yes, they build a herringbone Dreadnought, and an OM model, but even their most devotedly traditional models still have lots of individual touches that mark the guitar as their own, and you don’t have to search for a label to know who made the guitar. Other models, like the CM, a small guitar with deep sides, is refreshingly different.

Other popular Huss & Dalton models are the 00, a slope-shouldered Dreadnought, and the MJ, a 16 inch jumbo. Some features you often pay extra for with other makers, such as wood binding and snowflake fretboard inlays, are often included as stock on many Huss & Dalton guitars.

Considering they started out building banjos for Stelling, it seems only natural that Jeff and Mark would offer banjos under their own name. The Owens Mill is a full-on bluegrass banjo, while the Singletree is an open-back model with 12 inch head and “scooped” fretboard. Gryphon carries both models.

Gryphon’s stock of Huss & Dalton guitars varies, and as it often takes at least a couple of months to replace a model that we’ve recently sold, we’re often out of our favorites.
