Huss
& Dalton Musical Instruments began in 1995 when Jeff Huss and
Mark Dalton had the idea to build the guitar that they wanted
to play. While appreciating the traditional design, both had
visions of a guitar that paid homage to tradition while incorparating
improvements in the structural design and ascethics of the steel
string guitar. Jeff and Mark utilize a hands on "Bench Style"
of building combined with the precision that modern tooling and
techniques offer.

Huss & Dalton
guitars feature two distinct construction styles. On all
standard series models, they employ the use of a 25' radius built
into the guitar top, which is achieved by milling an arch into
the braces and preparing the sides with the same radius to accept
the soundboard.
A positive by-product of the radiused soundboard
design, besides it’s load-bearing properties, is a boost
in the mid-range. This helps their guitars to have a more balanced
tonal quality than traditional designs. The Traditional series
features the same 25' radius prepared into the braces, but the
sides are left flat for a more traditional build style. This build
style tends to have a more traditional tonal character, emphasizing
a bit more bass.
